Refreshing Your Kitchen Cabinets on a Budget
If your kitchen layout works well and your cabinet boxes are structurally sound, refacing represents a highly efficient alternative to demolition.
The Refacing Process
Refacing involves replacing only the cabinet doors and drawer fronts, while applying a matching veneer skin over the existing cabinet framework.
Cost Breakdown
- Refacing: Averages $4,000 to $9,000 for standard kitchens.
- Full Replacement: Averages $10,000 to $25,000+ depending on wood species and custom options.
- This leaves more budget available for countertop upgrades like quartz or premium granite.
