How long does kitchen cabinet refacing take?
3-5 days of work. Permit review and inspection scheduling are usually the largest source of variation.
What changes the price the most?
The largest cost drivers are linear feet of cabinetry and door count; veneer, thermofoil or solid wood fronts; new soft-close hardware.
