What makes kitchen cabinet refacing different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal homes often have dated oak or builder-grade cabinets that are still structurally sound, just sun-faded and salt-worn. Refacing in Coronado, Imperial Beach, and Del Mar trades a marine-grade RTF or paint-grade door for the original, swaps hinges to soft-close, and adds new hardware. The result is a new look without demo and without disturbing the existing plumbing walls.

Coastal homes often have dated oak or builder-grade cabinets that are still structurally sound, just sun-faded and salt-worn.
How much does kitchen cabinet refacing cost in San Diego?
Most San Diego cabinet refacing jobs run $8,000-$22,000 depending on the number of doors, the door style, and any layout changes. A 30-door kitchen with shaker doors in a paint-grade finish lands around $12,000-$16,000. Custom door styles, glass inserts, and full-overlay push it higher.
Is cabinet refinishing the same as cabinet refacing?
No. Refinishing sands and re-stains or repaints the doors you already have, so the style and layout stay the same. Refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts and applies fresh veneer to the boxes, so the style, color, and hardware all change together. The crews we match you with handle refacing and full cabinet replacement, not stain-only refinishing. If the boxes are solid and you want a different look rather than the same look restored, refacing is the better value.
