What is the cost difference between cabinet refacing and cabinet replacing?

The cost difference between cabinet refacing and cabinet replacing can vary based on several factors, including the size of your kitchen, the materials chosen, and the intricacy of the design. Here’s a brief overview to help you understand the general distinctions:

Cabinet Refacing: Cabinet refacing is a cost-effective option that involves updating the exterior of your existing cabinets. This process typically includes replacing cabinet doors and drawer fronts, adding new hardware, and applying a fresh veneer to the visible surfaces of the cabinet frames. By keeping the existing cabinet structure, refacing can provide a significant aesthetic upgrade at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.

Cabinet Replacing: Cabinet replacing involves removing and replacing the entire cabinet system. This option is more comprehensive and may be necessary if your current cabinets are structurally unsound, outdated, or if you’re looking for a completely new layout. While cabinet replacing offers more flexibility in design and material choices, it generally comes with a higher price tag due to the labor and materials involved in the complete installation of new cabinets.

Factors Influencing Cost:

1. Materials: The type of materials chosen for cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and veneers can impact costs.
2. Size of Kitchen: The size of your kitchen plays a significant role in determining the overall cost, as larger spaces may require more materials and labor.
3. Additional Features: Special features, such as custom hardware, pull-out shelves, or organizational inserts, can add to the overall cost.
