Kitchen cabinet refacing across San Diego County

Most San Diego cabinet refacing jobs run $8,000-$22,000 depending on the number of doors, the door style, and any layout changes. A 30-door kitchen with shaker doors in a paint-grade finish lands around $12,000-$16,000. Custom door styles, glass inserts, and full-overlay push it higher.

Yes, refacing typically runs 40-60% less than tearing out and replacing cabinets with stock or semi-custom boxes. The trade-off is that you keep the existing layout and box quality, so it only makes sense when the boxes are still structurally sound.

On-site work runs 3-5 working days for a typical San Diego kitchen, including door removal, veneer application, and hardware swap. New doors and drawer fronts are usually fabricated off-site over 2-4 weeks before install day, so plan the project lead time accordingly.

It depends on the substrate. If the damage is limited to doors and toe-kick, we replace those and reface the rest. If the boxes themselves are swollen or delaminated, refacing is a bad investment and full replacement is the right call. We do an on-site inspection before quoting.

Almost any style works: shaker, slab, inset, beadboard, or raised panel. Material choices include paint-grade MDF, wood veneer (maple, oak, walnut), and RTF (rigid thermofoil) for moisture-prone kitchens. We bring sample doors to the in-home consult so you can see them against your existing boxes and lighting.
