How to Estimate Cabinent Refacing

Re-facing your cabinets can be costly, but proper research can keep prices down. If you carefully catalog all the prices for the material and labor components of the re-facing job, you can estimate the cost of the procedure. You should discuss your estimate with the licensed contractors you're considering to hire for the job and come to an agreement on the price.

Instructions

- 1
  Shop around for your own materials so you have the exact cost of each item. Include a price for new doors, handles, varnishes, hinges and hardware. Write down the prices of all the materials, double checking the price to ensure you don't accidentally record a sale price that will rise later.
- 2
  Contact a licensed contractor willing to undertake your re-facing job. Request to have an appraiser estimate the work cost in your home. A full inspection of the kitchen ensures the contracting company knows what the job entails and allows them to create the best labor estimate.
- 3
  Request a full breakdown list of the fees from the contracting company. The estimate should not include the cost of materials if you will purchase them yourself. Hold the contractor to this budget throughout construction so they don't try to sneak in extra service fees.
- 4
  Add the cost of labor to the cost of materials. This gives you the overall cost estimate for the re-facing job.
