How much does kitchen cabinet refacing cost in Ottawa?

On average, cabinet refacing in Ottawa costs 50-70% less than a full kitchen tear-out. While every project is custom, most homeowners in neighborhoods like Kanata and Orleans find that refacing offers a high-end transformation for a fraction of the price of new custom cabinetry, typically ranging from $4,000 to $9,000 depending on materials and kitchen size.

How long does a cabinet makeover take to complete?

Our professional installation team typically completes a standard Ottawa kitchen makeover in just 2 to 5 days. Unlike a full renovation that can leave your home in disarray for weeks, our refacing process allows you to maintain a functional kitchen with minimal disruption to your daily routine in areas like Barrhaven or Stittsville.

Do I need a building permit for kitchen refacing in Ottawa?

No, a building permit is generally not required for cabinet refacing or door replacement in Ottawa. Since we are updating the "skin" and hardware of your existing layout without moving plumbing, electrical, or structural walls, you can skip the City of Ottawa permit process and start your renovation immediately.

Can you replace doors on IKEA kitchens or other existing brands?

Yes! We specialize in providing custom-made, high-quality doors that are perfectly bored to fit IKEA Sektion or Akurum cabinets, as well as most other major brands. This is a popular "designer hack" for homeowners in Westboro and The Glebe who want a custom, luxury look on a standardized cabinet frame.

Is cabinet refacing better than painting my cabinets?

While painting is a low-cost surface update, refacing is a superior long-term investment. Refacing replaces the actual doors and drawer fronts with new, durable materials (like Lacquered Matte or Wood Veneer), which means you won't have to worry about the chipping, peeling, or "grain-soak" often associated with painted older cabinets in the Ottawa climate.
