FAQs about Cabinet Installation

• Should I reface or replace kitchen cabinets?

  Reface if your cabinet boxes are in good structural condition and you're happy with the layout. Refacing replaces doors, drawer fronts, and applies new veneer to the visible surfaces of existing boxes — it costs $4,000–$10,000 vs. $10,000–$40,000+ for full replacement. Replace if boxes are damaged, if you want to change the layout, or if you're adding features like soft-close hinges, pull-out shelves, or different-sized cabinets. Refacing saves 40–60% over replacement and takes 3–5 days vs. 2–4 weeks for new cabinets.

• What is the difference between stock, semi-custom, and custom cabinets?

  Stock cabinets come in standard sizes and finishes, are available quickly (days to 2 weeks), and cost $75–$250 per linear foot installed. Semi-custom cabinets offer more size options, wood species, and finish choices with 4–8 week lead times at $150–$500 per linear foot. Custom cabinets are built to exact specifications in a local shop — any size, material, or design — with 8–16 week lead times at $500–$1,200+ per linear foot. For most kitchens, semi-custom offers the best balance of customization and value.
