Discount Kitchen Cabinets vs. Kitchen Cabinet Refacing
“discount kitchen cabinets” “kitchen cabinet refacing”
A complete set of kitchen cabinets can start at around $800 at the bottom of the line for discount kitchen cabinets and go all the way up to $100,000 for a high quality set. Kitchen cabinets have an enormous spread in pricing – from $80 a lineal foot for laminate faced, self-assembly to $300 a lineal foot for hardwood doors, glass insets, and ceiling trims. Because of this spread in price, it is important to set a top amount that you can afford. Then you consider the cabinet designs available up to that price point.
Another option is kitchen cabinet refacing. Kitchen cabinet refacing involves removing your kitchen cabinet doors and drawers and resurfacing them with wood or laminate veneer. The newly refaced doors and drawerfronts are then mounted using new hinges and pull.
For the best look, the interior edges of the face frame should also be faced, or at least completely sanded and refinished. This process is much less expensive than replacing your kitchen cabinets, yet provides a fresh updated look.
Here’s a before and after example:

The cost of having the average kitchen refaced by a professional kitchen cabinet refacing company can run between $2500-$5000 depending on the size, number and layout of the existing cabinets, and is considerably less than replacing the whole kitchen. Kitchen cabinet refacing can usually be done in about 3-5 work days.
