Cost to Kitchen Cabinet Refacing in Baltimore, MD (2026)

If you’re budgeting a kitchen cabinet refacing in Baltimore, most projects run $4,210-$12,630, 5% above the $7,500 national average. What moves that number most is usually one thing: Refacing Material Choice. On its own it can swing the cost by $50 - $350 per linear foot difference, so that’s the decision to slow down on before you sweat the smaller stuff.

Easiest place to save: Compare refacing vs. replacement honestly. Refacing typically costs 40-60% of full replacement. If your cabinet boxes are in good shape and you just want a new look, refacing is a strong value. If the boxes are sagging or damaged, replace.

In the Northeast (where Baltimore sits): Higher labor rates, strong demand in older home stock.
