What Drives the Final Number
Up and down — the honest answer.
Pushes price up
- Larger kitchen footprint (per-LF math scales with cabinet run)
- Premium door fronts (Shaker overlay, custom mill profile)
- Real-wood vs RTF / laminate
- Soft-close drawer slide upgrades (when existing slides are tired)
- Hardware upgrade (premium pulls, hidden hinges)
- Box interior repaint (when interior bothers the client)
- Damaged box repairs uncovered during prep
Keeps price down
- Sound existing cabinet boxes (refacing-eligible)
- Standard RTF or laminate fronts instead of real-wood
- Off-the-shelf hardware (vs designer pulls)
- Single-finish kitchen (no two-tone)
Common Cost Questions
Frequently asked
How much does cabinet refacing cost in DFW?
Standard kitchen refacing: $12,500 minimum, or $325/LF of cabinet run. Includes new door fronts and drawer fronts, paint or finish, hardware, and matching veneer over visible box faces. New soft-close hinges standard. Layout changes, new boxes, and premium front-style upgrades are line-itemed separately.
Refacing vs cabinet painting — what's the difference?
Painting is sanding/priming/finishing your existing doors. Refacing is replacing the doors entirely (plus drawer fronts, hardware, and box veneer). Painting: $5,500 min or $175/LF. Refacing: $12,500 min or $325/LF. Refacing changes the look completely; painting refreshes the existing style.
Refacing vs full replacement?
Refacing only makes sense if your boxes are structurally sound and your layout works. If boxes are damaged or you want a new layout, full replacement is the better call. Stock cabinet replacement: $275/LF, $9,500 min. RTA assembly + install: $350/LF. Semi-custom: $475/LF, $15,000 min. Custom paint-grade: $850/LF, $18,500 min.
How long does refacing take?
Most kitchen refacing projects run 3–5 working days on-site once the new doors arrive. Door lead time from supplier is usually 3–4 weeks; you can keep using the kitchen during measurement and ordering. The disruption window is the actual install.
Countertops too?
Yes — often paired in the same scope. Laminate $75/SF ($2,500 min). Standard quartz $125/SF ($4,500 min). Premium quartzite / Taj Mahal $185/SF ($7,500 min). Backsplash tile $38/SF ($1,850 min).
