All-new custom cabinets, any layout, any style—best for full kitchen transformations.
*Price ranges are typical for many kitchens in our service area. Your exact proposal will depend on size, layout, and options.
Option 1 – Cabinet Painting (Most Budget-Friendly)
Best when you like your current layout and door style but want a fresh new color.
Typical range: $4,900 – $7,900*

We professionally clean, prep, and spray your existing cabinets using an industrial-grade 2K finish. This gives you a smooth, factory-like coating that’s far more durable than standard house paint, without changing your layout or door style.

Includes:
  • Thorough cleaning, prep, sanding, and masking
  • Doors and drawers sprayed off-site for a smooth finish
  • Cabinet frames, moldings, and panels sprayed on-site with proper containment
  • KCMA-approved 2K cabinet coating designed for kitchen use
Popular Optional Add-Ons:
  • New hardware (handles and knobs) installed
  • Minor cabinet repairs before painting
  • Color changes on islands or accent areas
  • Additional clear coat upgrade for extra durability
  • Hinge replacement where compatible
Ideal for solid cabinets that just need a cosmetic refresh.
Option 2 – Hybrid Paint + Partial Refacing
New doors and drawer fronts, with painted frames and panels to match.
Typical range: $9,500 – $14,500*

This option is perfect when you want a new door style and a modern look, but your cabinet boxes are still in good shape. We install new doors and drawer fronts, then professionally paint the frames, side panels, and moldings to create a unified finish.

Includes:
  • New solid-wood or MDF doors in your chosen style (Shaker, flat, raised, etc.)
  • New matching drawer fronts
  • 2K sprayed finish on cabinet face frames and visible moldings
  • New or painted end panels for a consistent look
  • Soft-close concealed hinges on new doors
Popular Optional Add-Ons:
  • New matching end panels for exposed cabinet sides
  • Hardware upgrades (handles, pulls, knobs)
  • Crown molding for a finished look at the top
  • Soft-close hinge upgrades on any remaining doors
  • Light rail addition under upper cabinets
Option 3 – Standard Cabinet Refacing
A full surface upgrade while keeping your existing cabinet boxes.
Typical range: $15,000 – $25,000*

Standard refacing transforms the visible parts of your kitchen: new doors, new drawer fronts, and real wood veneers applied to your cabinet frames. This gives the look of new cabinets at a lower cost than a full tear-out.

Includes:
  • New doors and drawer fronts in your chosen style and finish
  • Real wood veneers applied to all face frames
  • New matching end panels, trim pieces, and toe kicks where needed
  • Soft-close concealed hinges
  • Factory-grade 2K sprayed finish on doors, fronts, and refaced areas
Popular Optional Add-Ons:
  • Two-tone color upgrades (e.g., different island or base color)
  • Glass doors for selected upper cabinets
  • Interior shelf upgrades to ¾" plywood
  • Crown molding and other decorative trim details
  • Decorative toe kick profiles for a more custom look
Option 4 – Refacing + Premium Drawer Upgrade
Combine a new look with a major boost in day-to-day function.
Typical range: $18,000 – $28,000*

This package includes everything in Standard Refacing, plus brand-new drawer boxes throughout. It’s an excellent choice for older kitchens where the drawers are worn, sticky, or shallow.

Includes:
  • All features from Standard Refacing
  • New maple dovetail drawer boxes
  • Blum full-extension soft-close drawer slides
Popular Optional Add-Ons:
  • Cutlery and utensil drawer inserts
  • Built-in knife block drawers
  • Trash and recycling pullouts
  • Pan and lid organizers for lower cabinets
  • Spice pullout units or spice drawer inserts
Option 5 – Premium Refacing Package (Top-Tier Transformation)
The closest you can get to a custom kitchen while still keeping your cabinet boxes.
Typical range: $22,000 – $32,000*

Our Premium Refacing Package combines the visual upgrade of refacing with storage, convenience, and design improvements throughout your kitchen. This is ideal when you want a high-end look and feel without the cost of full replacement.

Includes:
  • All features from Standard Refacing
  • Cabinets extended to the ceiling where appropriate
  • Crown molding and light rail molding for a finished look
  • Selected storage accessories and pullouts tailored to your needs
  • Premium hardware options and finish combinations
Popular Optional Add-Ons:
  • Full storage accessory package (rollouts, dividers, organizers)
  • Glass cabinet doors for display areas
  • Two-tone finishes (e.g., different islands or uppers vs. bases)
  • Upgraded handle/pull collections
Option 6 – Hybrid Replacement (Uppers or Bases Only)
Strategically replace the cabinets that need it most and update the rest to match.
Typical range: $25,000 – $35,000*

In many kitchens, either the uppers or the bases are the main problem. With a hybrid replacement, we build new custom uppers or new custom bases and then refinish or reface the remaining cabinets so everything ties together.

Includes:
  • New custom upper cabinets or new custom base cabinets
  • Matching finishes so new and existing areas look cohesive
  • Refacing or painting of remaining cabinet boxes as needed
Popular Optional Add-Ons:
  • Upper cabinet extension to the ceiling
  • Glass door upgrades for selected uppers

Option 7 – Full Custom Cabinetry (Complete Replacement)
Best for full kitchen remodels with new layouts, walls, or major changes.
Typical range: $30,000 – $50,000+*

Full custom cabinetry is the top tier for homeowners who want complete freedom in layout, storage, and design. Cabinets are custom built and finished to your specifications, with nearly unlimited options for sizes, configurations, and styles.

Includes:
  • All-new custom cabinets built locally
  • Any door style, color, and wood species
  • Blum soft-close hinges and slides
  • Custom islands, pantries, oven towers, fridge enclosures, and more
  • New trim, crown, and details throughout
