Absolutely Amazing, and better result than I expected. I liked the footprint of my kitchen as well as the granite, so it made sense to look at re-facing. I met with Dan several times, and settled on a color, style and glass for several of the cabinet doors. His team was amazing! They were here on time, cleaned up every evening so that I could still use the kitchen, and they were respectful of my time as I work from home. "Better Than New Kitchens" is the perfect name for this company!

After living in our home since 2006, I am finally happy when I walk into my kitchen. Thank you Better Than New Kitchens! Dan had wonderful enthusiasm from our first contact and his team followed through with absolute perfection. Our home was built in 1978 and our kitchen cabinets were lacking in character and beauty. We've done a bunch of DIY on the house but knew the cabinets were beyond our abilities. Our home gently embraces the AZ Southwest decor, and Dan took plenty of time going over samples to help us reach a look that not only appealed to us but would be appreciated down the road. This was a substantial investment for us and we're so happy that we went with refacing, as our cabinets were solid, so we were able to salvage those along with our previously updated countertops and backsplash. Be prepared for personal attention from the get go and precision from that point on. The remodel industry is really rolling at this time so our installation date was about 90 days from when we initially met. We were actually happy about this as it gave us time to review our cabinet contents, do some painting, and install a couple pullouts. The team arrived as scheduled. They were totally professional and did a beautiful job. No hiccups. Finished early. Great demeanor throughout. Erick, George, and Jill were a real pleasure to have in our home. Dan came by after his team left just to QC and take some photos. His enthusiasm for his work never waivers! I highly recommend this small Arizona business with a great big work ethic. Thank you BTN Kitchens!

Better Than New Kitchens gave my home a major facelift! My house was flipped in 2016 but unfortunately for me, they selected ugly, cheap cabinets. We liked the lay-out of our kitchen, the appliances and granite, so we were reluctant to tear it all out. After a lot of online research, I found Dan & his company. I'm willing to bet Dan is the the most knowledgable guy on cabinetry in Arizona (he literally had a HGTV show on cabinet & furniture refinishing!). Dan is so nice and he can talk forever about wood, cabinets, kitchens, etc. I am very picky and particular, and he helped us achieve our vision and style with ease. We refaced all our cabinets and bought new drawers. We have a large home so it was not cheap, but I have zero regrets. It's an investment. His install team was so professional, polite, efficient, and clean. Dan is a man of his word and will make sure your project is perfect! I cannot rave enough; they deserve 10 stars!

We loved Dan and his crew! We stressed to Dan that we were very eager to start our project. Sooner we start, the sooner we'd be done! After the console he was very helpful with getting our project underway. After all the parts were made and custom paint color was mixed, they were ready to install. He said it would take them 2.5 business days to complete the install and they were done in 2! The crew came in, set up shop, use their time wisely, and were very professional! We love our kitchen so much! Would definitely recommend Better Than New to anyone looking to improve their kitchen! Thanks Dan, Eric and the rest of the crew!!

Before

My home's circa-1999 kitchen and bath cabinets were hammered: builders-grade materials, poorly taken care of by previous owners. Somehow the interior boxes had escaped abuse and were in good shape, so I decided to reface. I searched hard for a company I could trust. Online and through friends--most of whom had had bad experiences with cabinet work of their own. They described delays, wrong materials--complete frustration. One said, "I just wanted it to be over." Great confidence builders... By the time I found Better Than New Kitchens, I had become very skeptical. Dan O., the owner, came to my house, confirmed that refacing was the way to go, and gave me a preliminary estimate--along with a referral list of 32 recent clients. 32 references--who does that!?! So I started making calls. After talking to 7 customers in a row who couldn't say enough about BTN's work, I hired them. Dan and Erick, the crew chief, came and measured, did drawings and formalized the estimate. We scheduled for 8 weeks out (they're that busy). The work was estimated to take 3, maybe 4 days (they finished in 2). They said the crew of 4 would be dedicated to my job only. (They were. There IS only one crew, and nobody skips out to go to another job.) They told me there would be minimal clean-up. In fact, I was told I could leave most everything in the cabinets. WHAT??? I've had nightmare clean-ups before with dust and debris everywhere, but they told the truth. I cleared about 3 inches of space at the front of each cabinet and didn't live to regret it. The craftsmanship and materials are beautiful. The hardware is top-of-the-line. You can find less expensive companies out there, but for me, with BTN, the age-old adage was true - I got what I paid for. If you're looking to reface your cabinets, I highly recommend Better Than New Kitchens.

We had our kitchen refaced by Better Than New Kitchens and are very pleased with the results. Our house was built in 2001 and kitchen cabinets were natural oak. I didn't realize how dated and awful they looked until Dan and his team of professionals did their magic. Dan runs a meticulous business and I knew exactly what to expect and when to expect it. We also opted for drawer replacements and can't emphasize enough how awesome they are. If you want a whole new kitchen look for way cheaper than replacement, Better Than New Kitchens is the answer!

Decided it was time to get 1995 out of our kitchen. Not wanting to do a complete demo of our kitchen and bar area as the cabinets were in pretty good shape, we decided to do a cabinet reface with Dan's company. Dan has lots of door and drawer styles to choose from and a huge selection of colors to pick from also. Dan and his whole team knocked it out of the park. Quality of materials and workmanship is top notch. Drawers are nice with dove tail construction. Everyone that was in our home was respectful of our home and cleaned up throughout the project and at the end of each day. Dan's pricing is more than fair. Give Better Than New Kitchens a call, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent job, we are very happy with the results. Dan and his team are very professional. Dan is an expert and was able to guide us through the decision making process - paint, reface or replace. We chose to reface over 100 cabinets and the results are amazing. The job was started and completed on time. The price was comparable to others in the market and was fair. Dan was always present or available to address the minimal concerns that came up during the job. His crew were punctual, professional, and respectful of our home. I couldn't recommend them any stronger!

We liked the layout of our 30 year old kitchen, but the cabinet doors and drawers were warped, had been painted once, and just looked, well, distasteful. I'm not sure what good fortune led us to look at Better Than New Kitchens, but when I emailed Dan with an inquiry, a superlative journey began, a transformation, that has led to a kitchen so much improved that I am literally a bit astonished when I look at it in the morning light every day. EVERY aspect of this company exudes professionalism, good taste, responsiveness, and quality. Before anyone spends a penny on trying to upgrade their kitchen, they would be crazy if they do not contact Dan Oldejans and discuss what his company can do to help. I assure you that Dan has the experience to help you avoid making a major mistake in the planning of your upgrade as well as some ideas that you may not have thought of or even knew could be done. And you will get a thorough contract that describes exactly and completely what will (and will not) be done. The committed installation date was hit exactly. And the installation was amazing. In three days the crew was done, the house was clean and the only sign they had been here was the beautiful new kitchen. We were even able to use the kitchen to prepare breakfast and dinner both nights while the kitchen transformation was being performed! This company is aptly named. With new hardware that opens and closes the doors and drawers, new and beautiful doors and drawers and facings and trim and kick plates and mouldings and hardware, our kitchen is "Better than New".

Cabinetry after!
Sara H.

Thrilled with the results of my kitchen cabinets. My cabinets went from dull and brown to beautiful and high-end. Dan is a perfectionist with an eye for detail and has an incredible crew of craftsman working for him. I highly recommend Better Than New. Professional, alway on time, and wonderful folks to work with.

Brand new upper cabinets and shaker style doors

Amazing! The crew showed up in masks everyday on time. The kitchen remodel was super fast and looks absolutely gorgeous!! Highly recommend Better than new kitchens.

Guest Bathroom with refaced cabinets.  What a difference!
Janet S.

Better than New Kitchens did a great job refacing our master bath and guest bath cabinets along with our laundry room cabinets. Dan and his team did it with professionalism, pride and on time. It was a pleasure working with Dan from beginning to end.

Dan and his crew did a fantastic job on my kitchen-the craftsmanship is perfect! I had some reservations about the refacing concept but Dan assured me that when my kitchen was finished i would be very satisfied with the results. What an understatement-I was thrilled and have received many complements on the quality of his work. If you are hesitant about refacing v replacement you can feel very comfortable working with Dan and his team. They are efficient and clean and the process is virtually painless- I can't recommend them highly enough!

See all

This was the second time Sir Grout has brought our slate floors back to life but we also asked if…read morethere was anything that could be done with our master bath ceramic floor tile that I was sure needed replaced. When they had finished with the flooring it looked and felt better than install which says a little about the install but much more about the level of detail and performance by Sir Grout. Lastly, and this is even more rare than getting the service you feel like you paid for, is that Sir Grout has employees that were with the company 10 years ago when we first used them. That tells me a lot about ownership and we really appreciate the efforts of Zach and Juan to make sure our floors were perfect. Highly recommended.

I have a new build home and wanted to seal the grout in my tile. Sir Grout (who I found via Yelp…read morebut is featured in the East Valley 2026 Best Pick guide for home services!) sent someone out to my home for an in-person consultation. This person educated me on the different products and services that could potentially fill my need, and we discussed my lifestyle/living habits to determine which would suit me best. He even performed a live demo of the product we chose, and that settled it. The pricing was very competitive - literally within a couple hundred dollars of the competitor quotes I gathered - and they were able to get me on the schedule within a week's time of signing the quote. Someone came to the home, arriving right one time and working quite quickly. They sealed the grout in my entire house in less than one workday's time, and explained we can walk on it after just 24 hours. Best of all (for me) they supplied us with their proprietary cleaning solution, and they do provide "touch-ups" for the sealing, which means that as years pass and high-traffic areas wear out, I won't have to pay to have the entire house redone.
