AfterCabinet Installation & Refacing in Jacksonville, FL
Cabinet installation and refacing in Jacksonville typically runs between $4,500 and $18,000 depending on whether you’re replacing boxes or refacing existing ones, and most kitchen jobs wrap in 3 to 7 working days. We’re Bradford Remodeling Co Jacksonville, and we put every cabinet job in writing before the first tool comes out. If you’re weighing whether to gut the kitchen or give the cabinets a second life, call us at (904) 337-5929 and we’ll give you a straight number on both options.
This is a focused trade inside our larger Kitchen Remodeling in Jacksonville work. But cabinet work deserves its own page because it’s where most kitchen budgets actually go, and where most homeowners get surprised. We don’t do surprises. Curtis Lane runs our Jacksonville operation, and the standard he holds every job to is simple: written price, documented scope, signed guarantee at close.
And if you’re new to Bradford, know this: every cabinet project we complete carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a hinge binds, a door sags, or a refaced panel delaminates inside that year, we come back and correct it at no charge. That’s not a verbal assurance. It’s in writing, in your hand, before we leave the driveway.
Who This Service Is For
Cabinet installation and refacing is for the homeowner who has a kitchen that functions but looks tired, or a kitchen that’s coming apart at the seams. It’s not always a full teardown. Sometimes the boxes are square and solid, and the right move is refacing: new doors, new drawer fronts, new veneer on the face frames, new hardware. Sometimes the boxes have water damage or the kitchen design and layout fights you every morning, and replacement is the only honest answer.
We do both, and we’ll tell you which one your kitchen actually needs. Not which one costs more. Which one is right. Here at home in Jacksonville, that distinction matters because our humidity, our older housing stock, and our particular mix of 1980s tract builds and 1920s bungalows all affect what’s behind the cabinet doors.
Where most remodelers ask you to trust them, Bradford gives you that trust in writing. The Garrison Standard governs how we operate: every price in writing before work starts, background-checked and uniformed technicians on site, and a live person answering the phone 24 hours a day at (904) 337-5929.
When You Need Cabinet Installation & Refacing
Here are the situations we see most often in Jacksonville kitchens, from Mandarin to Arlington to Riverside. If any of these sound like your kitchen, it’s time to talk.
- Boxes are sound but doors and faces are shot. If the cabinet boxes are square, level, and dry but the doors are warped, the finish is chalking, or the hinges are wallowed out, refacing gives you a new kitchen without tearing out the drywall. In mid-century Riverside bungalows and 1990s Southside builds alike, this is the most common scenario we see.
- Water damage from sink leaks or dishwasher overflows. The substrate under a Jacksonville sink sees a lot. Swollen particleboard, delaminating laminate, and mildew behind the toe kick are signs the lower boxes are compromised. Those need replacement, not a face lift.
- Layout fights how you actually cook. Cabinets that open into each other, a corner blind cabinet you can’t reach, or a kitchen that bottlenecks at dinner. New cabinet installation lets you fix the workspace, not just the look.
- You’re selling and the kitchen is the objection. Jacksonville buyers walk into a kitchen and make up their mind in thirty seconds. Refacing is often the highest-return kitchen move before a listing, especially in neighborhoods like San Marco and Avondale where buyers expect a certain standard.
- Painted-over cabinets are failing. We see a lot of cabinets that were painted once or twice over factory finishes, and now the paint is chipping at the rails and stiles. Refacing with new doors and a proper veneer is the permanent fix.
- Hinges, slides, and drawer boxes are failing. If drawers stick, sag, or dump their load on the floor, the hardware and drawer construction are done. New installation with soft-close hardware solves it for good.
Our Cabinet Installation & Refacing Process
Here’s how a Bradford cabinet job runs in Jacksonville. No mystery, no gaps where you’re wondering what happens next.
- Walkthrough and measurements. We come to your home, measure the kitchen, check the substrate and the soffits, and document what exists. This is where we figure out whether refacing is viable or whether the boxes themselves are compromised.
- Written scope and price. You get a document that states exactly what we’ll install, what it costs, and what’s included. This is the no-hassle upfront pricing commitment, and it’s non-negotiable. The number on that page is the number you pay.
- Material selection and ordering. We work with name-brand cabinetry lines like KraftMaid and Wellborn, and surfaces from Cambria and Caesarstone, among others. Every product we specify has a manufacturer spec sheet and warranty documentation, so nothing is left to guesswork.
- Installation and refacing. Our crew is background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know who’s walking through your door before they arrive. For refacing, we remove doors and drawer fronts, apply the veneer to face frames, install new doors and hardware, and box in any exposed ends. For replacement, we pull the old boxes, address the rough-in, and set the new ones with shims, levels, and fasteners per manufacturer spec.
- Hardware, alignment, and adjustment. Every door and drawer gets adjusted so reveals are even and slides run clean. We cycle every door and drawer. This is the part that separates a real cabinet crew from a rush job.
- Walkthrough and signed guarantee. We walk the kitchen with you, confirm the scope is complete, clean the site, and hand you the signed written guarantee. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, in paper. If anything fails inside that year, you call and we come back.
Cabinet Installation & Refacing Pricing in Jacksonville
Here’s the honest math on cabinet work in Jacksonville as of 2025. These are real ranges based on the kitchens we’ve done across Duval County over the past several years.
| Scope of Work | Typical Range in Jacksonville | What It Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Refacing, small kitchen (10-12 cabinets) | $4,500 – $7,500 | New doors and drawer fronts, veneer on face frames, new hinges and pulls, edge banding on exposed ends |
| Refacing, medium kitchen (13-18 cabinets) | $6,500 – $11,000 | Same as above, plus finished end panels, crown or light rail as specified, hardware throughout |
| Refacing, large kitchen (19+ cabinets) | $9,000 – $15,000 | Full reface with premium door styles, soft-close hardware, paneled ends, and touch-up on adjacent trim |
| New installation, stock cabinets | $6,000 – $12,000 | Removal of existing, new KraftMaid or Wellborn stock line, installation, hardware, basic adjustments |
| New installation, semi-custom cabinets | $12,000 – $18,000 | Layout changes within the same footprint, upgraded door profiles, plywood boxes, soft-close throughout |
| Island, prep sink, or added cabinetry | $2,500 – $6,000 per element | Additional boxes, counter coordination, plumbing rough-in coordination |
What moves the number? Three things, mostly. First, whether the boxes are sound enough to reface. Second, whether you’re changing the layout, which means new rough-in, more labor, and more drywall. Third, the door profile and finish you pick, because a painted shaker door costs less than a stained slab with a custom glaze. We’ll walk you through every factor and give you a written price before any work starts. Estimates are free, and the number doesn’t move at the door. Call (904) 337-5929 to schedule a walkthrough.
What Makes Bradford Different on Cabinet Work
Plenty of Jacksonville contractors will hang cabinets. Not many will commit to what we commit to. Here’s the difference, plainly stated.
We work under The Garrison Standard, which is the operating framework behind every Bradford job. It’s not a slogan. It’s a set of rules: every price in writing before work begins, every technician background-checked and in uniform, a live person answering the phone 24/7, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise on every completed project. The Garrison Code is the same standard applied to conduct on site: respect the home, keep the workspace clean, and leave the job squared away.
On materials, we specify from a documented roster of name brands. For cabinet work in Jacksonville, that most often means KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria or Caesarstone surfaces, and Kohler or Moen fixtures. Every one of those brands has manufacturing specs and warranties that back up our own guarantee. You can verify what we install. That’s the point.
And when the job is done, here’s what squared away looks like: the old cabinets and packaging hauled off, the floors swept, the counters clean, the doors and drawers adjusted and cycling smooth, and a signed written guarantee in your hand. No punch list that drags on for weeks. No phone tag.
FAQs – Cabinet Installation & Refacing
Is it cheaper to reface or replace kitchen cabinets in Jacksonville?
Refacing is cheaper than replacement in Jacksonville, generally running 40 to 60 percent less than installing new boxes in the same layout, because you keep the existing cabinet boxes and only replace cabinets and countertops surfaces like doors, drawer fronts, and face veneers. The tradeoff is that refacing won’t fix a bad layout, water-damaged boxes, or walls that need rough-in work behind the cabinets. Call (904) 337-5929 and we’ll tell you which path fits your kitchen, with a written price either way.
How long does cabinet refacing take in Jacksonville?
Cabinet refacing in Jacksonville typically takes 2 to 4 working days for an average kitchen, while a full replacement usually runs 3 to 7 working days depending on layout changes and countertop coordination. We schedule the work in consecutive days once materials are on site, so you’re not living with a half-finished kitchen for weeks. Before we start, you’ll have a written timeline and a written price.
Can you install cabinets without replacing the countertops?
Yes, in most cases, replacement cabinets can be installed without replacing countertops if the existing counters remain intact during removal and the new cabinet layout matches the old footprint. We cut the caulk lines, remove old boxes carefully, and set new cabinets before re-setting the slab, coordinating with a counter fabricator when any adjustments are needed. If you’re refacing, counters typically stay in place entirely.
What brands do you install for cabinet work in Jacksonville?
We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry most often, paired with Cambria or Caesarstone surfaces and Kohler or Moen fixtures as specified. Every brand on our roster carries manufacturer documentation and warranty coverage, which means what we install is traceable and backed by more than just our word. That said, our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work for a full year regardless of which brand you choose.
Do you give free estimates for cabinet installation in Jacksonville?
Yes, estimates are free, and the price we put in writing before work starts is the price you pay. There are no numbers that change at the door. Call (904) 337-5929 and a live person will schedule your walkthrough, day or night.
