Cost of Refacing Kitchen Cabinets - Estimates and Prices Paid

Posted: December 16th, 2012 02:12PM

Home Depot quoted us $25k to reface our current 42in cabinets, add new island and countertops(granite).

Sears quoted us $26k to do the same work as HD and $30k if we added three new cabinets for bar area. Spent 3yrs telling us about their brand, warranty and what they could not do - boring!

Went with local company (Cabinet Coatings of America) as they quoted us $12k, including island, bar area and some other modifications like soft close drawers and adding a utility cabinet next to the fridge. With countertops, came to $17k. Purchased sink and faucet online as saved about half on same products then going to local retailer as we were looking for a composite sink(faucetdirect.com).

Another local company quoted us $18k for the bells and whistles too.

Get multiple quotes as I do not trust big box stores due to this and prior experiences as their quotes always seem to be too high and have little flexibility in options. Find a small business that has been doing the work for over 10 years.
