Long Beach, NY Kitchen Transformation: Refacing Plus Creates a Brighter, More Functional Space
After 36 years in the same home, these Long Beach homeowners were ready to refresh a kitchen that no longer reflected their style or supported their everyday needs. While the layout still worked well, the cabinets and finishes felt dated, and they wanted a brighter, more functional space that would allow them to comfortably enjoy their home for years to come.
They turned to Kitchen Tune-Up Long Beach, owned by Jorge Valencia, to explore kitchen solutions that would deliver lasting value with minimal disruption.
Finding the Right Solution
The homeowners first discovered Kitchen Tune-Up through Facebook and initially thought cabinet painting would be the right choice for their kitchen upgrade.
During their in-home consultation, they explored several options and ultimately selected cabinet Refacing Plus. Cabinet refacing provided a more durable, longer-lasting solution while also allowing them to completely change the cabinet door style. With Refacing Plus, they were also able to incorporate functional improvements that enhanced the way the kitchen worked every day.

Designed Around Their Lifestyle
Every design decision focused on creating a kitchen that felt brighter, more welcoming, and easier to use.
One of the defining features of the project was a beautiful two-tone cabinet design featuring a soft sage color paired with lighter cabinetry to keep the space feeling open and inviting. An accent wall added warmth and personality while giving the kitchen a custom, designer-inspired appearance.
Beyond aesthetics, functionality played an equally important role.
The project included:
- Refaced cabinets with a modern door style
- A custom two-tone cabinet design
- A pull-out trash cabinet
- Existing shelves converted into rollout trays for improved accessibility
- Additional countertop preparation space
- A dedicated coffee station
- New countertops and backsplash
- A new sink and faucet
These thoughtful upgrades helped create a kitchen that better supports everyday living while reflecting the homeowners' personal style.
Functionality That Makes Everyday Life Easier
One of the goals of the project was to improve accessibility and convenience without changing the overall footprint of the kitchen.
Small layout modifications created additional countertop workspace while making room for a dedicated coffee station. Rollout shelving and pull-out storage made frequently used items easier to reach, supporting both organization and aging in place.
The result is a kitchen that not only looks beautiful but also functions more efficiently every day.
An Efficient Transformation
Another major benefit of the project was how quickly everything came together.
The entire kitchen transformation was completed in approximately one week, allowing the homeowners to enjoy their updated space with minimal disruption to their daily routine.
A Collaborative Design Experience
Throughout the project, the Kitchen Tune-Up Long Beach, NY team worked closely with the homeowners to create a kitchen that balanced beauty, durability, and functionality.
Together, they selected finishes, coordinated colors, incorporated the homeowner's favorite sage tone, updated the cabinetry with a modern door style, and added practical storage solutions that enhanced both organization and convenience.
Every detail was chosen with the homeowners' goals and lifestyle in mind.
The Results
Today, the kitchen feels brighter, more modern, and significantly more functional than before.
The updated cabinetry, improved storage, expanded workspace, and durable finishes have transformed a once-dated kitchen into a welcoming space designed to serve the homeowners for many years to come.
By choosing Refacing Plus, they were able to preserve the kitchen layout they already loved while making meaningful improvements that enhanced both the appearance and functionality of their home.
