Strong Resale Return

Updated cabinets contribute roughly 60% to 70% of the resale return on a kitchen remodel, the largest single component per industry research.

50-Year Lifespan

Long Lifespan

Quality plywood-box cabinets last 25 to 50 years. Solid wood doors with good hinges can outlast the rest of your kitchen and be refinished multiple times.

35% More Storage

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Stock and semi-custom cabinet installs take 2 to 4 days for a typical 10x10 kitchen, plus 4 to 8 weeks of lead time for the cabinets to be built and shipped. Full custom cabinets take 8 to 16 weeks of lead time and 3 to 5 days of installation. Refacing finishes in 2 to 4 days with no lead time. Painting in place takes 4 to 7 days and you cannot use the kitchen during cure time.

Stock cabinets cost $80 to $200 per linear foot and come in fixed sizes and finishes, available in 1 to 2 weeks. Semi-custom at $150 to $400 per linear foot let you tweak sizes, add accessories, and pick from 50 plus finishes. Fully custom at $400 to $800 plus per linear foot let you build any size, any species, any finish. Most US kitchens use semi-custom for the price-to-flexibility ratio.

Repaint at $1,500 to $4,000 if your cabinet boxes are solid and you only want a color change. Reface at $4,000 to $12,000 if you want new door styles and finishes but the boxes are still solid plywood. Replace at $5,000 to $30,000 if your boxes are particle board, the layout does not work, or you want soft-close hardware throughout. Particle board boxes that are over 15 years old usually fail before paint or refacing pays off.

Plywood boxes are stronger, hold screws better, and resist water damage if a leak happens under the sink. They cost 15% to 30% more than particle board. Particle board with melamine coating is the standard in stock cabinets and works fine for 20 to 30 years if you avoid water exposure. For kitchens with a dishwasher, sink, or fridge with ice maker, plywood is the smarter long-term call.

Yes, almost always. Soft-close hinges add $5 to $15 per door and roughly $200 to $500 across a full kitchen. Full-extension drawer slides add $10 to $25 per drawer and let you reach the back of every drawer instead of the front 60%. Both upgrades are standard in semi-custom cabinets and are well worth specifying if you go with stock. They make daily use noticeably better and last as long as the cabinets themselves.

Yes, if done right. Factory-finished painted cabinets carry 5 to 10 year warranties and hold up better than on-site painting. On-site painting by a pro with a HVLP sprayer and proper primer holds up 5 to 10 years before chipping near high-use areas like the trash pull-out. DIY brush-and-roller painting usually starts chipping in 1 to 3 years. Budget $1,500 to $4,000 for a pro spray job on a typical kitchen.

Yes, completely. Most contractors require all dishes, food, and utensils removed before they arrive, since they will be removing doors, drawers, and sometimes whole cabinet boxes. Plan to live out of boxes for 1 to 3 weeks during a full replacement and 3 to 5 days during refacing. A garage staging area or temporary kitchen setup with a folding table works for most homeowners.
