Cabinet Refinishing vs. Replacement: Cost Comparison
- The average kitchen cabinet replacement in Seattle runs $15,000-$30,000 including materials, labor, demolition, and disposal. It takes 2-4 weeks and your kitchen is unusable for most of that time.
- Cabinet refinishing delivers a comparable visual transformation for $900-$1,500 in 3-5 days. Your kitchen stays functional throughout — we work section by section. The finish lasts 10+ years with normal use.
- If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound (no water damage, no warping), refinishing is the smarter investment. Period.

Is cabinet refinishing as durable as new cabinets?

Can you refinish cabinets with water damage or warping?
Minor surface damage can typically be repaired during the refinishing process. However, if cabinet boxes have structural water damage, significant warping, or delamination, replacement of those specific pieces may be more appropriate. We’ll be honest about this during your free assessment.
Do you update cabinet hardware too?
Yes. We can install new hardware during the refinishing process. New knobs and pulls combined with a fresh finish create a dramatic transformation.
