Is It Worth it to Reface Kitchen Cabinets?
Thinking about updating your kitchen? A full remodel takes weeks and costs $20,000-$40,000 or more. Cabinet refacing gives you the same fresh look for 40-60% less, with most projects done in 3-5 days.
Refacing keeps your existing cabinet boxes if they are solid. We replace the doors and drawer fronts, cover the visible surfaces with new veneer or laminate, and upgrade the hardware. You get a brand-new style without tearing your kitchen apart.
Average refacing projects run $7,000-$12,000, depending on kitchen size and options. Those savings often leave room for new countertops, appliances, or flooring.
Why homeowners choose refacing:
• Huge style upgrade with modern doors and finishes
• Eco-friendly-reuses existing boxes, less waste
• Less mess and stress-no demolition zone in your home
• Flexibility to add new cabinets, an island, or trim that blends seamlessly
When is refacing not the right choice? If your cabinets are damaged, low-quality, or if you want a completely new layout, replacement makes more sense.
For most homeowners in Dracut, MA, and the Merrimack Valley, refacing is the smart, budget-friendly way to transform a kitchen.
