AfterCabinet Installation & Refacing in Dallas, TX
Cabinet installation and refacing in Dallas typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a full kitchen, with refacing landing 40-60% below full replacement. Most projects take 3 to 7 working days once measurements are confirmed. At Mason Remodeling Co Dallas, every project starts with a written price before any work begins, and every crew member who walks through your door has been background-checked, identity-verified, and introduced to you by name and photo before arrival.
Dallas homes span a wide range of build eras. A 1960s ranch in Casa View has different cabinet framing than a 2010s build in north Dallas or a high-rise condo in Uptown. That variety is exactly why cabinet work is not a one-size-fits-all trade. The framing, the wall condition behind the cabinets, the hinge hardware, and the way the existing boxes were hung all shape what is possible. We treat cabinet installation and refacing as structural work first and cosmetic work second. If the box is sound, refacing makes sense. If it is not, installation of new cabinets is the honest answer, and we will tell you which one you actually need before any money changes hands.
This work sits inside our broader Kitchen Remodeling in Dallas services, which means the same written-price standard, the same verified crews, and the same 365-day guarantee apply. You will also find full scope details on our home page.

When You Need Cabinet Installation & Refacing
Here are the situations where Dallas homeowners call us, and what each one usually means:
- Cabinet boxes are solid but doors and drawer fronts look worn. If the boxes are square and the hinges hold, refacing replaces the visible surfaces without tearing out the kitchen. This is common in Lakewood and East Dallas homes from the 1970s and 1980s where the original cabinetry was built from fir plywood that is still doing its job.
- Cabinet boxes are swollen, delaminating, or pulling away from the wall. North Texas humidity swings are hard on particleboard. Once a box has absorbed moisture from a slow sink leak or years of Dallas summer humidity, no new door will fix it. Replacement is the route.
- Layout no longer works. You might want deeper drawers for pots, a pull-out pantry, or uppers that actually reach the ceiling instead of collecting dust in that dead space above. Installation of new cabinetry is the only way to change the geometry.
- Hinges and slides are failing. Soft-close hardware has a service life. If the doors sag or the drawers stick, and the boxes are otherwise fine, refacing can include upgraded hardware without full replacement cost.
- New countertops are going in anyway. If the counters are coming out, that is the least expensive moment to address cabinets, because the install crew is already there and the old surfaces are already exposed.
- You are preparing to sell. In Dallas, dated oak cabinet fronts from the 1990s read as “project” to buyers. Refacing in a current color and door style is one of the most cost-effective pre-listing updates you can make, and it commonly recovers its cost at resale.
Our Cabinet Installation & Refacing Process
Before any of this starts, you get a written price. Not a verbal ballpark. A written number with scope, timeline, and materials stated, signed before we order anything. That is the standard at Mason Remodeling Co Dallas and it is not optional, not a promotion, and never waived.
- Site measurement and box assessment. We open the cabinet doors, look inside, check the framing, and measure everything. This visit tells us whether the existing boxes can carry refaced doors for another 20 years, or whether we are pricing new installation. Dallas pier-and-beam homes, common in East Dallas and Oak Cliff, shift with our clay soil, so we pay close attention to how square the existing boxes actually are.
- Written proposal with the exact number. You receive a written price that covers materials, labor, hardware, disposal, and the finish work needed after installation. No allowances that balloon later. No line item that says “miscellaneous.” The number you approve is the number on the final bill.
- Verification before arrival. Before installers reach your door, you receive each technician’s name and photo. At the door, every crew member arrives in a clean, marked uniform and shows a photo ID badge. This is the Threshold Standard, named and enforced on every Mason Remodeling job, and it protects you from the moment of first contact.
- Demolition and prep. For full installation, old cabinets come out with controlled cuts, not pry-bar demolition, so the drywall behind them is left repairable. For refacing, doors, drawer fronts, and hardware are removed, and the existing boxes are cleaned, inspected, and prepped for new veneers or paint-grade fronts.
- Install or reface. New boxes are leveled, shimmed, and anchored to studs. Refaced boxes receive new doors and drawer fronts, new end panels, new hinges, and new hardware. Every drawer is set to proper reveal. Every door is checked for square. If a gap is off by a sixteenth of an inch, it gets fixed that day, not on a punch list two weeks later.
- Finish walkthrough. We run every drawer, open every door, and check soft-close function on every hinge. We leave the workspace swept and the old cabinetry hauled away. And then we put the guarantee in writing, with exactly what is covered, what is excluded, and for how long: 365 days from the completion date. If anything is not right within that year, we return at no charge.
Cabinet Installation & Refacing Pricing in Dallas
Here are the ranges we see across the Dallas market, based on project scope. Refacing a kitchen with stock doors runs toward the low end. Full installation with custom or semi-custom boxes, soft-close hardware throughout, and a new pantry or island configuration runs toward the top.
| Project Type | Typical Range in Dallas | What It Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Refacing, stock doors, laminate or paint-grade fronts | $4,500 – $7,500 | New doors, drawer fronts, end panels, hinges, hardware, disposal |
| Refacing, upgraded door profile with soft-close | $7,000 – $11,000 | Above plus soft-close hinges and slides throughout |
| Full installation, stock or semi-custom boxes, standard kitchen | $8,000 – $14,000 | New boxes, doors, drawers, hardware, crown, toe kicks, disposal |
| Full installation, custom configuration | $14,000 – $25,000+ | Custom layouts, deep drawers, inset doors, specialty storage |
What moves the number in Dallas specifically:
- Box condition. Refacing only pencils out when the boxes are square and dry. If we find water damage or a box that has racked out of square from shifting clay soil, we will recommend installation instead, and explain why in plain language before you spend a dollar.
- Cabinet height. Older Dallas kitchens, especially in M Streets and Lower Greenville, have 30-inch uppers. Replacing with 36- or 42-inch uppers that reach the ceiling changes the cost but also changes storage and dust maintenance for the better.
- Door profile and material. A flat slab door in a painted finish costs less than a raised-panel door in a wood veneer. We bring physical samples so you can see and touch the difference before deciding.
- Hardware. Soft-close is now standard on mid-range and up. Hinges and slides are wear items and worth spending on, even in a reface, because that is what you touch every single day.
- Countertop coordination. If counters are being replaced at the same time, the cabinet crew and the countertop crew have to coordinate the reveal, the overhang, and the mounting surface. We handle that scheduling internally so you are not the project manager.
We work with specification-grade cabinet lines including KraftMaid and Wellborn, and coordinate with countertop partners like Cambria and Silestone when the project includes new surfaces. You get access to vetted, professional-grade products without having to chase multiple suppliers yourself.
Every estimate is free, and the written price you receive is the price you pay. Call (432) 302-8761 to schedule a measurement. A live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
FAQs – Cabinet Installation & Refacing
Is it cheaper to reface cabinets or buy new ones?
Refacing is typically 40-60% cheaper than full replacement in Dallas, so a $12,000 full installation in a standard kitchen often lands around $5,000-$7,000 with refacing. The savings come from keeping the existing boxes, which are already leveled, anchored, and functional. The catch is that refacing only works when the boxes are in good shape. If the boxes have water damage or are out of square, replacement is the only honest option. Call (432) 302-8761 and we will tell you which route applies to your kitchen, with a written price either way.
How much does cabinet refacing cost in Dallas?
Cabinet refacing in Dallas runs $4,500 to $11,000 for a standard kitchen, depending on door profile, finish, and whether you add soft-close hardware. The low end covers flat slab doors in a laminate or paint-grade finish. The high end covers raised-panel doors with soft-close hinges and slides throughout. The only way to get an exact number for your kitchen is a measurement visit, which is free. Call (432) 302-8761 and we will schedule it.
Can you really do this work the right way without the homeowner being on-site?
Most of our Dallas projects happen while homeowners are at work, and yes, the work is done correctly. That is the entire reason the Threshold Standard exists. You get the name and photo of every crew member before they arrive. They show up in a clean, marked uniform with a photo ID badge at the door. No one enters your home who has not been background-checked and identity-verified in advance. You can be home or not. The standard does not change.
What does the 365-Day Done Right Promise actually cover?
The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers workmanship for 365 days from the completion date: door alignment, drawer function, hinge function, hardware sets, installed trim, and any installation defect that shows up within that year. If the work is not right, we return and make it right at no cost to you. The terms are stated plainly in writing, including what is covered, what is excluded, and for how long. No dispute process. No fine print gymnastics.
Will you coordinate with my countertop installer?
Since this work sits under our Kitchen Remodeling services, we often run the countertop coordination ourselves when the project includes new counters, using partner fabricators for Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone surfaces. If you have a separate countertop contractor, we will coordinate directly with them on reveals, overhangs, and scheduling so the cabinet install lands first and the countertops land right after. Either way, you are not the one chasing trades.
Can you come out today to look at my kitchen?
Call (432) 302-8761 and a live person will answer, take your details, and get a measurement visit on the calendar. In many Dallas service areas we can have someone out the same day or the next business day, depending on the crew schedule. There is no answering service, no call tree, and no waiting until Monday. Estimates are free, and you will have a written price before any work begins.
Why Dallas Homeowners Call Mason Remodeling Co Dallas
There are cabinet installers all over the Metroplex. What separates us is not a secret technique. It is that we prove who we are before we step onto your property, and we put the price in writing before the first tool comes out of the truck. If you are a parent with young kids, someone who is often home alone, or an older adult who takes the decision of who enters your house seriously, this is not a nice-to-have. It is the bare minimum of being a professional, and most of this industry does not meet it.
Mason Remodeling was founded in 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies. The name has meant careful, lasting building for centuries, and the standard still applies: verified crews, written pricing, a written guarantee on every job, and a free return visit if a repair or installation fails within the coverage period.
When the crew arrives, you already know their names. That is the Threshold Standard in practice. It is not a marketing line. It is the way every Mason Remodeling location operates, including ours in Dallas. And it matters more on a kitchen cabinet job than it might seem, because this is one of the only trades that works inside every room of your home while you are not there.
Call (432) 302-8761 for a free estimate, a straight answer on refacing versus replacement, and a written price before any work starts.
