We make
our own
cabinet doors.
No middlemen. No markup. No compromises. Solid ¼″ real wood, Wisconsin-milled, installed by R3 employees in Chicago and 52 suburbs.
Find the right path for your kitchen.
R3 is the only company in the Chicago market that offers all three. On every consultation, we recommend the service that makes sense for your specific kitchen even when it earns us less.
01
Refacing
Solid ¼″ real wood applied to your existing cabinet boxes. New doors, new drawer fronts, new face frames the boxes stay, everything visible is replaced. Manufacturer-direct pricing.
02
Refinishing
When your original cabinets are worth keeping, R3’s spray shop strips, preps, and refinishes to a factory-quality finish. Preserves original craftsmanship at meaningfully lower cost.
03
Repainting
Any color from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr, Ralph Lauren, or Farrow & Ball matched and applied in R3’s factory spray shop. Superior to any on-site paint job.
The manufacturer story. From standing tree to finished door.
Every other cabinet refacing company in this market is a retailer or a franchisee. They order doors from a third-party supplier, mark them up, and install them. R3 is different — we own the land, operate the sawmill, fabricate the doors, and employ every installer. One company. One warranty. One timeline.
See the full R3 story →100+ acres of timberland. White Oak, Walnut, and Hard Maple milled on-site from storm-damaged trees. No wholesale distributor. No middleman markup.
Never veneer. Never peel-and-stick laminate. Never thermofoil. R3 refacing uses real hardwood that will not bubble, peel, or fail — and can be refinished decades from now.
Blum soft-close hinges and undermount drawer slides come standard on every project — lifetime warranty. Dovetail solid hardwood drawer boxes. No particle board anywhere.
Every installer who steps into your home is on the R3 payroll. No subcontractors. No franchisees. No installer-network roulette. One company accountable for everything.

We spoke with three companies before choosing R3. The difference was obvious — they actually manufacture everything themselves. No middlemen, no confusion. The quality of the wood and finish is on another level.
I was worried about durability, but the solid wood doors feel incredibly strong. No peeling, no cheap materials. This feels like a real upgrade, not just a cosmetic change.
The process was smooth from start to finish. We could actually see and choose real materials before committing. That level of transparency is rare.
The installers were professional, clean, and clearly experienced. Knowing they were R3 employees — not subcontractors — made a huge difference. Everything was done exactly as promised.
