What makes kitchen cabinet refacing different in Central San Diego?
Older central San Diego, National City, and La Mesa homes frequently have 1970s and 80s cabinets with solid boxes but laminated doors that are peeling. Refacing here replaces the doors and drawer fronts, wraps the boxes in a new RTF or wood veneer, and adds a single soft-close hinge and full-extension glide throughout. The layout stays put so the project moves fast and the cost stays well below replacement.

How much does kitchen cabinet refacing cost in San Diego?
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.
Is cabinet refinishing the same as cabinet refacing?
No. Refinishing sands and re-stains or repaints the doors you already have, so the style and layout stay the same. Refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts and applies fresh veneer to the boxes, so the style, color, and hardware all change together. The crews we match you with handle refacing and full cabinet replacement, not stain-only refinishing. If the boxes are solid and you want a different look rather than the same look restored, refacing is the better value.
