Cabinet refacing cost
What cabinet refacing costs in Chicago
Refacing costs a lot less than new cabinets. The exact kitchen cabinet refacing cost depends on your kitchen, so the only honest price comes from a free in-home look.
Straight talk
Why we do not post one set price
No two kitchens are the same, so no single number could be fair to every home.
Some kitchens have ten doors and some have thirty. One homeowner wants simple white laminate, and the next wants solid wood with custom door shapes. A price posted online would be a guess, and a guess helps nobody. It could scare you off or set you up for a let down later.
Instead, we give every customer a clear written price after a free in-home visit. We count the doors and drawers, measure the space, and listen to what you want. Then you get a real number for refacing kitchen cupboards in your home, with nothing hidden.
The price drivers
What affects your cabinet refacing price
A handful of choices shape the final cost. Knowing them helps you plan before your quote.
How many doors and drawers
More doors and drawer fronts mean more materials and more labor. The count is the biggest single factor.
The size of the kitchen
A large kitchen with long runs of cabinets takes more skin material and more time than a small galley.
The material you pick
Laminate, thermofoil, and solid wood each sit at a different price. Wood usually costs the most.
The door style
A simple shaker or slab door costs less than a custom shape or a door with glass panels.
Hardware choices
New hinges, handles, knobs, and soft close upgrades add to the total based on what you choose.
Extras and repairs
Crown molding, end panels, glass doors, or small box repairs each add to the final price.
Where the savings come from
Why refacing costs less than new cabinets
A full set of new cabinets carries costs that refacing simply does not. You see the savings in the final bill and in the time the job takes.
- You keep the cabinet boxes, which are a large part of new cabinet cost
- There is no demolition labor to tear out the old boxes
- The job takes days, not the weeks a full remodel needs
- Floors, walls, and paint are rarely disturbed, so there are fewer repair bills
- Your kitchen stays usable, so you save on eating out

Questions and answers
Cabinet refacing cost questions
How much does cabinet refacing cost?
The price depends on your kitchen, so we do not post a set number. Every customer gets a clear written price after a free in-home visit, with no guesswork.
Is cabinet refacing cheaper than buying new cabinets?
Yes. Refacing reuses your cabinet boxes and skips demolition, so it costs much less than a full set of new cabinets while still giving your kitchen a fresh look.
What makes one refacing quote higher than another?
The number of doors and drawers, the material, the door style, the hardware, and extras such as glass doors or crown molding all change the cabinet refacing price.
Do you charge for the quote?
No. The in-home quote is free. We measure your kitchen, answer your questions, and give you a written price with no pressure to buy.
Why do you not list prices on the website?
Every kitchen has a different number of doors, a different size, and a different material choice. A price posted online would only be a guess. A free visit gives you a real number for your home.
