Build your budget
Five things move the number
Start with the size of the job. Then choose the details that matter to you.
The biggest factor
Count the cabinets,
not the square feet
The number of doors, drawer fronts, and exposed surfaces drives the work. A kitchen with 14 doors is a different project from one with 40.
14doors
40doors
Door detail
Simple profiles take less machining. Mitered joints, raised panels, and ornate details add material and shop time. Refacing uses standard 1/2-inch overlay.
Paint, stain & finish
A single paint or stain is the baseline. Glazes, distressing, and hand detailing add finishing time.
The extras you choose
Soft-close door hinges come standard. Optional drawer upgrades, pull-outs, and trim shape how your kitchen works and the final price.
The new surface goes on.
Where savings come from
Spend on the parts you see
The doors, wood, and finish are the same as a custom build. The savings are behind them.
Keep sound cabinet boxes
Your investment goes into new doors, wood surfaces, and finish.
Skip the full tear-out
Avoid rebuilding the cabinet structure, plus the hauling and disposal that come with it.
Preserve what still works
Countertops, backsplash, and flooring can stay in place.
Compare more than the price
A lower quote can mean different work
Surface material, thickness, and finishing methods change what you're paying for. Put those details side by side.

Real wood refacing

Ask whether another quote specifies real wood, laminate, vinyl film, or a thin veneer. Then compare what's included in the finished job.
A good question to ask
“What is the surface material, and how thick is it?”

Helpful answers
A few more cost questions
How much does cabinet refacing cost?
Most Kansas City metro kitchens run between $18,000 and $30,000. Your door and drawer count, exposed surfaces, wood species, style, and finish determine your project price.
Is refacing cheaper than new cabinets?
Generally, yes. You keep sound cabinet boxes and avoid the demolition and disposal of a full tear-out. The difference depends on your kitchen and selections.
What's the most budget-friendly combination?
Red oak, a Shaker door, and one stain without glazing or hand detailing. It still uses quarter-inch real wood with a post-catalyzed conversion varnish topcoat.
Does the door style change the price?
Yes. Simple slab doors need less machining than mitered doors with raised panels and ornate details. Your designer can help you compare the options.
Can I finance it?
Financing is available through a third-party lending partner. The lender sets the terms and makes the approval decision.
Can I get a firm price over the phone?
We can discuss your project and a starting range by phone. A firm quote comes after counting doors and drawer fronts, measuring surfaces, and confirming your selections.
What's included in the quote?
You get one price for the finished refacing project, including installation and delivery. Countertops are separate, and you can buy them from the supplier you choose.
