Question 1

What's the difference between refacing and replacing cabinets?

Accepted Answer

Refacing keeps your existing cabinet boxes in place and replaces the doors, drawer fronts, veneer, and hardware — a full replacement tears out the boxes entirely.

Question 2

How long does cabinet refacing take?

Accepted Answer

Most refacing projects are done in about a week, since the boxes themselves stay in place and only the visible surfaces are being replaced.

Question 3

Does refacing work on older or nonstandard cabinets?

Accepted Answer

In most cases yes, as long as the boxes are structurally sound — we'll check the condition of your existing cabinets before recommending refacing over replacement.

Question 4

How much less does refacing cost compared to full replacement?

Accepted Answer

Refacing typically runs well below the cost of a full cabinet replacement, since you're not paying for entirely new boxes, plumbing changes, or full demolition.

Question 5

How much does cabinet refacing cost?

Accepted Answer

Cabinet refacing typically costs $4,000-$9,500, averaging around $6,750 for a full kitchen — roughly 50-78% less than a full cabinet replacement, which usually runs $30,000 and up for semi-custom or custom cabinetry. We'll confirm your number after checking the condition of your existing boxes.
