If you're planning a cabinet refacing project in Boston, the first question is almost always the same: what's this going to cost? The honest answer is that it depends — but that doesn't mean you should fly blind. Here's a realistic breakdown for Boston homeowners in 2026.
Typical cabinet refacing costs in Boston
Every job is different, but these are the services we're asked about most, with rough starting points:
- Kitchen Cabinet Refacing — $4,500 (est.)
- Cabinet Refinishing — $2,200 (est.)
- Cabinet Door & Drawer Front Replacement — $150/door (est.)
- Cabinet Hardware Upgrades — $8/piece installed (est.)
- Cabinet Painting — $3,500 (est.)
- Countertop Installation — $55/sq ft (est.)
Treat those as starting points, not quotes. The only way to know your real number is an on-site look.
What actually drives the price
- Scope and size. A small repair and a full replacement are different animals.
- Materials and finishes. Better materials cost more up front and usually last longer.
- Access and conditions. Boston's older buildings and tight access can add labor time.
- Permits and inspections. Some work requires Massachusetts permits, which we handle as part of the job.
