These estimates are based on CabDoor Direct's Pre-primed Shaker doors and drawer fronts. If you plan to replace your doors and drawer fronts, buying CabDoor Directs Painted Doors instead or Pre-primed Doors should actually reduce your painting labor costs by eliminating the time-consuming prep and repair of your existing doors. Buying CabDoor Direct’s Painted Doors provides a factory quality industrial finish to your project.

Labor accounts for over 65% of the total kitchen painting/refacing project cost. Buying Painted Doors from CabDoor Direct could be another savings worth exploring, particularly if you are thinking of this as a DIY project. Labor rates vary significantly by region, so your final project cost may differ from the values in our estimator.

BEFORE YOU BUDGET

Hidden Costs to Watch For

Most estimates don't include these two common cost additions. Plan ahead so your project stays on budget.

Color Matching

If your existing cabinet box frames do not closely match the factory finish of your new doors, the frames may need to be painted or touched up. This can add approximately $500 to $1,500, depending on kitchen size.

Estimated Add-On: $500–$1,500

Hinge Compatibility

Older cabinet boxes may use outdated or exposed hinges. If the face frames need to be modified for modern concealed soft-close hinges, extra labor may be added per opening.
