Pricing guide

Planning numbers,
not coupons.

Door count, condition, and sheen drive the number - not a Facebook coupon. A compact condo kitchen and a 30-door Peninsula kitchen are different jobs. The ranges below are planning numbers; the written estimate is the one that counts.

The ranges we actually
quote from.

On the service page, a small kitchen (up to about 15 doors) is $1,500-$3,000. A standard kitchen (15-30 doors, most of the work we do) is $3,000-$6,000. The homepage planning band for a typical kitchen is $2,000-$5,000 - same work, different way of grouping projects. Larger or heavily repaired kitchens sit above that after we measure.

A kitchen plus bathtub combo is $5,000-$9,000 when both rooms are in one project. That is not a discount gimmick; it is one crew, one schedule, one written quote. Full process: kitchen cabinet refinishing.

What makes a quote go up
or down.

Door and drawer count is the main lever. After that: how much repair the doors need, whether we are coating laminate film, how many colors, whether you want a color-matched island, and whether hardware is reused or new. Tight access, HOA elevator rules in San Francisco condos, and hillside staging in Los Gatos add time, not mystery fees - they show up in the written number.

We do not quote a kitchen from a texted photo as a final price. Photos get you in the right band. Measuring gets you the number.

What the price
includes.

Prep, premium coating, color selection (Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, or RAL), hardware removal and reinstall, and cleanup. Frames and interiors are painted on site; doors are often finished off-site so you can still use the kitchen. The 5-year finish warranty is on the workmanship, not a marketing line.

It does not include new countertops, new appliances, plumbing, or moving walls. If you need those, you need another trade.

How to get a number you
can use.

Book the free estimate. We measure, look at the boxes, bring samples, and leave you a written range you can compare to replacement bids. No pressure, no hidden trip charge. Call (669) 231-9510 or use the form on the site.

FAQ

Questions this guide
answers.

How much does kitchen cabinet refinishing cost in San Jose or Santa Clara?

Most standard kitchens land between $2,000 and $5,000. Compact kitchens can start near $1,500. Door count and condition set the final number after a free in-home estimate.

Is the estimate really free?

Yes. We visit, measure, and bring color samples. You get a written number. Work starts only if you approve it.

Why is one kitchen $3,000 and another $6,000?

Usually door count, repairs, and finish complexity. A 12-door condo and a 30-door island kitchen are not the same job even if both are 'a kitchen.'

Does refinishing include new hardware?

Reinstall of your existing hardware is included. New hardware is optional and quoted separately if you want it.

Refinish vs replace

Most Bay Area kitchens we see do not need new boxes. If the cabinets are square, the doors still hang, and you dislike the color or the wear, refinishing is usually the better spend. Replacement wins when the boxes themselves have failed.

Tub refinish vs replace

If the tub is still holding water and the floor around it is solid, refinishing is almost always the cheaper, faster fix. Replacement is for failed plumbing, a soft subfloor, or a tub you cannot live with in this footprint.

How long it takes

Kitchens take 3-7 days. Bathtubs are done the same day and ready for regular use in 24 hours. Those numbers are the ones we put on the site because they are the ones we run in Santa Clara and across the Bay Area - not a '3-5 day' marketing window.
