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 50–75% less than a full cabinet replacement. Book a free in-home consultation and get a real number before we leave — not a range.
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 50–75% less cost, with installation completed in 3–5 days instead of 8–12 weeks. See the full Denver cabinet refacing cost breakdown.
For most kitchens, yes, and it isn't close. You keep your solid cabinet boxes and get brand-new doors, drawer fronts, hinges and hardware, so the kitchen looks new for 50–75% less than replacement. And instead of 8 to 12 weeks of torn-out cabinets and takeout, most installations wrap up in 3 to 5 days. If you like your layout and just want the kitchen to look like now, this is probably the answer you were hoping to find. The one catch: your boxes need to be in good shape, and refacing won't move plumbing or change the layout. That's what the in-home consultation checks, and if refacing isn't the right fit, we'll tell you straight.
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 you keep using your kitchen, with light use for a couple of days while the frames are painted. If the layout works and the boxes are sound, refacing delivers a near-identical result for a fraction of the cost and disruption.
Yes. Financing is available for qualified buyers through a third-party financing partner. Rates and terms depend on credit approval, and we'll share the application link at your consultation.
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 on hardware and hinges 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 them indefinitely.
Most installations take 3 to 5 days. Your new doors and drawer fronts arrive factory-finished, and we prep and paint your existing frames right there in your kitchen during those days. From signed agreement to finished kitchen, plan on about two to three weeks. Working against a deadline, like a listing date or a holiday? We can expedite your order, and the fastest we can turn a kitchen around is about 7 to 10 days once the order is placed, depending on the schedule. Just mention it at your consultation.
Mostly, yes. There's no demolition and no moving out, since your cabinet boxes and countertops stay right where they are. For a couple of days while the frames are being painted, you'll want to keep kitchen use light, so plan on easy meals. We'll send you a short prep list before install day so nothing catches you off guard. Still a lot better than a month of takeout.
If the cabinet boxes are structurally sound — no water damage, no warping, no mold — refacing is almost always the better option. At your in-home consultation we'll check the boxes and flag anything that might need attention before you commit 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 your in-home consultation if your cabinets are a good candidate.
Lifetime warranty on hardware and hinges. Six-year replacement guarantee on doors and drawer fronts. Coverage is per-piece, not full-kitchen replacement, and does not cover misuse, accidents, normal wear and tear, modifications by others, or water damage from plumbing or ventilation issues.
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.

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: new drawer boxes, rebuilding water-damaged cabinets, advanced trim carpentry, layout changes, countertops, plumbing and electrical. 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. The in-home consultation identifies 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 visits take about 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the kitchen, 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 about a 45-minute drive 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.
