Cabinet Refinishing in Highland Park & University Park
and Kitchen Facelifts.
Cabinet refinishing & painting in the Park Cities
Huewerk refinishes traditional and custom cabinetry in Highland Park and University Park with a sprayed, factory-smooth finish, keeping the inset doors and millwork these homes are known for. For a new door style, a Kitchen Facelift adds custom-built doors. It starts with a free consultation in your home.
Park Cities
Kitchens in the Park Cities
The Park Cities were built mostly from the 1920s through the 1950s, in Tudor, Georgian, Colonial, and Spanish styles, and many lots have since been rebuilt with large new homes. A single street can hold an original 1930s kitchen, updated over the decades, and a custom kitchen only a few years old.
Older homes here tend to have traditional cabinetry: inset and raised-panel doors, detailed crown, and built-ins in libraries and butler's pantries, often under stained or glazed finishes. Newer homes usually have high-end custom cabinetry built to the same standard as the rest of the house.
Refinish or Kitchen Facelift?
In a traditional home, refinishing respects the architecture. The cabinetry and millwork stay; the finish changes, to a clean contemporary color or a subtle glaze that suits the house. Inset doors in particular are worth keeping: they're costly to build new, and they refinish beautifully.
In a newer home with a door style you've grown tired of, a Kitchen Facelift replaces the doors and drawer fronts with new ones built by our local cabinetmaker, and refinishes the boxes to match.
Not sure which? That's what the consultation is for. See how a Kitchen Facelift works, or read Paint or Replace for an honest comparison.

Working in your home
Park Cities homes sit close together on busy streets, so we keep a tidy footprint: equipment staged neatly, parking planned in advance, and the work area sealed off inside. Original floors, plaster, and millwork are covered and protected, with particular care where cabinetry meets trim that can't easily be replaced.

From the Park Cities homeowners
Should we keep our original inset cabinets?
Usually, if the boxes and doors are sound. Inset cabinetry is expensive to reproduce, and a sprayed finish makes it look crisp and current. If doors have warped or the layout no longer works, we'll tell you at the consultation.
Can you match a color from elsewhere in our home?
Yes. We can match any paint color, whether it's from a brand's fan deck, your designer's specification, or your existing trim, and you approve a sprayed sample door in your own light before work begins.
Do you refinish libraries and built-ins too?
Yes: libraries, butler's pantries, bars, vanities, and mudroom lockers, in the same finish as the kitchen or a coordinating one.
