Des Moines IA Cabinet Door Maker Transforms Kitchen with Custom Cabinet Doors in Urbandale, IA

At Cabinet RX, we take pride in being a trusted local cabinet door maker specializing in high-quality custom cabinet doors that transform kitchens for less than the cost of replacing. Recently, we had the pleasure of completing a cabinet refacing project for a homeowner in Urbandale, IA, part of the Des Moines metro area. By replacing the old doors and refinishing the existing cabinet frames, we gave this kitchen a completely new look—without the need for a full remodel.

The Power of Cabinet Refacing

Cabinet refacing is one of the most cost-effective ways to refresh a kitchen, offering a dramatic transformation without the expense of building all-new custom cabinets. In just three days, our team was able to replace the outdated doors, refinish the existing cabinet frames, and create a fresh, modern aesthetic that the homeowner loved.

Custom-Made Raised Panel Shaker 45 Doors

For this project, we crafted beautiful raised panel Shaker 45 doors, giving the kitchen a more artistic and refined look compared to traditional recessed panel doors. The subtle detailing of raised panels adds depth and elegance, elevating the overall design. Checkout the difference in a recessed panel vs. a raised panel below.

Jimmy S. in Urbandale chose a raised panel Shaker 45 door instead of a recessed panel for this Cabinet Refacing job.

Precision Craftsmanship, from a Local Des Moines Cabinet Door Maker

We know you can go online and buy doors finished and ready to go. Some of them may even be cheaper, but you won’t get the same process and attention to detail that you will get from hiring a local cabinet door maker. Here’s how our process works.

The Initial Estimate: We’ll talk with you about your needs, including what kind of doors you’re interested in. Then we’ll send you a quote with details on your specific project needs.
Quote Approval and Invoice: You’ll review the quote and let us know if you need any changes. Once approved, we’ll get you an invoice with a deposit amount due to get your job in our queue.
Job Prep: The next steps are to start prepping for the job. Once we get your deposit and get a date set, we’ll get with you about setting a time for us to come out and measure for your new doors. This ensures the doors are custom-made to fit your cabinets. We’ll also get with you about the door style and the color for your cabinets. We use Sherwin Williams’ colors, so there are plenty to choose from!
Job Week: Just before the job week, we’ll let you know what our start day will be. Most jobs take 3 days. We’ll arrive on that day and get ready prepping the area for the work. For a cabinet refacing, this includes removing the doors; cleaning, degreasing, and sanding the existing cabinets, and setting up the plastic bubble to protect the area from paint. We will the prime the cabinets and spray them with the color of your choice. While someone is making sure your cabinet frames are getting the attention they deserve, our team back in our Des Moines IA shop will be busy working on building your new doors and finishing them. We use high-quality materials to guarantee durability and style. On the last day, we will install your new doors and handles, and clean up our work. This is your chance to let us know if you see anything that needs touching up. When we’re done that day, we’ll collect final payment on the invoice.
After the Job: We’ll let you know how to care for your cabinet refacing and new doors as the paint is curing. If you have any questions, you can always contact us.
