Cabinet Painting vs. Replacement: Which Saves More?

Cabinet Painting vs. Replacement: Which Saves More?

Dreaming of a new kitchen but not the price tag? Before you tear out your cabinets, consider refinishing — it's often the smartest money you can spend.

The cost difference

New cabinets for an average kitchen can run $8,000 – $25,000+. Professional cabinet refinishing typically costs 50–70% less while completely transforming the look.

When refinishing makes sense

  • Your cabinet boxes are structurally solid.
  • You like the current layout.
  • You want a modern color (white, greige, navy) or a fresh, factory-smooth finish.

When to replace instead

  • Boxes are water-damaged, warped, or falling apart.
  • You want a completely different layout or size.

Why the finish quality matters

A durable result requires degreasing, sanding, priming, and a sprayed cabinet-grade enamel — not a quick brush coat. That's exactly how we do it.
