Meet Slim Shaker
Hi, I’m Slim Shaker.
I’m here to make cabinets simple again. You’ve probably noticed that Shaker doors are everywhere — and for good reason.
They’re clean, timeless, and they can completely refresh your kitchen without the chaos (or cost) of ripping everything out.
Problem is, most people either don't know where to start, or they get a contractor quote and walk away in shock.
That's where I come in. Check out my Frequently asked questions section.
What Is a Shaker Cabinet Door, Anyway?
A Shaker cabinet door is one of the most popular and recognizable styles of cabinet design. It’s defined by its simple, clean lines:
A flat center panel
Surrounded by a square frame (usually 2–3 inches wide)
With no ornate details or curves
This minimalist style originated with the Shaker communities in the 1700s, who valued craftsmanship, function, and simplicity. Today, Shaker doors remain America’s top choice because they fit seamlessly into modern, farmhouse, and traditional kitchens alike.
Why Shaker Cabinet Doors Are the Most Popular Choice in America
Shaker cabinet doors have stood the test of time because they blend simplicity, versatility, and timeless design. Whether you’re refreshing a kitchen or refacing cabinets, Shaker doors continue to dominate for good reasons:
Timeless design — clean lines and simple frames that never go out of style.
Fits any color palette — from crisp whites to bold modern hues, Shaker doors look great in every shade.
Works with any home style — perfect for traditional, farmhouse, or modern kitchens alike.
Affordable transformation — refacing with Shaker doors makes cabinets look brand new without a full remodel.
Endless customization — choose frame widths, finishes, and colors to match your taste.

What Is Cabinet Refacing?
We’re here to help you with cabinet refacing. While we used to be a full cabinet manufacturer, we no longer build complete cabinet boxes. Today, we focus exclusively on refacing with high-quality Shaker-style doors and drawers — in a few clean, timeless variations that continue to be the most popular choice for kitchens across America.
When it comes to remodeling your kitchen, you really have three main choices:
Brand New Cabinets — Tear everything out and start fresh with completely new cabinets. This gives you a new layout and look, but it’s the most expensive option and often requires replacing countertops and sometimes even flooring.
Cabinet Painting — Keep your old cabinets and simply change the color with paint. While this is the cheapest option, it doesn’t change the style of your doors, and you’re still left with your old cabinet boxes.
Cabinet Refacing — The smart middle ground. You keep your existing cabinet boxes (and usually your countertops), but replace the doors and drawer fronts with brand-new ones in a new style. At the same time, you can paint the exposed cabinet boxes to match, giving your kitchen the look of a complete cabinet makeover at a fraction of the cost.
Refacing your kitchen doesn’t always mean hiring a full crew. If you’re the kind of person who likes to roll up your sleeves, we’ve got a program designed just for you.
Here’s how it works:
You paint your own cabinet boxes. We send you the exact Professional Cabinet Finisher kit that you need. No guess work. Use our proprietary system that we developed over the last 15 years and tried and proved on over 2000 jobs. Get the exact color you choose — the product flows smoothly, levels out beautifully, and makes DIY painting simple (even for beginners).
We supply the doors and drawers and soft closing hinges.
Order professionally finished shaker doors and drawers in your chosen style and color. They’ll be delivered ready to install.
You handle the installation. With our instructions and a little patience, you’ll have a brand-new kitchen look — without the price tag of a full remodel.
By doing some of the work yourself, you can save thousands of dollars while still getting the fresh, custom look you’ve always wanted.
📌 Pro Tip: The DIY route is easier than you think!
With the right paint and pre-finished shaker doors, most homeowners are shocked at how quickly their kitchen transforms. You’ll love the results — and your wallet will too.
We provide complete written instructions and video tutorials so you can do it yourself with confidence
Save Thousands with Our DIY Cabinet Refacing Program
Why Painted Shaker Doors and Refacing Are the Smart Choice
When homeowners want to update their kitchen, they usually think of two options: painting the old cabinets or replacing everything. But both come with big drawbacks: painting only changes the color (not the style), and full replacement can cost tens of thousands while creating a construction mess.
That’s where cabinet refacing with painted Shaker doors comes in — the best of both worlds:
Fresh new style — You’re not stuck with your old door shape. Shaker doors instantly modernize and refresh the look.
Durable painted finish — Unlike DIY paint jobs, professionally painted Shaker doors arrive smooth and factory-perfect.
Keeps your countertops — Most homeowners keep their existing counters, saving thousands by avoiding demolition.
No major tear-out — Refacing replaces just the doors and fronts, not the cabinet boxes, so there’s less mess and disruption.
Far less expensive — You get the look of brand-new cabinets without the high cost of full replacement.
Faster turnaround — Most refacing projects can be completed in days, not weeks.
Refacing with painted Shaker doors is the sweet spot: a brand-new look, smart use of your existing structure, and a timeless style that adds value to your home.
