What cabinet refinishing typically costs in the Twin Cities
Refinishing typically costs 50–70% less than replacing the same cabinets, and your kitchen layout stays exactly as it is.
Small kitchen (up to 15 doors)
$2,500 – $3,800
Doors, drawer fronts, and boxes in a factory-smooth sprayed enamel.
Standard kitchen (15–30 doors)
$3,800 – $6,000
The most common Twin Cities kitchen size.
Large kitchen or kitchen + island + bath vanity
$6,000 – $9,500
Multiple rooms or extended cabinetry runs.
Typical projects often fall within these ranges, but they are not quotes. Project pricing varies by size, prep, repairs, access, and coatings — your on-site estimate provides the final written price.
What affects your final quote
- Project size
- Surface condition and repairs
- Prep requirements
- Product and coating selection
- Access and site conditions
- Number of coats and color changes
- Doors and drawer fronts come off, get numbered, and are sprayed off-site or in a controlled setup — not brushed in place.
- Boxes and face frames are degreased, sanded, and sprayed on site with containment so the rest of the house stays clean.
- Benjamin Moore Advance and comparable waterborne alkyds give the hard, self-leveling finish cabinets need.
What affects cabinet refinishing cost
Surface condition
Heavy grease, worn edges, peeling factory finish or water damage near the sink all add prep.
Prep and repairs
Grain filling on oak, loose door repairs and hardware changes are priced as line items.
Size and access
Door and drawer count, island size, glass fronts and tall uppers drive labor more than kitchen size alone.
Coating system
Cabinet-grade enamel costs more than wall paint and needs cure time between coats — that's what makes it last.
Timeline and scheduling
Most kitchens run several working days; a hard deadline may change how doors and boxes are sequenced.
Pricing guidance is not a binding quote. Your written estimate identifies the work included, preparation, materials, timeline and warranty.

- Most kitchen cabinet refinishing projects in the Twin Cities fall in the $3,500–$7,500 range depending on door count, door style (raised panel vs. shaker vs. slab), color change (white-to-white vs. dark-to-light), and whether boxes get sprayed in place or brushed. Free written estimates for every Vadnais Heights, Roseville, and Shoreview kitchen, broken out by doors, boxes, and any glaze or accent work.
- Typical kitchen turnaround is 5–8 working days from start to finish. Day 1 we remove and label doors and degrease every surface with TSP-substitute. Days 2–3 are sand, fill grain (if oak), and apply a bonding primer. Days 4–6 are 2–3 sprayed coats of Emerald Urethane on doors offsite while boxes get sprayed in place with masked-off counters and floors. Doors come back fully cured.
