Cabinet Installation & Refacing in Las Vegas, NV

Cabinet Installation & Refacing in Las Vegas, NV

Cabinet installation and refacing in Las Vegas typically costs between $2,800 and $18,500 depending on whether you’re doing a full replacement or a veneer-and-hardware refresh on existing boxes. Most projects are completed within three to seven business days, and the right choice between the two comes down to the condition of your existing cabinet frames and how dramatically you want to change the layout. At Groundwork Construction Co. of Las Vegas, we’ve been building and renovating kitchens across the valley since 2014, and cabinets are where a kitchen remodeling project either comes together or falls apart.

If your kitchen is starting to feel like it belongs to someone else – cramped, dated, mismatched after years of patchwork fixes – the cabinets are almost certainly part of the problem. They take up more visual real estate than anything else in the room. When they’re right, the whole kitchen feels right. When they’re wrong, no amount of new countertops or fresh paint fully fixes it. That’s why we treat this work seriously, whether a homeowner in Summerlin is going all-in on custom KraftMaid cabinetry or a family in Henderson wants to explore Cabinet Refacing vs Replacement in Las Vegas, NV for their existing layout.

This page is part of our broader Kitchen Remodeling in Las Vegas work. Cabinets don’t exist in isolation, and we treat them as one piece of a full kitchen plan – not a standalone transaction.

When You Need Cabinet Installation & Refacing

• Your cabinet boxes are structurally sound but the doors and finish are showing their age. In Las Vegas, the combination of hard water, extreme summer heat, and heavy air conditioning cycling pulls moisture in and out of cabinet materials faster than in most other climates. Veneer peeling, warped doors, and faded finishes are common in homes that are 12 to 20 years old – and refacing is usually the smarter call when the underlying frames are still square and solid.
• You’re renovating a kitchen in an older home in areas like Spring Valley or the Arts District. Houses built in the 1980s and 1990s across these neighborhoods often have builder-grade cabinets that were adequate at the time but are now undersized, poorly organized, and impossible to match with modern finishes. Full installation is typically the right move here.
• You want to change the layout – adding an island, removing a peninsula, or opening a wall. Refacing only works when the existing footprint stays the same. If you’re moving anything structurally, you need new cabinet installation as part of the broader build-out.
• Cabinet interiors are damaged, swollen, or carrying mold from a past leak. Las Vegas homes near the 215 corridor and in older North Las Vegas neighborhoods sometimes show water damage from roof leaks or under-sink plumbing failures that went undetected. Swollen particleboard shelving and black mold in the cabinet interior are not candidates for refacing – those boxes need to come out entirely.
• You’re upgrading countertops or appliances and the cabinet style no longer matches. A new quartz countertop sitting on top of laminate-wrapped 1990s cabinetry looks wrong, and buyers notice. Refacing the cabinet fronts with a complementary finish is often a same-week fix that makes the whole kitchen feel intentional.
• You’ve inherited a home after a sale and the kitchen was never updated. This is one of the most common situations we see in newer Las Vegas developments where homes sat on the market and deferred maintenance accumulated. Getting the cabinets right early sets up everything else in the renovation.

Our Cabinet Installation & Refacing Process

1. Free On-Site Estimate and Design Consultation

   We come to you. One of our background-checked project leads walks the kitchen, measures the existing cabinet footprint, checks the wall condition and stud layout, and looks at the current cabinet boxes for structural integrity. We bring finish samples, door style options, and – when the conversation calls for it – a KraftMaid catalog so you can see how your material choices will translate at scale. This visit is free, no strings attached, and it ends with a written line-item quote, not a ballpark number on a napkin.

2. Upfront Pricing Sign-Off Before a Single Cabinet Moves

   We don’t start until you’ve seen every line of the proposal and agreed to it in writing. The number you sign is the number you pay. In Las Vegas, where the remodeling market attracts a lot of contractors who low-bid the job and then hit you with change orders once the old cabinets are on the curb, upfront pricing is not a courtesy – it’s a structural protection for the homeowner. If the scope changes at your request, we document that too, in writing, before the work changes.

3. Demolition and Site Preparation

   For full installations, we remove the existing cabinetry carefully – protecting floors, drywall, and plumbing runs underneath. Refacing jobs require a thorough cleaning and degreasing of the existing cabinet surfaces before any veneer is applied, because adhesion fails on greasy surfaces and the Las Vegas heat makes a bad bond worse over time. We stage materials in your garage or driveway and use floor protection throughout.

4. Cabinet Installation or Refacing Execution

   For new installation, we set base cabinets first – leveling to the floor even when the floor isn’t level, which is common in older Las Vegas slab construction – then build up to wall cabinets and any specialty units like corner pull-outs, drawer stacks, or pantry columns. For refacing, we apply the new veneer to the face frames, hang the new doors and drawer fronts, and install updated hardware throughout. Every hinge and drawer slide is tested before we move on.

5. Countertop and Appliance Coordination

   Cabinets don’t finish in isolation. We coordinate the final measurements for cabinets & countertops templating – whether you’re going with Cambria quartz or another surface – and confirm appliance clearances for dishwashers, ranges, and refrigerators. This is where a full-scope contractor earns its keep: we’re not handing the coordination headache back to you and disappearing after the cabinet doors close.

6. Final Walk-Through and 730-Day Done Right Promise

   Before we pack up, you walk the kitchen with our project lead and point out anything that doesn’t look right. Gaps, alignment issues, a drawer that feels stiff – we address them on the spot or schedule a return visit before final sign-off. And when we’re gone, the 730-Day Done Right Promise stays behind: if something isn’t right within 730 days of completion, we come back and make it right. That’s one of the longest workmanship guarantees in residential construction in Las Vegas, and it’s in writing, not fine print.

Cabinet Installation & Refacing Pricing in Las Vegas

The cost to reface kitchen cabinets in Las Vegas, NV and full replacement pricing sits in a pretty wide range because the variables are real – kitchen size, cabinet grade, door style, hardware choices, and whether you’re replacing or refacing all move the number significantly. The table below reflects what we actually see on Las Vegas-area projects, not national averages lifted from a home improvement website.

A few factors that push Las Vegas jobs toward the higher end of these ranges:

• Kitchen size. Homes in Summerlin and in the newer master-planned communities near Inspirada often have larger open-plan kitchens with more linear footage of cabinetry than older properties near downtown. More cabinets, more materials, more labor time.
• Cabinet grade. Builder-grade stock cabinets cost less upfront but won’t hold up the same way to Las Vegas’s temperature swings – interior cabinet boxes can warp when the kitchen hits 85 degrees in the summer and then drops 30 degrees when the AC kicks in. Semi-custom lines like KraftMaid use better joinery and thicker substrate material, which matters out here.
• Accessibility and layout complexity. Corner solutions, pull-out pantries, deep drawer stacks for pots, and custom height adjustments for accessibility all add to the final number. These aren’t upsells – they’re functional decisions, and we’ll tell you plainly what each one costs before it goes on the quote.
• Finish and door style. A flat-panel door in a matte finish is less expensive than a raised-panel door with a glazed finish. Shaker doors fall in the middle and are currently the most requested style we see across Las Vegas and Henderson projects.

Any project over $10,000 qualifies for $1,000 off, and we offer 0% financing for 18 months on approved credit – which makes a mid-range cabinet replacement accessible on a monthly payment structure without carrying interest. The estimate is always free. Call (855) 951-4361 and a live person will schedule your on-site visit.

FAQs – Cabinet Installation & Refacing

Is cabinet refacing worth it, or should I just replace the cabinets?

Refacing is worth it when your existing cabinet boxes are structurally solid, the layout works for your needs, and you want to significantly change the look without a full gut. In Las Vegas homes where the cabinets were installed in the 1990s or early 2000s but have been well-maintained, refacing can deliver a near-new appearance for 40 to 60 percent less than a full replacement. But if the boxes are swollen, the layout is inefficient, or you’re moving walls or adding an island, refacing won’t solve the underlying problem – you’ll be spending money twice. We’ll tell you honestly which route makes sense after the on-site inspection. Call (855) 951-4361 for a free estimate and we’ll walk through both options with you.

How long does cabinet installation or refacing take in Las Vegas?

A refacing project on a standard Las Vegas kitchen typically takes two to four days once materials arrive. A full cabinet installation – demo, new boxes, doors, and hardware – runs four to seven business days for most kitchens, sometimes longer if custom cabinet orders are involved, since semi-custom lead times from manufacturers like KraftMaid currently run two to four weeks depending on finish and door style. We’ll give you a production timeline in your written quote so there are no surprises. Call (855) 951-4361 to get that process started.

Can I get new cabinets installed as part of a full kitchen remodel?

Yes, and this is actually where the work goes smoothest. When cabinets are part of a full kitchen remodel – including countertops, plumbing, electrical, and flooring – we can sequence everything correctly instead of working around other trades. If you’re planning a broader kitchen overhaul, look at our Kitchen Remodeling in Las Vegas page for the full scope of what we handle, and let us put together a single coordinated plan instead of managing multiple contractors. Call (855) 951-4361 and we’ll schedule a design consultation.

What happens if there’s a problem with my cabinets after the job is finished?

The 730-Day Done Right Promise covers exactly that scenario. If a drawer stops closing properly, a door hinge fails, or veneer adhesion issues appear within 730 days of project completion, we come back and fix it – no argument, no charge. This is not a limited warranty with exclusions buried in the fine print. It’s a straight commitment: if the work we did isn’t holding up, we make it right. Call (855) 951-4361 and a live person will get your call logged and a return visit scheduled.

Why Las Vegas Homeowners Choose Groundwork Construction Co.

Las Vegas has no shortage of contractors willing to give you a number over the phone without seeing the kitchen. We’ve heard the stories – low bids that balloon after demolition, crews that disappear mid-project, warranties that exist on paper but never get honored. Groundwork Construction Co. was built as a direct answer to that pattern.

We’ve been working in the Las Vegas market since 2014, which means we know how the local climate affects material choices, how slab foundations in certain neighborhoods create leveling challenges that you won’t find in other parts of the country, and which cabinet constructions hold up and which ones don’t when the temperature swings between 108 in July and the 40s in January. That’s real experience, and it shows up in how we spec the job and how we stand behind it.

Every technician who comes to your home is background-checked and arrives in uniform. They’re not a subcontracted crew sourced for the week – they’re part of the Groundwork system, trained to our standards, and accountable to the same 730-Day Done Right Promise you signed. When you call the main line at any hour, a live person answers. And when the job is done, the number on the final invoice matches the number you approved upfront. That’s the whole model, and we don’t deviate from it.

We’re also part of a broader home improvement picture. Whether your cabinet project is a standalone refresh or the starting point of a full kitchen overhaul that extends to the home you’re building long-term equity in, we approach it the same way: straight answers, real accountability, and work that holds up long after we’ve left.
