The newer master-planned homes often have open-concept kitchens already, so work here trends toward cabinet and counter refreshes ($15,000-$40,000) or full custom remodels in the $90,000+ tier.

How much do custom kitchen cabinets cost in San Diego?
Custom cabinets in San Diego typically run $25,000-$80,000+ for a full kitchen, depending on the wood, door style, and accessories. Paint-grade maple shaker lands in the $30,000-$50,000 range. Inset face-frame or rift-sawn white oak can push $60,000-$100,000+. Hardware and accessories are a meaningful share of the total.
Is cabinet refinishing the same as new custom cabinets?
No. Refinishing sands and re-stains or repaints the doors and boxes you already have, so the layout, the sizes, and the box quality all stay exactly as they are. New custom cabinets are built to your measurements, so you can change the layout, the door style, the interior storage, and the wood. The crews we match you with build and install new cabinets and reface solid boxes. They do not do stain-only refinishing. If the boxes are sound and you only want a different color, refacing is the cheaper path. If the layout is the problem, refinishing will not fix it.
