Expert guide
Is cabinet refacing right for your kitchen?
Refacing can be one of the highest-value ways to update a kitchen — but only when the existing boxes are sound. Here's how we evaluate every Central Florida kitchen before quoting.
Best candidates for refacing
If your layout works and your cabinet boxes are structurally solid, refacing can deliver a dramatically updated kitchen without replacing all of the cabinetry.
- Structurally sound cabinet boxes that can support new doors and hardware
- A layout you already like — sink, range, and refrigerator stay in place
- Doors and drawer fronts are the main visual problem
- You want less downtime and less tear-out than full cabinet replacement
What drives the cost
Two kitchens the same size can quote thousands apart. The biggest cost drivers are door style, material, cabinet count, and how much hardware or trim you're upgrading.
- Door material and finish selection
- Door count and drawer-front count
- Hinge, drawer-slide, and hardware upgrades
- Crown molding, light rail, and decorative end panels
- Pull-out trays, lazy susans, and interior organizers
When refacing is not enough
If the existing boxes are damaged or the layout needs major changes, replacement or a partial rebuild is usually the better recommendation.
- Water-damaged or delaminating cabinet boxes
- You want to move the sink, range, or a wall of cabinets
- Existing boxes cannot reliably support new hardware
- You're adding an island or significantly changing storage
Frequently asked
How long does cabinet refacing take?+
Most Orlando kitchens are completed in three to five working days from start to finish, with the active in-home work usually wrapping in 2 to 4 days.
How much does cabinet refacing cost in Orlando, FL?+
Project pricing varies based on kitchen size, cabinet count, door material, hardware, and project scope. Because refacing reuses suitable existing cabinet boxes, it typically costs less than full replacement. A written estimate is provided after your free in-home consultation.
Is cabinet refacing cheaper than painting in the long run?+
It can be, depending on the condition of the cabinets, the quality of the paint preparation, and how often repainting would be needed. Refacing replaces the visible doors and drawer fronts and refinishes the exposed cabinet-box surfaces instead of relying on another coat of paint.
Is there cabinet refacing near me in Central Florida?+
Yes. We serve a Central Florida corridor from Kissimmee north through Orlando, Sanford and the Daytona area, and east to communities along the Space Coast. Check our service-area pages or contact us to confirm your address.
What's actually included in a cabinet refacing project?+
A typical refacing scope includes new custom doors and drawer fronts, a coordinated finish on visible cabinet-box surfaces, the hardware specified in your proposal, installation, cleanup, and the applicable written warranty. Your quote documents the exact materials and allowances included in your project.
How long do refaced cabinets last in Florida?+
Service life depends on the condition of the existing boxes, the materials selected, installation quality, moisture exposure, and everyday use. During the consultation we evaluate whether your cabinets are a good candidate for refacing and document the materials and warranty that apply to your project.
Do I have to empty my cabinets?+
Usually only items that interfere with door, drawer, or hardware work need to be moved. We explain what needs to be cleared before installation and preserve normal kitchen access as much as practical during the project.
What materials can I choose for the doors?+
Available selections can include solid wood, painted MDF, and thermofoil in a range of door styles and finishes, including shaker, raised panel, flat panel, glass-insert, and modern profiles. We confirm current options during your consultation.
Will my kitchen be unusable during refacing?+
Refacing avoids a full cabinet tear-out, so disruption is typically much lower than full replacement. We plan the work to preserve access to your kitchen as much as practical and explain any temporary limitations before installation begins.
What is the difference between cabinet refacing and resurfacing?+
They are commonly used to describe the same type of service: keeping suitable existing cabinet boxes while replacing the doors and drawer fronts and updating the visible cabinet-box surfaces.
Do you offer financing for cabinet refacing?+
Yes. Financing options may be available on approved credit. Ask about current terms and promotions during your free estimate because offers can change.

Timeline of savings — what you'll really spend over 16+ years
Cabinet paint chips, yellows and needs to be redone every 3–5 years in Florida's humidity. Refacing is a one-time investment that holds for two decades or more — so the longer you stay, the more refacing wins.
| Option | Year 1–3 | Year 4–6 | Year 6–10 | Year 11–15 | Year 16+ | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paint (re-do every ~4 yrs) | Paid once | Pay again | Pay again | Pay again | Pay again | Four paint cycles and counting |
| Refacing (one-time) | Paid once | No spend | No spend | No spend | No spend | Paid once — still looks new |
| Cabinet replacement (one-time) | Paid once | No spend | No spend | No spend | No spend | Paid once — highest upfront |
| Minor remodel (one-time) | Paid once | No spend | No spend | No spend | No spend | Paid once — highest of all |
The long view: painting is cheaper on day one but is a recurring expense. Refacing is a one-time investment, so the longer you stay in the home, the better it compares — and your kitchen still looks like the day it was installed.
