If home is 10 years or older, these cabinets were probably made from wood, are very sturdy and in good shape. Refacing gives an exciting, fresh, new look at a fraction of the cost.

According to Bob Vila, the cost to cover kitchen cabinet fronts and doors ranges between $1000 and $5000 for the average kitchen. Replacing doors can cost up to $9000. A homeowner should get a detailed list from any contractor itemizing what is included in this project. Most refacing includes the removal of the old doors, updating the cabinet fronts, reinstalling the doors and attaching new hardware. The contractor should explain any special circumstances affecting the price.
