Refacing vs Replacement Cost
Refacing runs well under full replacement because the boxes stay in place. Full replacement makes sense when boxes are water-damaged or out of square. Request a free estimate and we'll tell you honestly which path fits your cabinets.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Door and hardware swap | $2,500–$5,000, | new fronts and hardware over existing boxes. |
| Full refacing package | $5,000–$9,000, | veneer refinish plus new doors and drawer fronts. |
| Full replacement | $15,000–$30,000+ | , new boxes throughout, typically needed when existing cabinets are structurally compromised. |
These are typical local ballparks — final cost depends on scope, materials, and site conditions. A free estimate gives you an accurate, itemized number for your home.

DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Cabinet Refacing And Refinishing
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Simple hardware swaps are reasonable for a confident DIYer | Proper veneer application requires surface prep most homeowners skip |
| Peel-and-stick veneer kits exist but rarely hold up past a couple years | A pro assesses whether boxes are actually square and solid before committing to refacing |
| — | Finish matching to existing kitchen trim takes experience to get right |

Is Refacing Right for You
Can you reface my cabinets instead of a full replacement? Usually, yes, if the boxes are square, dry, and structurally sound. We check for water damage, sagging, and squareness during the assessment before recommending refacing over replacement.
How do I know if my cabinets just need refinishing vs full replacement? If the boxes close properly and show no water staining or warping, refinishing or refacing is almost always the right call. Swollen particleboard or boxes that have pulled away from the wall usually mean replacement.
