See how cabinet refacing can completely change the look of a kitchen while keeping the existing cabinet layout in place
Cabinet refacing is a kitchen upgrade that transforms the look of your cabinets while keeping the existing cabinet structure in place. We replace your cabinet doors and drawer fronts, apply new finishes to exposed cabinet surfaces, and install updated hardware and accessories.
Cabinet refacing typically includes:
If your kitchen layout works but the style does not, refacing is often the most efficient solution.
When updating your kitchen cabinets, you may be comparing cabinet refacing, cabinet painting, cabinet refinishing, and full cabinet replacement. Each option can improve your kitchen, but they are not the same level of update.
Painting and refinishing can refresh existing cabinet surfaces, but they do not replace worn doors, change the cabinet style, or create the same level of transformation as refacing. Cabinet replacement offers the most flexibility, but it usually involves more cost, demolition, and disruption. Cabinet refacing gives many homeowners the best middle ground: a dramatically updated kitchen while keeping the existing cabinet boxes and layout in place.

Cabinet refacing projects typically range from $10,000 to $45,000+, depending on the size of the kitchen, materials, countertops, design selections, and additional upgrades.
Smaller, more straightforward projects generally range from $10,000 to $16,000. Mid-range projects with upgraded finishes, hardware, quartz countertops, or storage accessories often fall between $16,000 and $30,000.
Larger projects involving stone or quartz countertops, tile backsplash, island updates, custom storage, kitchen hoods, lighting, pantry modifications, or added cabinetry may range from $30,000 to $45,000 or more. Premium projects with extensive custom details and higher-end material selections can exceed $45,000.

More doors, drawers, and cabinet runs typically increase labor and material needs. L-shaped kitchens usually cost less than large U-shaped layouts or kitchens with multiple tall cabinets.
New soft close hinges, pulls, and interior options change the budget fast. Add-ons like rollout trays, trash pull-outs, crown molding, or under-cabinet lighting can also be included.
Genuine wood, shaker, raised panel, slab, and custom profiles price differently. Specialty details like glass inserts, decorative end panels, or custom designer doors can add to the total.
Materials and finishes influence cost. Laminates, 3DL, MDF, solid wood, painted finishes, stains, glazes, and specialty treatments vary in price, appearance, durability, and maintenance needs.
