Kitchen Remodeling
Cabinet Refacing vs. Replacement in Northern Virginia
Not every kitchen needs new cabinet boxes. If the existing boxes are square, solid, and in the right layout, refacing — new doors, drawer fronts, and matching veneer — gets a new look for less than a full replacement. If the boxes are damaged or the layout is changing, replacement makes more sense. Kitchen Kings evaluates your existing cabinetry on-site before recommending either.

Cabinet Refacing vs. Replacement questions
How much does cabinet refacing vs. replacement cost?▸
The typical Northern Virginia reference range is $8,000–$25,000. We help you decide what's worth replacing and what's worth refacing. Your price depends on scope, materials and site conditions. Request an estimate for a number specific to your project.
Who actually does the work?▸
Kitchen Kings is a division of Kenney Construction — the same licensed, insured, and bonded company (VA DPOR #2705187519) handles the work, not a subcontracted third party.
What areas do you serve?▸
Herndon, Reston, Great Falls, McLean, Vienna, Ashburn, Sterling, Aldie, Oakton, Chantilly, Centreville, and South Riding, Virginia.
What are your hours?▸
Monday – Saturday, 8:30 AM – 6:00 PM.
Do you provide written estimates?▸
Yes — every project gets a written scope so you know what's included before work starts.
Should I reface my cabinets or replace them?▸
If the existing cabinet boxes are square, solid, and in a layout you want to keep, refacing — new doors, drawer fronts, and matching veneer — costs less than full replacement. If the boxes are damaged or the layout is changing, replacement makes more sense. We evaluate your cabinets on-site before recommending either.
Do I need to move out during a kitchen remodel?▸
It depends on scope. A full remodel typically leaves the kitchen unusable for part of the project, while a targeted update (countertops, refacing) usually doesn't. We'll walk through what to expect for your specific project before work starts.
What's the difference between a full remodel and a kitchen update?▸
A full remodel changes the layout, cabinetry, countertops, and finishes together as one project. A kitchen update targets specific elements — like countertops or cabinet refacing — without changing the layout.
How do I request a kitchen estimate?▸
