Orlando asks more of a kitchen than most Central Florida markets. Two-tone layouts, specialty finishes, and a general expectation that the room looks designed rather than merely updated come up here constantly — in Winter Park, Dr. Phillips, Lake Nona, and Windermere especially. Painting can change a color. It cannot change a raised-panel door into a shaker one, and for a lot of Orlando kitchens the profile is exactly what dates the room.
That is what refacing is for. You are selecting a new door rather than refinishing the one you have, so the profile, the material, and the finish are all open — and the boxes, which are the expensive part, stay where they are.
Size is the other factor. Frame refinishing is priced by the number of door and drawer openings, and the doors themselves are priced by the square foot, so the larger kitchens common in Windermere, Dr. Phillips, and Lake Nona sit higher in the range on both counts.
What kitchen cabinet refacing costs in Orlando
| Cabinet Refacing | Full replacement | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | $7,000–$12,000 | $12,000–$25,000+ |
Cabinet refacing is priced on two things. The frame refinishing is priced by the number of door and drawer openings. The doors themselves are built and priced by the square foot. What sets your number more than anything is the door you choose: flat slab HDF sits at the low end of the range, solid wood raised panels at the high end, and applied moldings add cost on top of whichever you pick.

Refacing is the only option that changes the door itself
There is a distinction that matters a great deal in Orlando and gets blurred almost everywhere else.
Painting changes the color of the doors you own. Refinishing changes their finish. Neither changes the door. If what dates your kitchen is a raised-panel profile with an arched top and a routed edge — which describes an enormous number of kitchens built here between the late 1990s and the mid 2000s — then color is not the problem and no finish solves it.
Refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts outright. You choose the profile, the material, and the finish, and the boxes you already own stay where they are. In a market where people want a kitchen that reads as designed rather than repainted, that is usually the honest answer.
On two-tone. Refacing gives you more control than painting does, because you are choosing the doors as well as the color they arrive in. The common split is a darker island against a lighter perimeter. The thing to know is that the eye goes straight to the boundary between the two, so any inconsistency shows up exactly there — which is an argument for finishing both tones the same way, in the same environment, rather than mixing approaches.
What size does to an Orlando refacing quote
Refacing is priced on two units. Refinishing the frames is priced by the number of door and drawer openings. The doors themselves are built and priced by the square foot. Kitchen size therefore moves both halves of the quote at once.
The larger kitchens common in Windermere, Dr. Phillips, and Lake Nona carry considerably more openings than a typical Winter Park bungalow, and every door is a physical product that gets made, finished, delivered, and hung. That is why the same service can land at $7,000 in one Orlando house and near $12,000 in another a few miles away, without either quote being wrong.
It is also why the comparison against replacement deserves care in this market. A large refacing quote can start to look close to a replacement number — and at that point it is worth understanding what a replacement price actually leaves out before assuming new cabinets are the better buy.
Before you accept any refacing quote, there are five questions worth asking — about door material and style, whether frames are laminated or painted, hardware, box condition, and the warranty.
Cabinet door replacement in a newer build
Plenty of Orlando kitchens have nothing structurally wrong with them. The boxes in a Lake Nona or Windermere build are often only a decade or two old and perfectly sound. What dates the room is the door — a builder-grade raised panel chosen to be inoffensive rather than to be liked.
Cabinet door replacement is how that gets fixed short of a remodel. The existing doors and drawer fronts leave permanently, new ones go on in the profile and finish you choose, and the boxes you already paid for stay exactly where they are.
Our process, and what it costs
Assessment and door selection first, then existing doors and hardware come off and leave, frames are prepared, and the frames are finished — painted for a solid color, veneered for a stained look. New doors and drawer fronts go on, hardware is installed, alignment and reveals are checked, and we walk the kitchen with you. The full refacing process covers each stage.
Getting a real number
Start with your ZIP code and a few short questions about your kitchen. We come back with real pricing, including which door styles suit what you have. No measuring, no appointment, and no salesperson at your counter.
What a Orlando homeowner said
★★★★★
“10 stars!! I brought in a wooden panel for my dishwasher that needed to be painted to match my kitchen that was installed 3 years ago. They sent me to Pinellas Paint who did phenomenal job matching the paint as well as the sheen. I brought the paint and panel to Premier Cabinets, fingers crossed... Wow! What a spectacular job they did!! They prepped, primed, sanded and coated my panel and it is perfect! It's an absolute perfect match! This is a very well run company and the people care about your satisfaction, which is rare now. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Viktor, you are awesome!”
Questions to ask cabinet refacing companies in Orlando
- Can I change my cabinet door style with refacing?
- Yes, and that is the main reason to choose refacing over painting. Shaker, flat-front, raised-panel, beaded inset, and arched are all available in solid wood or MDF, painted or stained. If a raised-panel door is what dates your kitchen, no amount of paint changes that, and refacing does.
- Can you do a two-tone kitchen with refacing?
- Yes, and refacing gives you more control over it than painting does, because you are choosing the doors as well as the finish. The usual split is a darker island against a lighter perimeter. Worth knowing that the eye lands on the line where the two meet, so consistency matters most exactly there — which is an argument for having both finished the same way rather than mixing methods.
- What does cabinet refacing cost in Orlando?
- Most kitchens fall between $7,000 and $12,000, and the door you choose moves that number more than anything else. Flat slab HDF sits at the low end, solid wood raised panels at the high end, and applied moldings add cost on top of either. Size matters too: frame refinishing is priced by the number of door and drawer openings, and the doors are priced by the square foot, so the larger kitchens common in Windermere, Dr. Phillips, and Lake Nona sit higher in the range.
- Do you laminate the cabinet frames?
- Not for a painted kitchen. Most refacing companies laminate frames when the finish is a solid color. We paint them instead, because painted frames look better than laminated ones, hold up longer, and cost less than lamination. For a stained kitchen the frames are veneered in a matching stain.
- Should I reface or replace my Orlando cabinets?
- If the boxes are structurally sound, refacing gets you the new door style without paying to replace structure that still has years left in it. Replacement earns its cost when the boxes are failing, when there is water damage, or when the layout has to change. If your refacing quote is landing at the top of the range, it is worth pricing replacement too, and we will tell you when that is the more sensible spend.
- Do you serve Winter Park, Lake Nona, and Windermere?
- Yes. We cover Orlando and the surrounding communities, including Winter Park, Dr. Phillips, Lake Nona, Windermere, Celebration, and Ocoee. Call (727) 280-5575 to confirm coverage at your address.
- How long does cabinet refacing take?
- Days rather than weeks, because the boxes stay in place the entire time and the kitchen is never gutted. Larger kitchens run longer simply because there are more doors and drawer fronts to make, finish, and hang.
- What if refacing is not the right choice for my kitchen?
- Then we will say so. We assess what you have and tell you whether painting, refinishing, refacing, or replacement actually fits it, including when the answer is not the service you called about. We would rather lose a job than sell you the more expensive version of the wrong thing.
