Cabinet Refacing in Fort Myers
We serve Fort Myers homeowners who want a different look for a kitchen that still works well. Balance Construction replaces cabinet fronts and updates exposed surfaces through refacing, with the existing layout and suitable cabinet boxes staying in place.
Our business is based in Cape Coral, and consultations take place at the project. Owner Walter Martinez has led Balance Construction since 2005. Tell us what you’d like to change and we’ll arrange a visit to assess the kitchen.

Decide whether the problem is appearance or layout
We explain those choices at the consultation. Our service overview also compares refacing, new kitchen cabinets, built-ins and finish carpentry.
Option one
Update the look
A finish you no longer like doesn’t necessarily mean the cabinets need to come out. Refacing changes what you see and touch while preserving the arrangement.
That makes it worth considering when the working space, cabinet positions and storage already suit you.
Option two
Rethink the arrangement
Replacement deserves a closer look when the layout itself is frustrating, the boxes are unsuitable or you need a different cabinet arrangement.
We set out the scope for your kitchen so the difference between the two routes is clear before anything is ordered.

Plan the visit around access to your home
When requesting your Fort Myers appointment, include the project address and any access arrangements we should know about. A short list of what works and what doesn’t is useful.
- The project address and entry instructions
- For a managed building: service parking and any building contact who needs to coordinate a visit
- Which appliances and counters you’re keeping
- Damaged surfaces you want assessed
- A few examples of door styles you like
We can then concentrate on choices that fit your actual room instead of starting with a complete redesign.
Send project photos with your request
The contact form accepts project photos. Include a full-room view and close-ups of the surfaces or storage issues you want us to assess.
Check the address before researching project requirements
The City of Fort Myers building-permitting page provides an “Am I in the City?” resource, along with the city’s permit contacts. Use the project address when checking jurisdiction rather than relying on the place name alone.
Fort Myers also uses an EnerGov portal for permit applications and status checks. If you’re coordinating cabinetry with other work, keep each part of the scope clear and confirm applicable requirements with the responsible office. Contractor licensing information is available through Florida DBPR.
Planning a Fort Myers cabinet update
Do I need to choose a door style before the consultation?
No. Start with the overall look you want and which existing finishes will remain. We can discuss door profiles, color and hardware after reviewing the space.
Does refacing move cabinets or appliances?
Refacing keeps the cabinet footprint. If your plan depends on a different arrangement, let us know at the outset so we can discuss the appropriate cabinetry scope.
Can I send photographs first?
Yes. The contact form accepts project photos. Include a full-room view and close-ups of the surfaces or storage issues you want us to assess.
