If you like the layout of your current cabinets and there’s nothing wrong with their interiors, you can save with cabinet refacing. When you have us reface your cabinets, you get our quality finished look without the time, the mess and the extra cost of completely new cabinets.
Refacing with traditional wood products is a specialty at Quality Cabinet Shop Inc. We are very experienced in matching stain colors and can make your new doors look like the old faces or get a completely new color to match other surrounding woodwork.
We do not believe in using the “woodtape” method to properly reface your cabinets. If you choose to reface and would like a brand new stained wood look, we apply solid wood strips over the existing faces of your cabinets.
Besides just getting new doors and drawer fronts, there are several options for you when you decide to keep your existing cabinets.
- Choose a new stain color for complete refacing
- Paint existing boxes with brand new doors
- Keep the original color on your new doors
- Modern drawer slides and concealed hinges
- New counter tops
- Add pull out shelving
In 1956, Robert J. and Kathryn Kaehny moved to West Bend and “Bob” started building cabinets in the outbuilding in their new backyard. Bob was a man of many skills and had a variety of work experience including valuable time served in the Army Air Corps during WWII. Before they moved to West Bend he was working as a carpenter for a home builder and they needed someone to make their cabinets.
At the time, Bob and Katie's already large family was still growing and they needed the steady work to put enough food on the table. Bob was the inventive type and actually designed some of his tools he used to make his Quality cabinets. In fact, his grandsons still use his doweling machine to this day!
Bob and Katie eventually had 7 children and all 6 of their boys spent time working in the shop at one point or another. In 1980 they sold the business to two of their sons, Jack and Bob. By this time there were 4 additions put on the original backyard building as the business had grown. Jack and Bob would soon add the final addition to Quality Cabinet Shop so that they had just the right amount of space to satisfy the community demand.
It was in 1990 that the third generation of Kaehnys began their craftsmen careers. Jack and Bob hired their eldest sons, John and Joe. There was lots of dirty work to be done for the teenaged John and Joe but they slowly learned the custom cabinet trade and are poised to take over the reigns and present their Quality cabinets to West Bend and the surrounding communities for many years to come.
