Cabinet Refacing Cost per Door 2026
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 DIY experts 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 information page. If you're still deciding whether refacing is the right option, you can learn more about the process on our Halifax cabinet refacing 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.
