A Cabinet Shop in Murfreesboro, TN
Cabinet shops in Murfreesboro, TN mostly see one job: a house from the 2000s whose doors have dated and whose boxes are fine. Over 20 years of combined crew experience, all of it in Rutherford County.
Over 20 years of combined experience, most of it on kitchens like yours
Murfreesboro Cabinet Co. is a cabinet refacing and finishing crew. Between the people who will actually be in your kitchen, that is more than two decades of taking doors off, prepping them, finishing them and hanging them straight.
Most of the work here is the same shape. A house built in the 2000s, doors and a finish that have dated, and boxes that are structurally fine. What separates a good outcome from a bad one is decided before anything is sprayed: what the doors are actually made of, whether the face frames will take a veneer, and which finish is going on.
Free in-home visit. No obligation.
The cabinet work we do
Three groups, all quoted the same way: the door and drawer count, what is replaced, the finish system, and the date the finish is hard.
Refacing and new fronts
Every door and drawer front replaced and the visible box faces veneered to match, in rigid thermofoil, high-pressure laminate, wood veneer or solid wood. Full, partial or inset overlay. New concealed hinges and hardware where the overlay changes.
Cabinet refacing in MurfreesboroPainting and refinishing
Doors off and sprayed away from the house, frames masked and finished in place. Color over the doors you have, or the old finish stripped back and recoated so the grain stays visible. Every face sealed, edges included.
Cabinet painting in MurfreesboroRepair and custom cabinetry
Hinges, drawer slides, reglued joints, spliced panels and water-damaged sink bases. New runs, islands and built-ins where the space is the problem rather than the doors, built against ANSI/KCMA A161.1.
Cabinet repair in MurfreesboroKitchens, bathrooms, laundries and built-ins. We do not sell flat-pack or ready-to-assemble cabinets, we do not fit countertops, and we do not do the plumbing or electrical work a layout change needs — separate trades, and you are told which one you need at the visit.
A quote should be a count and a specification, not a total
The same figure can describe every front replaced with veneered box faces, and the same fronts sprayed with the frames left alone. Two quotes are not comparable until what is being done is written down.
So ours states five lines on every job, and the first of them is the number of doors and drawer fronts we actually counted in your kitchen. Check it against the next quote you get.
- The countDoors and drawer fronts, counted in your kitchen. Every other line is multiplied by this one, and most quotes never state it.
- What is replacedFronts, box veneers, hinges, drawer boxes, hardware — item by item. "Refinish your cabinets" describes two different jobs at two different prices.
- The finish systemNamed, with how hard it cures. Conversion varnish, pre-catalyzed lacquer and cabinet-grade paint are three different products.
- Where it is sprayedDoors off site, frames masked in place. This decides how much of your house is involved.
- The cure dateThe day the finish is hard, which is days after the day it looks done. Most complaints about a good job start here.
Four things to ask any cabinet company in Rutherford County
None of these are about us. They are the questions that separate the quotes you will get, and they work on ours too.
- "Show me the license"Rutherford is one of only nine Tennessee counties requiring a Home Improvement Contractor license for residential work from $3,000 to under $25,000. Refacing sits inside that band, and holding the license also requires a $10,000 bond or other proof of financial responsibility.
- "How many fronts did you count?"If nobody counted, nobody priced. A number arrived at from the room rather than from the doors is an estimate of an estimate.
- "What are my doors made of?"The answer decides what is possible. A vinyl-faced thermofoil door cannot be painted in any lasting way, and a company that has not looked at an edge does not know yet.
- "When is it hard, not when is it finished?"A waterborne alkyd cabinet enamel is not ready for normal service for at least three to five days, and cool or damp air stretches that. If a quote has no answer to this, the doors are going back on and the rest is your problem.
Where we work
Murfreesboro and the rest of Rutherford County — Blackman, Salem, Barfield, Cason Lane, Berkshire, Evergreen Farms, Weston Village, Bradyville Pike, the MTSU area and downtown around the Square. One city, deliberately: a crew that is thirty minutes away can come back to adjust a door, and a crew that is ninety minutes away will find a reason not to.
The visit is free and the written quote is yours to keep.
