Kitchen Refacing Costs
Installing new cabinets is a costly home improvement job, but refacing the cabinets is a less expensive option. The cost of kitchen refacing varies, depending on the company behind the job. Does this Spark an idea?

Cost
-
A basic refacing job that consists of just the kitchen cabinets can run around $3,000 to 4,000, according to This Old House. A total refacing job can reach $9,000 or more and includes cabinets, counters and other features. Big-box or department stores offer refacing jobs for around $6,000, while independent companies charge a slightly higher price.
Considerations
-
Refacing the kitchen yourself costs much less. Replacing the hardware and painting or staining the cabinets give the kitchen a fresh look, without the high expense.
-
Comparison
-
The cost of refacing your kitchen may seem high, but not if you compare it to an overall kitchen makeover. Pete Goode with This Old House puts the cost of a kitchen remodeling job, complete with new cabinets, at $25,000 to well over $30,000.
