Cabinet refacing
When the layout works and the boxes are solid, refacing gets you a new kitchen in about two weeks for roughly a third of the cost of replacement.
- From $14,500
- 8 to 12 days on site
- Fixed price at contract
Is this the right scope for your kitchen?
Refacing replaces every door and drawer front, wraps the exposed cabinet faces and ends in matching veneer, and swaps the hardware. The boxes, the layout and the plumbing stay exactly where they are.
We will not reface a kitchen that should not be refaced. Particleboard boxes with swollen bottoms, cabinets that have shifted off level, or a layout with a real workflow problem all get an honest no and a different proposal.
Done properly, the result is indistinguishable from new cabinetry at the door line. We spray finish the doors at the shop, so you get a factory-grade surface rather than brush marks in your kitchen.
Everything in the line item, spelled out
If it is not on this list it is not in the price, and we will say so before you sign rather than after.
Box inspection
Every carcass checked for level, square, water damage and shelf sag before we quote a single door.
New doors and drawer fronts
Built in your chosen species and profile, sprayed and cured at the shop.
Matching veneer skins
Face frames, cabinet ends and toe kicks wrapped in veneer that matches the doors, including grain direction.
New drawer boxes (optional)
Dovetailed maple boxes on undermount soft-close slides, sized to your existing openings.
Hardware and hinges
New soft-close hinges throughout, plus the pulls and knobs you select.
Crown, light rail and trim
Fresh molding so the new doors do not sit against old profiles.
From first conversation to final walkthrough
Box assessment
We open every door, check every bottom and tell you whether refacing is honest value here.
Door selection
Profile, species, finish and hardware chosen from full-size samples.
Template and order
Every opening measured individually. Shop build runs about 4 weeks.
Install
Old doors off, veneer on, new doors hung and adjusted. Most kitchens are back in service each evening.
Alignment pass
We return after two weeks to fine-tune every hinge once the doors have settled.
What you get out of it
- Roughly a third of the cost of full cabinet replacement
- Kitchen stays usable most evenings during the work
- No demolition, no drywall repair, no new flooring seams
- Sound boxes stay out of the landfill
- Same door styles and finishes as our custom cabinetry
What moves the number, in order
Cabinetry and stone are predictable. These are the variables that actually change a budget.
See financingNumber of openings
We price by door and drawer count, not by linear foot. A 22-door kitchen costs less than a 34-door kitchen of the same length.
Species and profile
Paint-grade maple Shaker is the value option. Rift white oak slab doors carry a material premium.
New drawer boxes
Adding dovetailed boxes and undermount slides is the single best upgrade inside a reface.
Interior upgrades
Roll-out trays, a pull-out trash cabinet and drawer dividers can be added during the same visit.

About cabinet refacing
Answers from the questions we get asked most at the sample bench.
Open a lower cabinet and press the bottom panel. If it flexes or shows a dark swollen edge, the box is particleboard that has taken on water. Plywood boxes with clean, square face frames are good candidates.
Yes. Veneer and doors are finished together at the shop, so a dark oak kitchen can become a soft white or a deep green with no trace of the old color.
Commonly yes. We build matching new boxes for a pantry or an appliance garage and finish them with the same run of doors.
No. Painting leaves the original doors, their profiles and their wear. Refacing replaces the doors entirely and rewraps the visible carcass, which is why it holds up.
Bring a photo of your kitchen. Leave with a real number.
Ninety minutes, no charge, no obligation. Door samples go home with you the same day.
