If you’re like most folks, you’ve heard the terms Cabinet Refacing and Cabinet Refinishing thrown around when you say you’d like to update your kitchen. After hours of Internet searches, you’re probably still undecided on which is the better solution for your kitchen.
Remember, your kitchen is the heart of your home, and you deserve cabinets that reflect the style and quality you envision.
When it comes to refreshing your kitchen, you have two main options: Cabinet Refinishing and Cabinet Refacing. While both services can breathe new life into your space, one offers a more lasting, transformative impact. Let’s break down the difference and help you make the best decision.
What’s the Difference Between Cabinet Refacing and Cabinet Resurfacing?
Cabinet Refinishing (also known as resurfacing) is like giving your cabinets a new coat of paint. Refinishing companies sand down the surfaces, apply new finishes, and give your existing doors a fresh look. It’s cost-effective but leaves the same structure and style of your cabinets in place. The problem? It only addresses surface-level issues, meaning you’re left with the same old cabinets—just spruced up.
Cabinet Refacing, on the other hand, is a total transformation. We keep your cabinet framework, but replace your doors, drawer fronts, and apply new veneers to the visible surfaces. Essentially, your kitchen gets a brand-new look, for a fraction of the cost of full replacement.

Why Choose Cabinet Refacing?
1. Total Transformation Without the Hassle Refacing doesn’t just freshen up the look of your kitchen—it completely transforms it. You’re not just painting over the old; you’re replacing the worn-out doors and surfaces with brand-new materials, making it feel like an entirely new kitchen without the mess of a full renovation. In a few days, your kitchen will go from dated to dazzling!
2. Cost-Effective for a High-End Look Resurfacing may be cheaper, but in the long run, you get what you pay for. Refacing strikes the perfect balance between affordability and longevity. You’ll be investing in high-quality materials that last 15-20 years or more, providing the same wow factor as new cabinets—without the hefty price tag. For just a bit more than resurfacing, you’ll enjoy a completely updated look that’s built to last.
3. Longevity That Pays Off Refacing involves replacing your cabinet doors and drawer fronts with durable, long-lasting materials like solid wood, high-quality veneers, or laminates. These materials are designed to withstand daily wear and tear, giving you peace of mind that your investment will last decades, not just a few years like resurfacing. Resurfacing, with its temporary fixes, may need to be redone in less than 10 years.
4. Modern Design at Your Fingertips With refacing, you can completely change the style of your kitchen—whether you’re after a sleek modern look, a cozy farmhouse feel, or something in between. Refacing gives you the flexibility to customize your kitchen’s look with a wide range of materials and finishes. Resurfacing just can’t compete when it comes to options and visual impact.
The Cost Breakdown: Why Refacing is the Smarter Choice
We get it—cost is a big factor in any renovation. Let’s compare:
- Cabinet Refinishing: $1,700 to $3,250+
- Pros: Cheap and quick.
- Cons: Limited change, only surface deep, needs touch-ups in a few years.
- Cabinet Refacing: $2,000 to $4,500+
- Pros: A completely new look, durable materials, lasts 15-20 years or more.
- Cons: Slightly higher upfront cost, but the long-term value is undeniable.
While refinishing is appealing for its slightly lower cost, it’s important to remember that you’re only refreshing the surface. Refacing, on the other hand, is an investment in your home—you’re getting nearly new cabinets, for a price that’s much more affordable than full replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does cabinet refacing last?
Cabinet refacing can last 15-20 years or more with proper care. The new doors, drawer fronts, and veneers are made of high-quality materials like solid wood, laminates, or veneers, which are designed to stand the test of time. It’s a durable solution that gives you the look of brand-new cabinets without the cost of full replacement.
How long does cabinet refacing take?
Refacing typically takes 3-5 days, depending on the size of your kitchen and the materials used. Unlike a full remodel, which can take weeks or even months, refacing is a quick and minimally invasive process. You won’t need to tear out cabinets or disrupt your daily life.
Is cabinet refacing cheaper than replacing my cabinets?
Yes! Cabinet refacing costs 50-60% less than a full cabinet replacement. You get all the benefits of new cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and updated surfaces without the expense and hassle of tearing out your entire cabinetry system.
Can I choose different styles and colors for my refaced cabinets?
Absolutely! One of the biggest benefits of cabinet refacing is the ability to completely customize the look of your kitchen. You can choose from a wide variety of colors, materials, finishes, and hardware to match your style—whether it’s modern, traditional, or something in between.
Will refacing fix worn or damaged cabinets?
Refacing is perfect for cabinets that have structurally sound boxes but need a visual upgrade. If your cabinet doors are outdated or damaged, we’ll replace them with brand-new ones. For any minor surface damage on the cabinet boxes, we’ll cover it with durable veneers or laminates that hide imperfections and give your cabinets a fresh, new appearance.
