Project Details
How much does cabinet painting/refacing cost?
Pro paint for a typical kitchen (~15 doors + 8 drawers) commonly plans around $2,500–$7,000. DIY materials often $250–$850. True door-replacement reface often $5,000–$12,000+. Enter door/drawer counts for a materials planning band.
Paint or replace cabinets?
Paint/reface when boxes are square and dry. Replace when particleboard is swollen, layout is broken, or doors are failing. See the kitchen remodel guides for full gut ranges.
Can I DIY cabinet painting?
Yes with thorough degreasing, bonding primer, thin coats, and patience. Lead-test pre-1978 finishes before sanding.
