Have you thought about refinishing your cabinets? Cabinet refinishing is a great, affordable way to bring back the beauty of your cabinets and make your kitchen look incredible. However, it’s good to have a cost expectation for a project like this, so here’s what cabinet refinishing in Solano County looks like.
A Cost Guide to Refinish Your Cabinets
The cost of cabinet refinishing varies widely depending on where you live and the size of your project since one of the biggest factors is the price of materials and labor. Whatever the size of your project, though, the costs will typically include:
- Site preparation- Includes cleaning cabinets and getting rid of dirt, grime, wax, and grease, and taping off floors and existing counters to protect them.
- Damage Repair- Includes repairing scratches, dents, and other damage that the cabinets have. More damage repairs have a higher cost.
- Cost of Materials- Includes the cost of the finish and the labor to complete the project. More cabinets lead to higher costs.
According to HomeAdvisor.com, cabinet refinishing jobs typically start as low as $2,000. Different upgrades involving finishing techniques, like antiquing or glazing, can also raise your final price. Other costs to include may be replacing hardware, like knobs or drawer pulls, as well as putting in soft-close hinges. Despite this, however, cabinet refinishing in Solano County is a much more affordable option compared to replacing them completely.

The answer to this depends on what you’re wanting from your kitchen. Cabinets that are stained bring a more rustic, warm aesthetic. Cabinets that are painted can deliver a large range of different styles and feels, from contemporary to traditional. When it comes to cost, though, Refinishing cabinets usually is less expensive than repainting your cabinets.
- Should I Replace My Cabinets with New Ones Instead?
If cost isn’t a worry, you may consider replacing your cabinets completely. But what we’ve found is that a higher quality is found in older cabinets compared to cabinets that are produced today. If your cabinets are older, it may be worth maintaining their integrity and refinishing them, giving them a great, new look.
Refinishing your cabinets instead of cabinet replacement also allows you to make these changes without changing your countertops, which also can save you money. This allows you to use that money for a new backsplash, paint for your kitchen, new decor, new appliances, or whatever else you may need.
- What About Cabinet Refacing?
Refacing your cabinets is another great option if you’re not looking to spend a lot. Refacing involves replacing the cabinet doors and drawer front with custom-made ones. This allows you to choose from a variety of door styles and colors, both painted and stained. While it is still cheaper than a complete replacement, refacing is more expensive than refinishing, so ask N-Hance of Solano County to talk more about what’ll be best for you.
