Refacing vs. replacing
Which is right for your kitchen?
Rule of thumb: reface if you love your layout and just want a new look; replace if you're reworking the space or want more storage. Your matched pro can help you decide.
Cabinet refacing
Keep your layout, refresh the look
- Best when your boxes are solid and the layout already works
- New doors, drawer fronts, and matching veneer — same footprint
- ~$4,000–$10,000, and usually done in about a week
- Less mess, less downtime, lower cost
- Limited to your current sizes and configuration
New cabinets (replace)
Start fresh and change anything
- Best when you're changing the layout, sizes, or storage
- New boxes — any style, finish, and smart-storage options
- ~$5,000 (stock) to $50,000+ (custom) installed
- Custom builds take about 6–8 weeks
- Bigger investment, more disruption — but a true transformation
