Everything you need to know about cabinet refacing — cost, timeline, warranty, and how the process works.
Refacely replaces every cabinet door, drawer front, and all hardware — hinges, pulls, and soft-close mechanisms. The existing cabinet boxes stay in place. The face frames, stiles, and rails on the outside of the boxes are painted to match the new doors for a cohesive, finished look. In some cases a matching veneer wrap may be used instead — either way, everything the eye sees is fully transformed.
Most Refacely projects fall between $3,995 and $15,000 depending on Kitchen size, door style, and hardware selection. That's typically 60–70% less than a full cabinet replacement. Upload a few photos and get a non-binding ballpark estimate today — no appointment required.
In the Denver metro area, cabinet refacing with Refacely typically costs between $3,995 and $15,000, with most kitchens landing in the $5,000–$12,000 range. The exact price depends on kitchen size, door style, and hardware selection. By comparison, a full cabinet replacement in Denver averages $20,000 to $40,000 or more before counters, plumbing, and electrical. Refacing delivers a comparable visual transformation at roughly 60–70% less cost, with installation completed in 3–5 days instead of 8–12 weeks.
For most homeowners, yes — cabinet refacing is worth it when the existing cabinet boxes are structurally sound. It delivers the same visual impact as a full kitchen remodel — new doors, new hardware, a completely different look — at a fraction of the cost and time. It's the right call when you like your kitchen's layout and just want it to look current. It's not the right call if you need to change the layout, move plumbing or appliances, or if the cabinet boxes have water damage or structural issues. Refacely reviews photos during the quote process and will recommend against refacing if it's not the right fit.
Cabinet refacing keeps your existing cabinet boxes in place and replaces only what you see — doors, drawer fronts, and hardware — with the face frames painted or wrapped to match. Cabinet replacement tears out the entire cabinet system, boxes included, and installs new ones from scratch. Replacement allows for layout changes but costs significantly more ($20,000–$40,000+ in Denver) and takes 8–12 weeks with the kitchen unusable. Refacing costs $3,995–$15,000, takes 3–5 days, and the kitchen stays functional throughout. If the layout works and the boxes are sound, refacing delivers a near-identical result for a fraction of the cost and disruption.
Yes. Refacely offers flexible financing through a third-party lending partner, with payments as low as $350/month depending on credit approval and project size. Financing details are included in your written quote, so the full picture — project cost, monthly payment, and terms — is clear before you commit to anything.
Fair question — and the honest answer is this: Refacely is a new brand, but not a new trade. The experience behind it spans years of work in the home services industry, with established supplier relationships already in place. The brand is new because the model is new — a faster, more transparent, more affordable way to deliver a result the industry has been doing the slow, expensive way for decades. The lifetime warranty isn't a marketing line. It's the confidence that comes from knowing the product, the process, and the suppliers well enough to stand behind it indefinitely.
Most installations are completed in 3 to 5 days. Doors are factory-finished and arrive ready to install, so there's no painting or curing time on-site. From the day of booking, lead time is typically as low as 10 days depending on supplier turnaround.
Yes. Because Refacely works on the doors and fronts only — not the cabinet boxes or countertops — the Kitchen stays functional throughout the project. There's no displacement, no living out of coolers, and no eating takeout for a month.
If the cabinet boxes are structurally sound — no water damage, no warping, no mold — refacing is almost always the better option. Refacely will review your photos during the quote process and flag anything that might need attention before committing to a project.
Not always — sometimes a door-only replacement is the smarter move. If the existing cabinet faces are white, off-white, or a neutral that closely matches the new door finish, Refacely can swap the doors and hardware only — skipping the painting or veneer step entirely. The product name for this is re-dooring or door replacement. The result looks cohesive, the cost is lower, and the timeline is even faster. Refacely will flag this option during the quote review if the cabinets are a good candidate.
The warranty covers all doors and hardware for the life of the home — and it's transferable if the home is sold. If a door warps, a hinge fails, or a finish chips under normal conditions, Refacely replaces it at no cost. No fine print, no expiration date.
Refacely offers five factory-finished door styles — Shaker, Slab, Thin Shaker, Reed/Slatted, and Raised Panel — in a curated selection of colors and finishes. The goal is fewer decisions, faster lead times, and a result that looks intentional. Color samples are available on request.
Refacely serves the greater Denver metro area including Lakewood, Highlands, Cherry Creek, Cherry Hills, Littleton, Centennial, Aurora, Englewood, Westminster, Arvada, Golden, Highlands Ranch, Parker, Lafayette, Thornton, and surrounding Front Range communities. Not sure if your neighborhood is covered? Just ask — if Refacely can get there, it will.
Upload a few photos of your Kitchen through the quote tool. Refacely will review them and send back a non-binding ballpark estimate — usually same day. If the numbers work, the next step is a quick on-site visit to confirm measurements and finalize the quote before anything is ordered.
Refacely is a cabinet door, drawer front, and hardware specialist — not a full kitchen remodeler. Basic trim carpentry is included, like new toe kicks and molding. What's outside scope right now: replacing drawer boxes or drawer slides, rebuilding water-damaged cabinets, or advanced trim carpentry — that expands as the team grows beyond a solo operation. Refacely is also best suited for kitchens in the typical $5,000–$15,000 refacing range. Large, highly custom kitchens with extensive built-ins are usually a better fit for a high-end remodel contractor. Photos during the quote process help identify this early, and you'll know right away if Refacely isn't the right fit — no wasted time on either side.
It's a maintenance visit for your kitchen cabinets. Refacely realigns every door, tightens every hinge and pull, adjusts drawer slides, adds fresh soft-close bumpers, and touches up minor finish damage — then leaves you with an honest written assessment of what your cabinets actually need. Most kitchens take about two hours, and the whole thing is a flat $149. It's the easiest way to see the quality of Refacely's work firsthand before committing to a larger project. See the full Tune-Up details here.
If you book any Refacely refacing or upgrade project within 90 days of your Tune-Up, the full $149 is credited against that project — the entire amount, not a percentage or a coupon. In other words, the Tune-Up either stands on its own as a fixed-price service, or it becomes a deposit toward the bigger transformation. Either way you come out ahead.
The Tune-Up is available within roughly 30 to 45 minutes of Denver — Lakewood, Edgewater, Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Golden, Westminster, Littleton, Englewood, Centennial, Aurora, Highlands Ranch, Thornton, and most of the surrounding metro. A little outside that range? Call or text your address and Refacely will let you know honestly whether it's worth the trip.
