FAQ
-
How much does cabinet refacing cost?
Cabinet refacing typically ranges from $8,500 to $18,000, depending on kitchen size, materials, hardware, and layout changes. It’s usually 40–60% less than a full replacement while delivering the same modern, custom look.
-
How long does cabinet refacing or painting take?
Most refacing projects take 3–5 days, and cabinet painting takes 3–5 days as well.
Full kitchen remodels can take 6–8 weeks, which is why many homeowners choose refacing or painting instead — faster turnaround, less disruption, and lower cost. -
What’s the difference between refacing, painting, and replacing cabinets?
Painting updates the color and finish on your existing boxes.
Refacing replaces all doors, drawers, and exterior surfaces for a brand-new custom look.
Replacing removes the entire cabinet system and installs new boxes, often requiring electrical, plumbing, and permitting.
-
Do I need to be home during the project?

Can I add new cabinets, an island, or modify my layout?

Why choose KCC over other contractors?
KCC was built by two cousins, Kane and Chanse, who grew up learning the craft directly from family. That foundation of hands-on experience guides everything we do today. We pair skilled workmanship with professional training, clear communication, fast turnaround times, and a transparent process from estimate to installation. Homeowners choose KCC because our work is precise, durable, and backed by a team that genuinely cares about delivering a smooth, stress-free experience.

Do you offer full cabinet replacement if my cabinets can’t be refaced?

This includes layout changes, extensions, islands, soft-close hardware, and full customization. Replacement is ideal when you want a brand-new design or major upgrades.
-
How much does interior or exterior painting cost?

-
How do I know if I should reface, repaint, or replace my cabinets?
Here’s a quick guideline homeowners search for:
Paint if you like your current layout and want a fast, affordable refresh.
Reface if your boxes are strong but you want a modern, custom, completely new look.
Replace if you want a new layout, new box construction, or if the existing cabinets are damaged.

How much value does refacing or painting cabinets add to my home?

Refacing or painting instantly modernizes the space, boosts buyer appeal, and can significantly increase your home’s market value without the cost of a full remodel. Many homeowners choose these services because they deliver a luxury look, fast results, and strong resale impact while keeping the existing layout intact.
