New Kitchen Look Without the Full Replacement Price
Your kitchen cabinets take up more visual space than any other element in the room. When they look dated, the whole kitchen looks dated – even if everything else is fine. Cabinet refacing gives you a completely new look by replacing the visible surfaces while keeping the existing cabinet boxes in place. Showcase Remodels Philadelphia reffaces kitchen cabinets across Philadelphia with new doors, drawer fronts, end panels, and veneers in dozens of styles and finishes. The result looks like brand-new cabinets at 50 to 70 percent less than full kitchen remodeling would cost.
What Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Includes
Refacing is a resurfacing process that replaces visible cabinet surfaces while keeping the structural boxes intact. Here is what the project involves.
New cabinet doors and drawer fronts
Every door and drawer front is replaced with your chosen style – shaker, slab, raised panel, or transitional. Materials include solid wood, thermofoil, laminate, and rigid thermofoil (RTF).
Veneer application
The visible face frames and exposed sides of cabinet boxes are covered with matching veneer. This creates a seamless look between the new doors and existing boxes.
New hardware
Hinges, pulls, and knobs are updated to match the new door style. Soft-close hinges and full-extension drawer slides are standard upgrades during refacing.
Optional additions
Crown molding, under-cabinet lighting, pull-out shelves, and lazy Susans can be added during the refacing project at a fraction of the cost of a full remodel.
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Costs in Philadelphia
Kitchen cabinet refacing in Philadelphia costs $4,000 to $9,000 for a standard 10-by-12-foot kitchen. That is 50 to 70 percent less than full cabinet replacement, which runs $15,000 to $35,000.
Laminate refacing
is the most affordable option at $1,000 to $3,000 for a standard kitchen. Laminate is durable, moisture-resistant, and available in wood-grain patterns.
Wood veneer refacing
costs $2,500 to $6,000. Real wood veneers provide a natural look and can be stained to match any color.
Premium wood refacing
with cherry, walnut, or mahogany costs $7,000 to $20,000. These high-grade materials are reserved for homeowners who want the look of custom cabinets.
Hardware and accessories
add $200 to $800 to the total. Soft-close hinges, new pulls, and pull-out organizers are the most common add-ons.
Should You Reface or Replace Your Kitchen Cabinets
This is the first question most {CI} homeowners ask. The answer depends on the condition of your existing cabinets and your goals for the kitchen.
Reface when
your cabinet boxes are structurally sound, your kitchen layout works well, you want a visual refresh without a major renovation, your budget is under $10,000, and you want to keep your kitchen functional during the project (refacing takes 3 to 5 days versus 2 to 4 weeks for replacement).
Replace when
your cabinet boxes are warped, water-damaged, or made of particleboard. Replace when you want to change the kitchen layout, add or remove cabinets, or reconfigure storage. Replace when the existing cabinets are not standard sizes or have structural issues.
Cost comparison
Refacing saves 50 to 70 percent over replacement. For a kitchen with 30 cabinet doors, refacing runs $4,000 to $9,000 versus $15,000 to $35,000 for full replacement with similar-quality materials.
ROI comparison
Minor kitchen remodels that include cabinet refacing deliver a 112.9 percent return on investment according to the 2025 Cost vs Value Report – the highest ROI of any remodeling project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Cabinet Refacing
Most kitchens are refaced in 3 to 5 days of on-site work. From initial consultation through completion, the total timeline is typically 3 to 5 weeks including the 2 to 4 week fabrication period. Your kitchen remains usable during the installation.
Yes. Refacing replaces all visible surfaces, so you can change from any color to any other color. Going from dark oak to white shaker or natural wood to painted gray is the most common transformation.
When done professionally, refaced cabinets are visually identical to new cabinets. The new doors, drawer fronts, and veneers cover every visible surface. The only parts that remain are the cabinet boxes inside, which are hidden when the doors are closed.
