What drives the price

Door & drawer count

Refacing is priced per opening. More doors and drawers = more material and labor. This is the single biggest driver of your total.

Door style

Shaker is the modern default and sits near the base rate. Slab (flat) is similar. Raised-panel and applied-molding styles cost more due to routing and material.

Material

Painted MDF is durable and cost-effective. Thermofoil is budget-friendly with limited color options. Solid wood (maple, oak, cherry) is premium and adds 30–60%.

Hardware

Soft-close hinges are standard on every project. Pulls and knobs range from $3–$25 each. Designer hardware on 40 openings can add $500–$1,000.

Extras

Crown molding runs about $32/LF along upper cabinets. Matching painted end panels are ~$325 each. Painting the visible cabinet boxes to match is $950–$3,550 depending on kitchen size.
