Expert kitchen and bathroom renovations in Port Moody, from Heritage Mountain to Ioco and Newport.
About Cabinet Refacing in Port Moody
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/).

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.
Cabinet Refacing Services in Port Moody
Reno Stars serves Port Moody homeowners with kitchen, bathroom, basement, and whole-house renovations tailored to the city's unique housing stock. Port Moody's neighbourhoods — from Heritage Mountain and Glenayre to Moody Centre and Ioco — feature a mix of split-level homes from the 1970s–80s, modern townhouse developments along the Evergreen corridor, and waterfront properties near Rocky Point Park.
Split-level and raised-ranch homes are our most common Port Moody projects. These homes typically have compartmentalized layouts that homeowners want opened up, plus dated kitchens with worn laminate countertops and dark cabinetry. Our team has transformed dozens of these into modern, open-concept living spaces with quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, and improved lighting — all while maintaining structural integrity of the split-level design.
Basement renovations in Port Moody are especially popular due to the city's housing costs. Converting an unfinished basement into a legal secondary suite with a separate entrance, full bathroom, and kitchenette can generate $1,500–$2,200/month in rental income. We handle the full process: layout design, BC Building Code compliance for secondary suites, plumbing and electrical rough-in, insulation, drywall, and finishing.
Port Moody's proximity to nature means many homeowners want eco-friendly renovation options. We offer low-VOC paints, FSC-certified wood, energy-efficient windows and appliances, and LED lighting packages. Our team has completed several Net Zero–ready upgrades and can advise on BC's CleanBC rebate programs for energy retrofits.
Condo and townhouse renovations along the Evergreen Extension corridor — including Newport Village and Suter Brook — require strata coordination. We are experienced with the approval process for these newer developments and understand the building envelope restrictions that apply to exterior-wall modifications.
Real project examples from Port Moody include bathroom renovations from $18,000–$25,000 and kitchen renovations from $25,000–$35,000. Free on-site quotes available within 48 hours.
