Cabinet Refacing Cost per Door 2025

Another important consideration is the cabinet refacing cost per door. This cost typically ranges from $100 to $400 per door, depending on the materials and finishes you choose. For example, laminate doors are generally less expensive than wood veneer or solid wood doors. Some of my customers are willing to be a DYI expert and prepare their cabinets for new doors only and prepare the cabinet boxes themself. With that being said we offer a re-door program including replacement hinges. Live in Dartmouth then see the dartmouth kitchen refacing infomation page.

Is It Better to Reface or Replace Kitchen Cabinets

Deciding whether to reface or replace kitchen cabinets depends on your budget, the condition of your current cabinets, and your long-term goals. Refacing is a great option if your cabinets are in good structural condition but just need a cosmetic update. It's more affordable and faster than a full replacement.
