Cabinet Refinishing Cost Guide
Real Omaha pricing — what to budget and what drives the number.
Cabinet refinishing prices vary widely depending on what's being refinished, how complex the kitchen is, and what finish you're spec'ing. Here are the real ranges we quote across the Omaha metro.
Typical Omaha price ranges
Each project is quoted after an in-person walkthrough. These are honest working ranges.
- Small kitchen (15–20 linear feet): $2,500–$4,000
- Standard Omaha kitchen (25–35 linear feet): $3,500–$6,500
- Large kitchen with island (40+ linear feet): $6,500–$10,000+
- Bath vanity refinish: $400–$900
- Hardware upgrade (new pulls/knobs): $200–$600 add-on
What pushes price up
The biggest cost drivers we see:
- Lots of doors and drawer fronts (count, not square footage, drives spray time)
- Glass-front cabinets that need careful masking
- Two-tone finishes (different colors on uppers vs. lowers or island)
- Heavily routed door styles that require more sanding
- Stain refinish rather than paint (more steps)
- Crown moldings, light rails, and decorative panels
Refinish vs. replace, by the numbers
A 30-linear-foot Omaha kitchen typically refinishes for $4,500. The same kitchen replaced with mid-grade stock cabinets starts around $12,000–$15,000 installed, before counters or removal. Refinishing isn't a discount — it's a different product. But for the right kitchen, it's the better value by a wide margin.
