The excitement of a kitchen transformation often comes with questions about environmental impact. For homeowners in Colorado committed to green living, a complete rip-and-replace remodel can feel wasteful. At Johnson Cabinetry & Refacing, we understand this concern deeply. That is why we champion cabinet refacing—it’s a powerful method to achieve a stunning, modern look while making a sustainable remodeling choice for your home and the planet.

Reducing Landfill Waste with Cabinet Refacing
Choosing a cabinet makeover through refacing is a significant step toward reducing construction waste. We preserve the existing, structurally sound cabinet boxes, which are the largest, heaviest components of your old kitchen. By keeping this core structure and simply updating the doors, drawers, and veneer, we avoid sending bulky materials to local landfills.
Conserving Natural Resources and Materials
When we choose refacing cabinets over a full tear-out, we dramatically cut down on the need for new raw materials. Manufacturing new custom cabinetry requires substantial lumber, wood products, and energy. Our approach of using new, high-quality components for the exterior facelift minimizes the demand on new resources, providing an eco-conscious alternative. This conservation effort aligns with our commitment to smarter remodeling.
The Energy Efficiency of a Shorter Process
A traditional, full cabinet replacement project involves extensive demolition, manufacturing, and transport. The entire process consumes a substantial amount of energy, from the factory floor to the final installation. Cabinet refacing is a much quicker, less invasive process. This condensed timeline naturally translates to a lower overall energy footprint, reducing disruption and offering a fast path to your beautiful, updated kitchen.
Cost-Effective & Sustainable Cabinet Refinishing
Opting for a professional cabinet makeover is not only a green choice but also a financially smart one. Because we retain the existing cabinet infrastructure, the overall material and labor costs are significantly lower than for new custom cabinetry. This cost-effectiveness allows Colorado homeowners to invest in higher-quality, sustainable materials for the components we do replace, ensuring a beautiful, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly result.
