How can I save money on my kitchen renovation?

Kitchen renovations are a high-impact facelift for your home- adding modernity and value, but the price can easily climb towards $100,000. If you’re interested in giving your home a new look without a big price tag, consider refinishing your cabinets instead of replacing and refacing them.

Refinishing your existing cabinetry will cost one third what you will pay to replace, and about half the cost of refacing. 

At Craine Painting, we understand that a fresh finish can make a big impact, and want you to get a bang for your buck! We’ve priced out a few ways to get new looking cabinets: total replacement, refacing, and refinishing. Refinishing your existing cabinetry will cost one third what you will pay to replace, and about half the cost of refacing.

As of 2026, our current refinishing prices start at $143 per linear foot (a horizontal measurement of the length of your cabinets). Our base price includes primer and top coat(s) to achieve a single color finish. The products we use will be chosen to fit the desired color, wood species, and durability. We offer “all-in” pricing that includes all prep, finishes, and clean up- no surprise disposal or installation fees here!

We can’t wait to help you create your dream kitchen! If you’re looking for more information about our process, we recommend this YouTube playlist. And reach out with kitchen cabinet questions to Michael@Crainepaintingllc.com.
