Is it time to update dated cabinets without tearing your kitchen down to the studs?
New doors, drawer fronts, and veneer go over your existing boxes. The structure stays put.

It's a direct answer to the cabinet refacing cost question most Lakeland homeowners start with: refacing runs a fraction of replacement because the boxes stay.

Why choose us
Why choose Lakeland Cabinet Refacing
Boxes assessed before we quote
Lakeland Cabinet Refacing checks box condition in person, so the estimate matches what's actually under the old doors.
Materials picked for humid kitchens
Moisture-resistant veneers and sealed edges are chosen for cabinets near sinks and dishwashers, where Lakeland's humidity does the most damage.
Refacing-only focus
This isn't an upsell tacked onto a bigger remodel. Lakeland Cabinet Refacing treats refacing as the whole job, which keeps pricing and scheduling tighter.
Written estimates, no guesswork
You get a clear scope and number before anything starts. Add-ons get discussed, not slipped into the invoice.

Cabinet Refacing Cost in Lakeland, FL
Price depends mostly on three things: how many boxes need new faces, what door material you choose, and whether hardware gets upgraded along the way. These are ballpark ranges, not a fixed quote. Call for a free estimate based on your actual kitchen, not a range.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Door-only swap | $2,500–$5,500 | replacement doors and drawer fronts on solid boxes, existing hardware reused. |
| Standard full refacing | $5,500–$9,500 | veneer on all exposed box surfaces plus new doors and drawer fronts. |
| Full refacing with hardware upgrade | $7,500–$12,000 | adds soft-close hinges and slides across the kitchen. |
| Vanity or small project | $1,200–$3,500 | one or two boxes, bathroom or small kitchen scope. |
These are typical local ballparks — final cost depends on scope, materials, and site conditions. A free estimate gives you an accurate, itemized number for your home.

Materials and Methods We Use
Material choice is where Lakeland's humidity gets factored in directly. These six options cover most refacing jobs:
Wood Veneer Sheets
Thin wood veneers go over existing boxes for a natural look. Sealed properly, they hold up better near Lakeland sinks and dishwashers than unsealed laminate.
Laminate Finishes
A durable, easy-to-clean surface at a lower cost point. Good fit for boxes not directly exposed to splash zones.
Solid Wood Doors
New solid wood doors replace old fronts for better durability than MDF, which tends to swell faster in humid kitchens.
Cabinet Hardware
Knobs, pulls, and hinges matched to the new style, often swapped for corrosion-resistant finishes given Florida's air moisture.
Soft-Close Hinges
Quiet, controlled closing, and a mechanical upgrade worth adding whenever doors are already off the boxes.
Protective Topcoat
A clear sealant layer that protects finished surfaces, the step most DIY jobs skip and the one that matters most here.

5 out of 5 starsPrice was way more affordable than the other quotes we got for soft-close hinge & hardware upgrades. Still felt premium — clean jobsite, solid finish, and I'd hire them again without thinking twice.

5 out of 5 starsCalled Lakeland Cabinet Refacing after a neighbor tip in Lakeland. Super easy to deal with — clear answers, no runaround, and they actually cared about the details on our cabinet painting / refinishing.

Common questions
Cabinet Refacing FAQs
What is the standard size for kitchen cabinets?
Base cabinets typically run 34.5 inches tall and 24 inches deep, with upper cabinets around 12-18 inches deep. Refacing works within these existing dimensions, since the boxes stay put and only the faces change.
How much does it cost to redo cabinets?
Full replacement usually runs well above refacing, since you're paying for new boxes, not just new faces. Refacing keeps the structure and swaps doors, drawer fronts, and veneer, which is why it lands in a lower range for most Lakeland kitchens.
What kitchen cabinet colors will look outdated in 2026?
Heavy honey-oak tones and high-gloss thermofoil whites are fading out. Warm whites, soft greens, and two-tone combinations (dark lower, light upper) are the direction most homeowners are picking instead.
How much does Cabinet Refacing cost in Lakeland?
Most jobs fall between $2,500 and $12,000 depending on box count, door material, and hardware upgrades. See the cost section below for tier ranges, or call for a number based on your actual kitchen.
How long does Cabinet Refacing take?
A typical kitchen runs one to three weeks from the first measurement to final install, with most of that time being door fabrication lead time, not on-site work.
Do I need a permit for Cabinet Refacing?
Standard door, drawer front, and veneer refacing usually doesn't require a permit in Polk County. Layout changes or moving plumbing and electrical do. Check the permits section below.
Is DIY Cabinet Refacing a good idea?
DIY paint kits and stock doors work fine for solid, cosmetic-only boxes. Once there's hidden moisture damage or odd box dimensions, a mismatched DIY job usually costs more to fix than a pro quote would have.
