What drives the cost
- Painting existing cabinets vs replacing doors vs full replacement

- Hardware and lighting upgrades
A refresh that repaints or refaces existing cabinets rather than replacing the boxes typically costs a fraction of a full remodel while changing most of what people actually notice about a kitchen.
