We Gave This Manhattan Resident a Stunning Kitchen Makeover

August 12, 2024

A busy doctor, Gary Peterson was moving into his new Manhattan apartment. It fit his needs perfectly, except that the kitchen needed a makeover. As a busy doctor, Gary had no time for a complete renovation, nor did he have much time to finish the kitchen before moving in. He turned to Google for answers, looking for the fastest way to transform a kitchen without having it completely remodeled.


His search led him to Cabinet Reface Direct, which he found in the top results. Upon looking at the website, he noted the company was best known for cabinet refacing but also offered custom services at a reasonable price and with reasonable completion times. He glanced at a couple of blogs and some before and after pictures of various jobs the company had completed. Satisfied they were capable of helping, he called Cabinet Reface Direct of Manhattan and spoke to one of their representatives, who listened to his needs and scheduled a convenient and free in-home consultation and price quote.

John, a Cabinet Reface designer, showed up punctually on appointment day, ready to look at Gary's kitchen and help determine his needs. They discussed a more modern aesthetic, which was what Gary had in mind. After deciding on white shaker-style cabinets, Gary asked about a new backsplash, counter, and sink. He also wanted to add more space, so John said he could install additional cabinets along the top of the current cabinets and update the crown molding.

John gave him a timeline for getting all of the components ready and scheduled a date to return as soon as possible. He arrived on the scheduled day to get started on the work, which he told Gary would take about three days.

Three days sounded great to Gary, especially compared to the several weeks a full renovation would have taken, and all of it for far less cost.

John brought another designer to help expedite the project. They worked tirelessly each day to stay on schedule, prepping all of the surfaces, replacing the old raised panel cabinets with the new shaker-style, and installing the new cabinets above. By the end of the third day, they went to work on the countertop and backsplash.

Gary watched the progress each day, impressed by the professional way they worked and the cohesiveness of the way it all came together. As promised, the transformation was finished on the third day and Gary came home as the last of the clean-up was done.


The difference between what his kitchen looked like before and after Cabinet Reface Direct was like night and day. He had the modern aesthetic he wanted, and they took care of it in the timely fashion he needed with his busy schedule. He expressed his gratitude for the work they accomplished and assured them he would be leaving a five-star rating on Google and recommending Cabinet Reface Direct to all his friends and family.
