01the possibilities
Give your cabinets a fresh look without replacing them
Often, cabinets that look dated are structurally still sound. Many Tallahassee homes were built with cabinet boxes that are in good shape behind doors that look forty years old, which makes them ideal for refacing rather than a full teardown. Another common request is a simple modification, a cabinet cut down to take a new oven, or a drawer added where there was a fixed panel, which is work we have done for customers who reviewed us for exactly that.
Not every kitchen needs new cabinets. If the boxes are solid and the layout works, refacing gives you a new-looking kitchen for a fraction of a replacement, with new doors and drawer fronts, new veneer on the boxes and new hardware. Where something is broken rather than dated we repair it instead. That might be drawer boxes that have come apart, doors that will not sit flush, worn slides and hinges, or a run cut down and rebuilt to take a new appliance.

Our Cabinet Repair and Refacing Process
-
Dated or broken
Send the form or call and tell Amanda whether the cabinets look dated or something is broken. We get back to you within 24 hours.
-
Repair, reface or replace
Kevin looks at the boxes and the layout in person. If the boxes are solid and the layout works, refacing is usually the answer, and when they are not, he tells you. Then he sends a detailed estimate.
-
New fronts on sound boxes
Kevin and Lil Kevin fit the new doors, drawer fronts, veneer and hardware, or repair what is broken, from drawer boxes and slides to hinges and doors that will not sit flush.
-
Walk it together
We go through every door and drawer with you before we call the job done.
Cabinet Repair and Refacing Pricing in Tallahassee
Every job is different. We offer free, no-obligation estimates so you know the price before any work starts.
03 no surprises
A change order you approved is not a surprise
Older homes turn up the most, but even a newer one can hide something nobody could see at the estimate. That possibility is written into our estimates and proposals, and you sign it before anything starts. So when something does come up, the work stops, Kevin walks you through it, and it becomes a change order you approve, rather than something you find out about afterwards.
- it was disclosed before you signed
- the work stops
- Kevin talks it through with you
- you approve the change order
You decide before it goes ahead
They gave us a detailed quote and kept us informed every step of the way. There were no surprises from them for hidden costs or additional fees. Everything was extremely transparent.

★★★★★
Lumber Lunatics did a great job repairing our cabinets. We had an upper cabinet that was pulling away from the wall and beginning to tilt, and I was worried it might eventually come down. They fixed the problem and did a very thorough job.
-
★★★★★
They installed our new oven and microwave which required some cabinetry work, including adding a drawer.

It is clear that Kevin knows what he is doing. It is great to also see a father working with his son to teach him the trade!

Cabinet Repair and Refacing Questions, Answered
General
Can my cabinets be refaced instead of replaced?
Often, yes. A lot of homes have cabinet boxes that are still perfectly sound behind doors that look forty years old, and that is the ideal refacing job rather than a teardown.
Can you modify a cabinet to fit a new appliance?
Yes. Cutting a cabinet down to take a new oven, or adding a drawer where there was a fixed panel, is common work, and it is a lot cheaper than replacing the run.
Does the owner actually do the work?
Yes. Kevin is on every job. His son Lil Kevin works alongside him, and the person who prices your project is the person who builds it. There is no sales rep handing your job to a crew you have never met.
How big is your crew?
Three of us, and that is the whole company. Kevin and his son Lil Kevin are the two on site, and Amanda handles every call and inquiry. The two of them get through what a crew of four would.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
No, Lumber Lunatics works on homes rather than commercial buildings.
Pricing
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Kevin comes out and looks at the job with you and talks through the options. He does not price it on the spot, because materials and labor have to be worked out properly, so the detailed estimate comes to you afterwards. There is no charge and no obligation.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, check, zelle, and credit cards.
Trust
Is there a warranty on your work?
Yes. We provide a workmanship warranty on every project, with the specific terms spelled out in your written proposal before the work begins.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical work?
If your project needs major plumbing or electrical work, Kevin will tell you so and recommend you bring in a licensed plumber or electrician. He is not licensed for that work and he is not going to pretend otherwise. You will hear that at the estimate, not halfway through the job.
Are you insured?
Yes, Lumber Lunatics is insured on every project.
How far out are you booking?
Scheduling varies based on the scope of your project and our current workload. We will provide our current availability when we discuss your project.
Service Area
What areas do you serve?
Tallahassee and the surrounding Big Bend area, roughly an hour out. That includes Crawfordville, Quincy, Havana, Monticello, Midway, Blountstown, and Sneads. If you are near the edge of that, just ask.
