When kitchen cabinet refacing is the right call
Kitchen cabinet refacing is the right call when the boxes are sound but the fronts are the problem. Three situations point to refacing over painting or refinishing.
The thermofoil is peeling, bubbling, or yellowing
Thermofoil fronts can peel, bubble, or yellow near stoves and dishwashers after years of heat. Paint cannot reattach a film that is lifting away from the door, which is why damaged thermofoil is usually refaced rather than painted.
You want a different door style
Painting and refinishing keep the door profile you already have. Arched tops and raised panels stay arched and raised, only in a new colour. Refacing is the only one of the three that changes the shape, for example from arched oak to a flat slab front like the render above.
The boxes are worth keeping
New fronts go on old boxes, so those boxes need to be solid. Solid wood boxes in 1980s and 1990s homes are usually sound. If the boxes are damaged or the layout has to change, new cabinets are the better spend.

| Dated colour on solid doors | Painting | $2,800 to $6,000 | The door style stays and the colour changes. |
| Worn or chipped wood finish | Refinishing | $5,500 to $14,000 | Stripping removes the damaged finish. |
| New layout or damaged boxes | New cabinets | $20,000 to $40,000+ | The boxes themselves have to change. |

When painting or refinishing beats refacing
Painting or refinishing beats refacing when you like the doors you have. Cabinet painting costs $2,800 to $6,000 in Sherwood Park and refinishing costs $5,500 to $14,000, both below the $13,000 starting point for refacing.
Solid oak doors in a style you still like do not need new fronts. Cabinet refinishing strips the dated finish, fills the grain, and sprays a new colour in about 5 to 7 days.
Laminate and melamine doors in good condition are another case. With a bonding primer they can be painted, and kitchen cabinet painting costs a fraction of refacing.
If you are weighing flat-pack doors on your current boxes, read whether IKEA kitchen doors fit existing cabinets before ordering anything.

Questions
Kitchen cabinet refacing questions
How much does cabinet refacing cost in Sherwood Park?
Cabinet refacing in Sherwood Park costs $13,000 to $26,000. The written quote confirms where your kitchen falls in that range and sets the schedule.
How long does kitchen cabinet refacing take?
Kitchen cabinet refacing timelines are set at the quote, because no standard figure is published for this service. For comparison, a full cabinet replacement means about 4 to 8 weeks of demolition and construction.
Is cabinet resurfacing the same as refacing?
Cabinet resurfacing and cabinet refacing usually describe the same job: new doors and drawer fronts fitted to the cabinet boxes you already have. Ask for the scope in writing so you know exactly what is being replaced.
Can peeling thermofoil cabinets be painted?
Peeling thermofoil is usually refaced rather than painted. Film that has bubbled or lifted near a stove or dishwasher does not give paint a stable surface, so new fronts are the practical fix.
Is refacing cheaper than new cabinets?
Kitchen cabinet refacing at $13,000 to $26,000 usually costs less than new cabinets at $20,000 to $40,000 or more, although the ranges overlap. Refacing also skips the demolition, new boxes, and countertop refitting that replacement involves.
