How much does cabinet refinishing cost in Edmonton?

Full kitchen cabinet refinishing in Edmonton typically costs between $4,000 and $10,000, depending on the number of doors and drawers, cabinet condition, wood type, and finish selected. Bathroom vanity refinishing ranges from $1,000 to $3,000.

What Affects the Price?

• Number of cabinet doors and drawers: This is the primary cost driver. A small galley kitchen with 15 doors costs less than a large U-shaped kitchen with 35+ doors, drawer fronts, and end panels.
• Cabinet condition: Cabinets with heavy damage, grease buildup, or multiple layers of old finish require more stripping and prep labour before refinishing can begin.
• Wood type: Oak cabinets with open grain require grain filling before finishing — an extra step that adds time and cost but produces a dramatically smoother result.
• Finish type: We offer three professional-grade finishes: catalyzed lacquer (industry standard), conversion varnish (hardest, most chemical-resistant), and Benjamin Moore Advance (low-VOC waterborne alkyd). Each has different material costs.
• Colour change complexity: Going from dark stain to white or light colours requires more coats and more intensive prep than a same-tone refresh.
