Replacing cabinet doors is one of the most effective ways to update a kitchen without starting from scratch. Whether your goal is to modernize the look, fix wear and tear, or match a new design, cabinet door replacement delivers a noticeable transformation without the high price of a full kitchen remodel.

The Benefits of Cabinet Door Replacements
Save Time and Money
Replacing only the cabinet doors costs far less than installing brand-new cabinets. You keep the existing boxes and update the visible surfaces. Most homeowners save 40 to 60% compared to a full replacement. It’s faster too; most projects take just a few days.
Customize the Appearance of your kitchen
If you love the current layout of your cabinets but want a fresh update, replacement cabinet doors are the easiest way to change cabinet color. New doors instantly transform the look and feel of your kitchen, giving you the freedom to choose from shaker, flat-panel, or raised-panel designs in a variety of finishes, colors, and materials. Whether it's a fresh coat of paint, a pop of color, or a rich wood stain, you can customize your space to match your style. Add modern hardware to complete the look and enjoy a kitchen that feels brand new, without the cost or hassle of a full remodel.
Quick and easy Process
Gutting your entire kitchen and starting from scratch can take days, even weeks. Cabinet door replacements are a quick and easy option that won't disrupt your space or impact your daily routine. You can even get help from friends or family and make this a simple DIY installation in a day or two.
What is the Cost to Replace Cabinet Doors?
Several factors will affect the cost to replace cabinet doors.
The Kitchen Size
The cost to replace cabinet doors depends on the kitchen size. Larger kitchens have more doors and drawers, which affects the total price. A small kitchen may cost $1,500 to $3,000, while a larger one could reach $5,000 to $7,000, depending on door style and material choices.
Labor and Installation Costs
If you decide to hire someone to install your kitchen cabinet doors, then you're looking at least an additional $1,500 to $4,500, or around $150 to $250 per door.
Door Material
The type of material you decide on makes the biggest price difference.
Laminate and thermofoil are more affordable and easier to maintain.
Solid wood offers premium quality and durability but will cost significantly more.
MDF (medium-density fiberboard) provides a smooth, paintable surface at a mid-range price, but can only be used for solid tones (painted).
Door price breakdown
Laminate and thermofoil: $10 to $35 per SF.
Solid wood: $25 to $55 on average, depending on the wood species.
MDF: $15 to $45, painted.
Upgrade Your Cabinet Door Style
Changing your cabinet doors offers the benefit of selecting a new style and color. You can brighten a dark kitchen with white shaker doors, opt for a sleek look with modern flat panels, or choose a rich wood stain for a warm, traditional appearance. The options are limitless, and the impact is immediate.
