How to Estimate the Cost of Kitchen Cabinet Refacing
- 1). Count all the cabinets, cupboards and drawers in your kitchen. Write this number down. Measure all your cabinet, cupboard and drawer doors. Write down their measurements.
- 2). Determine what type of material you want to use. Cheaper materials like plastic laminates will cost from $1,000 to $3,000, but upgrading to more expensive materials like wood can cost from $4,000 to $9,000. These costs typically include the cost of removing the old cabinet doors and drawer fronts, the installation of new cabinet doors and drawer fronts and the cost of materials.
- 3). Visit websites such as Contractors, (contractors.com), ServiceMagic (servicemagic.com) or ConstructionWork (constructionwork.com) that will direct you to contractors in your area who do refacing. Call a few contractors and compare quotes, telling each contractor how many cabinets you have and what material you want to use.
- 4). Verify that everything is included in the price the contractor gives you. A good contractor should include removing the old cabinets and the installing new hardware.
