The typical range

$6,000 – $12,000

Most kitchen cabinet refinishing projects in Sonoma and Napa fall in this range. Smaller kitchens and simple color changes land toward the lower end; large kitchens, islands, two-tone designs and extra repair work toward the higher end. Every estimate is free and in writing.

What moves the price

Size of the kitchen

The number of doors, drawer fronts and cabinet boxes is the biggest factor. An island or a wall of pantry cabinets adds to it.

Condition and repairs

Water damage at the sink base, worn edges, old hardware holes to fill and loose joints all add prep time.

Finish and color

A single painted color is simplest. Two-tone kitchens, glazes, re-staining wood or grain-filling oak take more steps.

Extras

New hardware, crown or trim details, and adding vanities or built-ins to the same project.

Compared with replacement

Usually a fraction of new cabinets.

New cabinets usually also mean new countertops, plumbing and electrical work, demolition, and weeks without a kitchen. Refinishing keeps your boxes, counters and plumbing in place and takes about a week.

If your cabinets are solid and you like the layout, refinishing is almost always the better value.
