Cabinet refinishing involves restoring the original look of your cabinets without changing the doors. In contrast, refacing means replacing your cabinet doors with new ones, while keeping the existing frames and cupboard boxes intact. If your cabinets are in good condition but just need a fresh look, refinishing is a cost-effective option. However, if your cabinets are old with broken doors and damaged shelves, refacing them with new doors would be a better choice.

The answer is both yes and no. Some putties and fillers can be used to eliminate the grain, but this can be costly and almost as expensive as replacing the doors. A more practical and cost-effective solution is to have your cabinets painted. Not only is it budget-friendly, but it also keeps your kitchen looking trendy.

Refinishing is about 50% less expensive than refacing your cabinets with high-quality woods. Refinishing typically costs between $1,900 and $8,000, depending on the size and details of the cabinets. The actual cost will depend on the work involved, type of stain, refinishing method, and design. In contrast, the average cost of refacing is around $6,300, as it involves replacing the doors and drawers with new laminates or wood.
