What Is the Average Cost for Cabinet Refacing?

October 28, 2022

Cabinet refacing is the process of removing doors and drawer fronts and applying a new veneer over the existing hard structure of your cabinets. Other parts like the hinges, handles, and drawer pulls can be reused if they are in good condition. Or, if you are feeling like it, you can replace them too, giving your cabinets a fresh and modern look.

The price for refacing cabinets depends on four things. Let's check them out so you can evaluate costs and choose the option that fits your budget.

Factors That Influence Cabinet Refacing Costs

According to Angi (Previously Angie's List), "the average cost to reface a cabinet is $7,133." They also show a high-end value of $15,000 and a low-end value of $1,300. Coming close to the high or low-end value amount depends on the following:

• Kitchen or Bathroom Size
  The size and the number of cabinets make this kind of project cost more or less. If you think of linear footage, you'll probably spend around $8,000 or more for 30 linear feet of cabinets. Of course, depending on the next aspect, this amount can be a little lower or a lot higher.


• Materials
  Different materials for refacing your cabinets come with different price tags. These are also more expensive if your contractor has to buy them from someone else. After all, most cabinet refacing companies are not manufacturer-direct businesses. Here's a list of some of the materials used for refacing and how much they cost for an average-sized full kitchen.
  
  
  • Wood Veneer: Depending on your bathroom or kitchen size, wood veneer cabinet doors can cost anywhere from $2,500 to $6,000.
  
  
  • Solid Wood and Plywood: Cabinets from this material usually cost between $5,000 and $10,000.
  
  
  • Plastic Laminate and Rigid Thermofoil Laminate: You can get great cabinets refaced with laminate at a budget-friendly price that ranges from $1,000 to $3,000.
  
  A linear foot of laminate costs an average cost of $91, compared to $193 for high-quality veneer and $454 for real wood veneer. But if you think these prices are high, just keep in mind that new cabinets range from $100 to $500 per linear foot. And more often than not, it's a lot higher. Not to mention that most companies take up to 12 weeks to make them.


• Geographic Location
  The cost of cabinet refacing also changes depending on your area because labor costs and materials vary from city to city. Here are a few cities across the U.S. with an average of how much cabinet refacing costs in them, as Angi listed.
  
  
  • Boston: $6,740
  
  
  • Los Angeles: $8,600
  
  
  • New York: $7,630
  
  
  • Chicago: $7,020
  
  
  • Houston: $5,890
  
  
  • Denver: $5,380
  
  
  • Tampa, FL: $5,240
  
  
  • Nashville, TN: $6,420


• Add-ons
  As we mentioned before, the hinges, handles, and drawer pulls can be reused if they are in good condition. However, if you want to replace them, some companies will add that to the cost of their services.
