Cabinet Refacing Cost in Florida

Cabinet refacing in Florida averages $12,000 for a 20-door kitchen in 2026 — above the national average. Thermofoil runs $6100; wood veneer $8000; solid wood $10000.

Cabinet refacing in Florida is worth it when cabinet boxes are structurally sound (no water damage, solid plywood or hardwood). Average savings vs. full replacement: $18,000–$30,000 for the same visual result. In high-cost Florida markets, the savings are even more significant. Best for: budgets under $10,000, homeowners who like their kitchen layout, and homes where you plan to stay 5+ years.

Well-done cabinet refacing lasts 15–25 years in Florida. Thermofoil can peel near heat (stoves, dishwashers) over 10–15 years — not recommended for cabinets adjacent to high-heat appliances. Wood veneer ages naturally and lasts 20–30+ years. Solid wood doors last as long as the underlying box (30–50 years). Florida's climate (especially humidity levels) affects thermofoil longevity — wood veneer is more durable in humid conditions.
