Cabinet Installation & Refacing in Orlando, FL

Cabinet Installation & Refacing in Orlando, FL

Cabinet installation and refacing in Orlando runs between $4,000 and $18,000 depending on kitchen size, cabinet condition, and material choice, with most projects completed in 3 to 7 days. Refacing typically costs 40 to 50 percent less than full replacement while giving your kitchen a completely new look. Mason Remodeling Co Orlando handles both paths, and every project starts the same way: a written price before any work begins, and a named technician you’ll recognize at your door. Call us at (850) 920-7745 to talk through your kitchen. If you’re exploring a larger project, our Kitchen Remodeling in Orlando page covers the full scope of what we do.

Orlando kitchens face real conditions that affect cabinetry. Humidity swells MDF and particleboard over time. Laminate peels at the edges where steam from the stove meets the cabinet face. In older neighborhoods like College Park, Delaney Park, and Thornton Park, we see original 1950s and 60s cabinets with solid wood frames that are perfect candidates for refacing. In newer builds across Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips, and Winter Park, homeowners often replace builder-grade boxes entirely because the interiors have warped past saving.

Isaac Pruett leads our Orlando team. He’s spent two decades in residential construction and keeps the same rule on every cabinet job: never start until the homeowner has a written price and knows exactly who is walking through the door.

When You Need Cabinet Installation & Refacing

You may not need a full kitchen gut. Here are the concrete signs that point to installation or refacing, based on what we see across Orlando homes every week:

• Doors sag or won’t close flush. Humidity in Orlando breaks down hinge mounts over time, especially on particleboard. If the box itself is still square, refacing with new doors and hardware solves it without tearing out the kitchen.
• Laminate is peeling or bubbling. Steam from cooking and Florida moisture eventually separates laminate from the substrate. This is cosmetic damage on an otherwise stable cabinet, which refacing handles well.
• Interior shelves are bowing or water-stained. Once the interior is compromised, replacement is the honest answer. Refacing covers the outside; it can’t fix a rotting carcass.
• Your layout no longer works. If you’re tripping over a peninsula in a Baldwin Park bungalow or the corner cabinet in an Altamonte Springs kitchen eats half your storage, new installation gives you the chance to reconfigure.
• You’re selling soon and the kitchen dates the house. We regularly reface cabinets for realtors and homeowners in the Conway and Audubon Park areas before listing. It’s the single highest-impact kitchen upgrade for the money.
• The cabinet face style is simply outdated. Oak-arched doors from the 90s, honey-colored finishes, dated hardware. Refacing swaps all of it while keeping your countertops and layout intact.

Our Cabinet Installation & Refacing Process

Every cabinet project follows the same sequence. You’ll know the price, who’s coming, and what happens each day. Here’s how we work:

1. In-home measurement and material discussion. We measure every run, check for level floors and plumb walls, and talk through door styles and finishes. We’ll show you samples from KraftMaid and Wellborn for installed cabinets, and discuss refacing veneers and finishes that work in a humid climate.
2. Written price delivered before any work starts. No verbal ballpark that grows later. You get a line-item written price covering materials, labor, hardware, and disposal. You approve it before we order anything.
3. Ordering and lead time. Depending on the cabinet line and finish, materials take 2 to 6 weeks to arrive. We coordinate delivery so the boxes aren’t sitting in your garage for a month.
4. Prep and protection. We seal off the work area, protect your floors and counters, and set up a contained work zone. If you have young children or pets, we’ll walk you through the containment setup before we start cutting.
5. Installation or refacing. For installation, we set the boxes, level and shim every run, hang doors, and adjust hardware until open and close feels right. For refacing, we remove old doors and drawer fronts, apply veneer to face frames, install new doors, and mount new hardware.
6. Walkthrough and written guarantee. We walk the kitchen with you, make any final adjustments, and hand you a written guarantee covering our workmanship for 365 days from the completion date. If something fails in that year, we return and fix it at no cost.

Cabinet Installation & Refacing Pricing in Orlando

Here are honest ranges for the Orlando market, based on kitchens we’ve measured and priced across the metro area this year. These figures include materials and labor, but every kitchen is different, so treat them as a starting point for self-qualification before you call.

Project Scope	Orlando Price Range	Typical Timeline
Refacing, small kitchen (10-12 cabinet doors)	$4,000 – $7,500	2-3 days
Refacing, full kitchen (20-30 cabinet doors), new hardware	$7,000 – $12,000	3-5 days
New cabinet installation, builder-grade stock line	$6,500 – $11,000	3-5 days
New cabinet installation, semi-custom (KraftMaid, Wellborn)	$11,000 – $18,000	5-7 days
Full replacement plus countertop coordination (surfaces from Cambria or Silestone)	$16,000 – $25,000+	7-10 days

What moves the price? Cabinet count and layout complexity matter most. An L-shaped kitchen with an island and 28 doors costs more than a galley with 12. Refacing is less expensive because the boxes stay in place; you’re paying for veneer, doors, hinges, and labor. But refacing only works when the boxes are sound. If the frames are chipped, water-damaged, or the interior shelves are failing, we’ll tell you straight, and we’ll price replacement instead of selling you a veneer that won’t last.

Door style and finish also change the number. Painted finishes, custom colors, and solid wood door faces cost more than standard thermofoil or laminate options. Hardware adds $3 to $25 per piece depending on what you pick.

We give free estimates on every cabinet job. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll schedule a measurement at a time that works for you, including evenings and weekends.

The Threshold Standard: Who Shows Up at Your Door

We have a name for how we handle every visit, and we call it The Threshold Standard. It’s a named, trademarked process that has defined Mason Remodeling since 2004, when the company was founded as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies. Here’s what it means for you on a cabinet installation or refacing project.

Before any technician arrives, you receive their name and photo. A live person calls to confirm your appointment time, and you’ll know who is coming before the van pulls up. When they arrive, they’re in a clean, marked uniform and they show a photo ID badge at the door. Not just a name tag. A photo ID, matched to the name and photo you already received.

Every crew member is background-checked and identity-verified before they ever set foot in a customer’s home. No subcontractor roulette. No “someone from our team might show up.” You know exactly who is in your kitchen, and you know before they arrive.

We built this standard for a specific reason. Homeowners who are often home alone, parents with young kids, and older adults treat the front door as a real safety decision. A remodel is an invitation into your home, and you have a right to know who is accepting it. Isaac Pruett has run Mason Remodeling Co Orlando on this principle since day one, and it applies to every single job, no exceptions.

Refacing vs. Replacement: How to Choose

The honest answer depends on what’s inside your cabinets, not what’s on the face. Here’s our field test, and it’s the same one we walk through on every Orlando estimate.

Refacing makes sense when: the cabinet boxes are square and dry, the interiors aren’t stained or warped, the hinges still hold, and you’re happy with your current layout. Refacing lets you change the entire visible look: door style, finish, hinges, handles, and even add soft-close mechanisms. Your kitchen stays functional during the work because the boxes never move. In a neighborhood like Colonialtown or Thornton Park where kitchens share walls with the living room, refacing is less disruptive than a full teardown.

Replacement makes sense when: the interiors are shot. Warped shelves, swollen MDF, water stains under the sink, laminate peeling on the inside, or frames that have shifted out of square. If the box is failing, no veneer will save it. Replacement also gives you layout freedom: you can add an island, deepen a pantry, or convert a cabinet run into drawers. If you’re changing countertops anyway, replacement pairs naturally with surfaces from Cambria or Silestone, and we’ll coordinate the fabrication schedule so the cabinets and counters land in the right order.

We’ll give you our recommendation during the measurement visit, and we’ll explain it in plain language. If refacing is the honest choice, we’ll say so. If replacement is the honest choice, we’ll say that too, and we’ll show you the numbers for both so you can decide.

Materials That Hold Up in Florida Humidity

Orlando’s climate is not optional when it comes to cabinet material selection. We’ve seen what happens when the wrong product goes into a kitchen that sees nine months of humidity per year. Here’s what we specify and why.

For installed cabinets, we work with KraftMaid and Wellborn. Both lines offer plywood box construction as an upgrade, which matters in Orlando. Plywood holds fasteners and hinges longer than particleboard and resists the swelling that comes with seasonal humidity changes. The upcharge is real but modest, usually $600 to $1,200 on a full kitchen, and it directly extends cabinet life in this climate.

For refacing, the veneer matters. We use rigid thermofoil (RTF) and wood veneers appropriate for humid environments. RTF is a single-piece vinyl laminate that seals the door completely, which means no exposed edges for moisture to penetrate. Wood veneer looks more natural but requires factory-applied finishes with sealed edges. We’ll show you samples of both and explain the tradeoff for your specific kitchen.

When a project includes new countertops alongside the cabinets, we coordinate with fabricators who carry Cambria and Silestone quartz lines. Quartz doesn’t absorb water the way natural stone can without sealing, which makes it a practical choice for Orlando kitchens where spills sit and humidity is constant.

What the 365-Day Done Right Promise Covers

Every cabinet installation and refacing project from Mason Remodeling Co Orlando is covered by a written guarantee for 365 days from the completion date. Here is exactly what that means, in plain words.

If any part of our installation or refacing fails within that year due to our workmanship or materials we supplied, we return and make it right at no cost to you. That includes doors that come out of alignment, hinges that fail, veneer that lifts, drawer slides that bind, or hardware that loosens. No dispute process. No conditions. You call, we schedule the return visit, and we fix it.

If a repair or installation fails and we haven’t resolved it to your satisfaction, you get a free second visit. Always. That’s not a promotion, not a favor, and never waived.

The written guarantee states exactly what is covered, what is excluded, and for how long. You’ll have it in hand before we start, not after we’re done. We apply this same standard across every trade we perform, which you can see in our home page’s full service overview.

What the guarantee does not cover is normal wear and tear on finishes, damage from leaks or flooding unrelated to our work, or damage from misuse. Those exclusions are stated plainly on the document. But if our installation fails, that’s on us, and we own it for a full year.

FAQs – Cabinet Installation & Refacing

How much does cabinet refacing cost in Orlando?

Cabinet refacing in Orlando typically costs between $4,000 and $12,000 depending on kitchen size, door count, and finish selection. Small kitchens with 10 to 12 doors run $4,000 to $7,500, while full kitchens with 20 to 30 doors and upgraded hardware run $7,000 to $12,000. Call (850) 920-7745 for an exact written quote, free of charge.

Is it cheaper to reface or replace kitchen cabinets?

Refacing costs 40 to 50 percent less than full replacement because the cabinet boxes stay in place and you’re only paying for new doors, veneer, hinges, and labor. In Orlando, that means most refacing projects land between $4,000 and $12,000, while full replacement typically runs $6,500 to $18,000. If your boxes are sound, refacing saves real money; call us at (850) 920-7745 and we’ll assess yours honestly.

How long does cabinet installation or refacing take in Orlando?

Most cabinet refacing projects finish in 2 to 5 days, while full installation takes 3 to 7 days depending on cabinet count and layout complexity. Material lead times add 2 to 6 weeks before the install date, which we coordinate during the written estimate so the boxes aren’t sitting in your garage. For a timeline specific to your kitchen, call (850) 920-7745.

Can you reface cabinets without replacing the countertops?

Yes, refacing works from the cabinet face only, so your existing countertops, backsplash, and flooring stay untouched in almost every case. If the countertops are also being replaced, we can coordinate both scopes and sequence the work so the new cabinets and surfaces from lines like Cambria or Silestone land in the correct order. Call (850) 920-7745 to discuss your kitchen layout.

Will I know who is coming to my home for the cabinet work?

Yes. Every technician from Mason Remodeling Co Orlando is background-checked, identity-verified, and introduced to you by name and photo before the visit. They arrive in a clean, marked uniform and show a photo ID badge at the door, matching the name and photo you already received. This is our Threshold Standard, and it applies to every appointment without exception.
