Kitchen Cabinet Refacing 101

Class is in session, and we are ready to give you all the information you need before booking a professional. Cabinet refacing is a great, cost-effective project for homeowners who wish to update their cabinets without purchasing brand-new cabinets.

Easily one of the fastest kitchen-remodel options, cabinet refacing will give your kitchen a major facelift within 3-5 days!

While refacing is a budget-friendly, time-sensitive option for kitchen remodels, not all homeowners are candidates. Before going through the trouble of booking a professional, be sure that your current cabinets are structurally sound. If your cabinets are in good shape, refacing will be a breeze; however, if your cabinets are broken or heavily weathered, you may need to consider a full replacement.

Average Costs for Cabinet Refacing

For an average 10-by-12 foot kitchen, a refacing professional can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 for laminate. If you want real wood veneer, expect to pay $2,500 to $6,000, according to houselogic.com. Have a larger kitchen? Costs can rise between $7,000 to $9,000 (or more) for a large project with high-quality wood veneer.

DIY or Contracted Help?

If you're thinking of remodeling your kitchen, the question of whether or not it's a DIY project most likely entered your mind. Deciding whether you need an expert installer or not, is largely based on your own personal knowledge and ability. While cabinet refacing is a project that can be done yourself, it is a tricky process if you've never done it before.
