Kitchen Remodel Cost Guide: Cabinet Painting, Refacing & New Cabinets in Phoenix

The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home — a space where cherished memories are made. It’s the hub for family gatherings, entertaining guests, celebrating holidays, preparing meals, and even working from home.

When contemplating a kitchen update or remodel, several factors come into play: your product choices, ideal layout, desired style, and — most importantly — your budget. At Kitchen Tune-Up, our mission is to make the kitchen updating process a positive and uplifting experience.

With over 35 years of experience and international buying power, we offer a wide range of high-quality products in different styles, finishes, price points, and timelines. This guide breaks down the most common kitchen remodeling options and their average costs in the North Central Phoenix corridor, Moon Valley, Scottsdale, and Paradise Valley.


Average Costs for Kitchen Remodeling in Phoenix

Cabinet Painting

Average Cost: $3,700 – $7,000
If your cabinet boxes are in good shape and you're happy with the layout and style of your doors, cabinet painting may be the best value. It's the most affordable and least disruptive way to refresh your kitchen — especially when paired with new countertops, backsplash, and hardware.

Often times we can also modernize older cabinets with exposed hinges by installing new, soft-close, concealed hinges.


Cabinet Redooring

Average Cost: $9,000 – $12,000
Cabinet redooring replaces your cabinet doors and drawer fronts with a new style of your choice while keeping the existing cabinet boxes and finish. This option is ideal if you like your current cabinet color but want a style update.

Redooring typically includes:

  • New, concealed soft-close hinges
  • Full-overlay door and drawer fronts
  • Optional drawer box upgrades and rollout trays

Cabinet Refacing

Average Cost: $12,000 – $20,000
This is our most popular kitchen transformation. Cabinet refacing lets you update both the color/stain and door style, all without changing your existing layout.

Our “Refacing Plus” option allows for additional enhancements such as:

  • Modifying or adding cabinetry
  • Replacing drawers or doors
  • Converting lower cabinets to rollouts
  • Installing new countertops
  • Installing kitchen islands or full-height pantry units

Refacing can make your kitchen feel brand new — at a fraction of the cost of a full remodel.


New Kitchen Cabinets

Average Cost: $23,000 – $50,000
If your cabinets are failing or your kitchen layout needs an overhaul, new cabinetry is the way to go.

We offer:

  • Stock Cabinetry – limited styles/colors, faster turnaround, lower cost
  • Full Custom Cabinetry – unlimited styles, personalized designs, longer lead times, higher cost

Keep in mind that new cabinetry requires new countertops and (typically) a new sink, which will increase the overall cost.


Additional Kitchen Remodeling Costs

Countertops

Average Cost: $3,000 – $12,000
Countertop pricing depends on the size of your kitchen and the material you select. Common options include:

  • Quartz & Granite: Mid-range, durable, and stylish
  • Marble, Soapstone, Porcelain: High-end, premium look and feel
  • Laminate: Most budget-friendly

Other Cost Factors to Consider

1. Size of the Space

Not surprisingly, larger kitchens cost more due to increased material and labor needs.

2. Materials & Product Quality

Material selection significantly impacts your budget. For example:

  • Engineered wood doors are ~30% less than natural wood
  • Custom drawer boxes and accessories add to labor and material costs (but they can also have an outsized impact on the functionality and quality of your upgraded kitchen)
  • Countertop costs range widely depending on material choice and edge profile
