About us
What Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Includes?
Cabinet refacing is not a coat of paint and a new pull. It is a comprehensive surface transformation:
- New cabinet doors — chosen from a curated selection of door styles, profiles, and finishes to match your aesthetic
- New drawer fronts — matched to door selection for a unified, custom look
- Hardware installation — hinges, pulls, and knobs in brushed nickel, matte black, satin brass, or custom finish
- Frame refinishing — exposed cabinet boxes are cleaned, prepped, and finished to match your new doors seamlessly
- Coordination and clean installation — everything aligned, level, and calibrated before we leave
The result is a kitchen that reads as entirely new — without touching the plumbing, countertops, or floor plan.
Dustless Prep
We use professional dustless sanding vacuums inside your home, leaving absolutely zero drywall or wood dust behind.
HVLP Fine Spraying
Our high-volume, low-pressure custom sprayers apply uniform paint layers without orange peel or brush strokes.
Safe & Durable
Low-VOC, water-reducible polyurethane lacquer offers maximum child-safe indoor air quality and commercial-grade durability.
What Does Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Cost in Palm Desert?
Kitchen cabinet refacing in the Coachella Valley typically ranges from $3,000 to $9,000 for a full kitchen, depending on the number of cabinets, door style selection, and material specification. That range reflects real projects in Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, La Quinta, and Indian Wells homes — not national averages.
Compare that to full cabinet replacement, which commonly runs $15,000 to $35,000 or more once you account for demolition, new box construction, countertop reinstallation, and extended labor. Refacing delivers the visual transformation without dismantling a functional kitchen.
Every Delta Custom Finishes estimate is free, no-obligation, and fully itemized. You will know exactly what the project costs — materials, labor, hardware — before signing anything.
Cabinet Refacing vs. Refinishing vs. Replacement — Which Do You Need?
Three options. Very different outcomes. Here is how to read the decision:
Cabinet Refacing — Replace the doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. Best when your cabinet boxes are in good structural condition but your door style is outdated, damaged, or simply no longer reflects the home around it. Moderate investment. Transformative result.
Cabinet Refinishing (Painting & Coating) — Keep every component in place and apply new industrial-grade coatings. Best when your cabinets are structurally sound and you love the existing door profile — you just want a new color or a factory-smooth, durable finish. Most affordable option. Delta Custom Finishes specializes in this service using professional HVLP spray systems and low-VOC polyurethane coatings that outperform anything a brush or roller can produce.
Full Replacement — Remove everything and start from scratch. Only justified when your cabinet boxes are structurally compromised, water-damaged, or when your kitchen layout genuinely no longer functions. The most disruptive and expensive path by a wide margin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does kitchen cabinet refacing take?Most full kitchen refacing projects are complete in two to three days. Larger kitchens or custom door orders may extend the timeline slightly — we will give you an accurate schedule during your estimate.
Do I need to empty my cabinets before refacing?We ask that you clear the cabinet interiors within reach of our work area. We handle all door and hardware removal and reinstallation.
Can I change the door style completely — from raised panel to flat-front, for example?Yes. Door refacing is not constrained by the original profile. If you want to update from an ornate raised-panel to a clean Shaker or slab door, that is one of the primary reasons clients choose refacing.
Will the refinished frames match the new doors exactly?That is the precision the job demands, and it is where experience shows. We finish cabinet frames using the same material family as your door selection, applied with professional spray equipment to achieve a uniform, factory-consistent result.
Do you reface bathroom vanities as well?Yes. [See our Bathroom Cabinet Refacing page] for full details on vanity transformation services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our premium cabinet fine-finish spraying and transformation process.
We completely cover your floors, countertops, and appliances with protective heavy-duty paper and plastic sheeting. A dust-containment zipper wall is installed to seal the kitchen entirely, ensuring your home stays immaculate throughout the project.
Cabinets naturally collect kitchen grease over time, which prevents new paint from properly adhering. We wash all doors with heavy-duty chemical degreasers, followed by precision machine sanding connected directly to HEPA vacuums to capture 99% of airborne dust.
We spray two separate coats of shellac or high-performance chemical-bonding primers. This crucial step blocks deep stains, locks wood tannins to prevent color bleeding, and creates an ironclad anchor for the final color coatings.
HVLP stands for High Volume Low Pressure. Using these advanced spray systems, we apply 3 ultra-thin coats of premium industrial wood coatings. This dynamic application technique results in an incredibly smooth, durable, and completely brush-streak free factory finish.
A typical kitchen cabinet project takes anywhere from 3 to 5 business days. The exact timeframe depends entirely on the size of your kitchen, the number of doors/drawers, and the extensive masking required to properly seal off the workspace.
No. We use a specialized dustless sanding system where our precision machines are connected to high-powered HEPA vacuums, pulling away 99% of dust instantly. Combined with our heavy-duty zipper walls, your living space remains clean.
Yes. As part of our final step, we carefully re-install all cabinet doors, replace old bumpers, adjust the hinges for perfect structural alignment, and install new designer hardware as selected by you. We follow this with a meticulous final quality inspection.
Our premium industrial wood coatings are significantly tougher than residential wall paints or DIY enamel paints. They are specifically formulated to resist chemical cleaners, hand oils, moisture, and everyday impact scuffs without chipping or peeling.
You only need to empty the items inside the cabinets if we are painting the interior shelving. If we are only coating the exterior faces, frames, and doors, your interior belongings can safely remain inside while we mask off the openings.
Cleaning is incredibly easy. Simply use a soft microfiber cloth dampened with warm water and mild dish soap to wipe down surfaces. Avoid harsh abrasive scrubbing pads or ammonia-based cleaners to preserve the fine factory finish long-term.
