Does anyone know how much it costs to get new cabinet doors? Cabinet boxes and layout just fine, only new doors for approx 20 linear feet? Thanks!

Cabinet Hardware(pulls & knobs) Makeover = $1.50+ for each piece
Cabinet Refacing = $110-$200 linear foot material only
Cabinet Remodel = $120-$400 linear foot material depending on style and company.

As a kitchen designer at a big box store, I've ran the numbers for customers before. Every single time the cabinet refacing is cheaper, but in most cases the overall difference has been between $300-$1200 dollars.

The best option would be to go into a store. The universal kitchen is a 10x10 = 20LF and that can give you an idea of what cost would be on the doorstyle you personally like.

An easy 'fix' for outdated kitchen cabinets is to replace just the hardware. Depending on how fancy you want to get, handles range anywhere from $1.00 up per handle. Oftentimes you don't even have to replace the hinges.

I just did this for my mother's house. It can be done in a few hours and really changed the look of the whole room!

Hello Lm:

I see that you've posted quite a few questions regarding estimates on Trulia. Unfrortunately, without knowing exact sizes, material composition, and material costs in your geographical, you'll not get an accurate answer. Rather than posting questions here, try:
http://www.homerenovationestimate.com

This site provides a general list of materials and helps you, as the homeowner, determine general building and material costs based on project.

Good luck!!
