Plastic Veneer Refacing Cost

In 2010, a basic cabinet refacing job using plastic veneer costs about $3,000 in the average kitchen, according to the website This Old House. Refacing includes replacing cabinet doors and exposed cabinet frames with either plastic veneer or wood.

Wood Cabinet Refacing Costs Much More

Real wood cabinet refacing costs at least double that of plastic veneer. The average kitchen costs $8,000 to $9,000 to reface the cabinets with wood, states This Old House in 2010. Some people think the beauty of natural wood doesn't compare with other materials.

Bottom Line

Depending on the materials used for a cabinet refacing job, homeowners should expect to pay anywhere between $3,000 to $9,000 to complete a kitchen. Real wood pushes the price to the higher end of the scale, where plastic veneer keeps the cost lower.
