Cabinet Refacing planned around your kitchen, with a written price before work starts.
Cabinet refacing gives the boxes you already have a new face: fresh veneer on the frames, new doors and drawer fronts, and new hardware.
Because nothing is torn out, the kitchen stays usable for most of the job and the cost is far below new cabinets.
About 49% of Reno homes are owner-occupied, and the median home value is around $498,600, so a well-planned kitchen protects a real investment.
We check the cabinet boxes first; refacing only makes sense if they are sound and dry.
Shaker, slab or raised-panel doors in the finish you pick.
Soft-close hinges and new pulls fitted to every door and drawer.
Price ranges we see in Nevada. Prices in Nevada run close to the US average.
| Item | Typical price | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet refacing (typical kitchen) | $4,500–$12,000 | per kitchen |
| Cabinet painting (typical kitchen) | $3,000–$7,500 | per kitchen |
| Semi-custom cabinets | $300–$650 | per linear foot |
These are typical ranges, not a quote. A visit gives you an exact written price. Try the cost calculator.

A kitchen gets used every day, so shortcuts show up fast: doors that sag, seams that open, outlets in the wrong place.
Get it right once and you will not be paying to fix it in five years.
Tell us about your kitchen and what is not working.
A visit to measure the room and hear how you use it.
A layout and a written quote broken down by cabinets, counters, labor and the rest.
Cabinets and counters are ordered and the work is booked around their delivery.
Demolition, rough-in work, inspections where required, then the install.
Backsplash, fixtures and details finished, then we walk the room with you.
Refacing does not change the layout. If you want more storage or a different shape, new cabinets are the better spend.
Water damage under the sink usually means that box should be replaced, even if the rest are refaced.
Kitchen work that changes plumbing, electrical or gas lines, or moves walls, needs a permit; cabinets, countertops and paint on their own usually do not.

For a medium kitchen in Nevada, a cosmetic refresh typically runs $11,500–$26,000, a pull-and-replace remodel $27,000–$61,000 and a custom remodel with layout changes $55,000–$129,000. Your exact price comes from a walkthrough and a written quote.
About 2–4 weeks for a refresh, 5–10 weeks for a pull-and-replace and 10–20 weeks for a custom remodel. Cabinet lead times are the biggest variable, so the clock usually starts once they are ordered.

Nevada requires a contractor license for work of $1,000 or more in labor and materials combined, and for any job that needs a building permit or involves plumbing, electrical, heating or air-conditioning work, whatever the price (NRS 624.031). You can look up any contractor on the Nevada State Contractors Board website before you sign.
