Professional home renovations in Maple Ridge — kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and whole-house projects by a licensed local contractor.
About Cabinet Refacing in Maple Ridge
Vancouver kitchen cabinet refacing, refinishing, and full custom replacement. The cheapest path to a refreshed kitchen — when your existing layout works and the boxes are sound, you can transform the kitchen for 30–60% of a full renovation cost.
Three options, in order of cost:
Option A: Refinishing (Spray Paint)
We strip, prep, and spray the existing cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and frames in our offsite spray booth (factory-grade lacquer finish, not roller-applied paint).
When it works: wood or wood-veneer doors in good structural shape, no major damage. Doesn't work for: thermofoil doors (peeling can't be fixed), badly damaged or warped doors, MDF that's been water-damaged.
| Scope | Vancouver 2026 cost |
|---|---|
| 10–15 cabinet doors + drawer fronts (small/medium kitchen) | $4,000 – $6,500 |
| 16–25 doors (mid-size kitchen) | $6,500 – $9,500 |
| 25+ doors (large kitchen, multiple cabinet runs) | $9,500 – $14,000 |
Includes: removal, transport to spray booth, prep + 2-pack lacquer, hardware reinstall, drawer slide tune-up.
Option B: Refacing (New Doors + Drawer Fronts)
Keep the cabinet boxes; replace the doors and drawer fronts with brand-new ones in your choice of style and finish. Boxes get matching veneer applied to visible sides. Effectively a "new kitchen look" without the demolition.
| Scope | Vancouver 2026 cost |
|---|---|
| Stock door style (paint-grade MDF or thermofoil) | $8,000 – $12,000 |
| Custom door style (solid wood, soft-close hinges) | $12,000 – $18,000 |
| Premium door style + matching crown / valance / panels | $15,000 – $25,000 |
Includes: door + drawer-front fabrication, installation, end-panel veneer, hinge upgrade to soft-close, hardware install. Box interiors and structure unchanged.
Option C: Full Custom Replacement
Boxes don't survive water damage, mouse damage, or are particleboard that's swollen — they need replacement. We design new boxes (semi-custom or fully custom Canadian-built), keep your countertop if possible, and reinstall everything.
| Scope | Vancouver 2026 cost |
|---|---|
| Semi-custom replacement (10–14 lin. ft) | $20,000 – $35,000 |
| Custom replacement (15–22 lin. ft) | $30,000 – $50,000 |
| Custom + new countertop + tile backsplash + sink | $40,000 – $75,000 |
This is approaching kitchen-renovation territory; at this scope we usually recommend a full kitchen reno discussion (see /services/kitchen/).
What's Always Included

What Drives Price Up
- Asymmetric or oversized doors (custom milling): +20–40%
- Glass-fronted doors (custom glass cut): +$200–$500/door
- Painted finish in dark colours (more coats): +10%
- Hardware upgrade to soft-close + premium pulls: +$1K–$3K total
Why Our Floor is $4K and Not $1.5K
A $1.5K "cabinet refresh" you see on Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace is roller-applied paint that peels in 12–18 months. Our refinishing is 2-pack lacquer applied in a controlled spray booth — it lasts 15+ years, the same finish factories use for new cabinets. The price reflects industrial-grade equipment, proper prep, and warranty.
