AfterCabinet Installation & Refacing in Fort Worth, TX
Cabinets & Countertops installation and refacing in Fort Worth typically runs $4,500 to $18,000 depending on scope: a full kitchen of new stock cabinets starts around $4,500 installed, semi-custom runs $9,000 to $14,000, and full custom work with premium brands like KraftMaid or Wellborn lands between $14,000 and $18,000. Refacing usually costs 40 to 60 percent less than replacement because the cabinet boxes stay put while doors, drawer fronts, and veneers get replaced. Bradford Remodeling Co Fort Worth puts every one of those numbers in writing before a single tool comes out, and backs the finished work with a 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (682) 204-4897 for a straight number on your kitchen.
We handle cabinet work as part of our broader Kitchen Remodeling service, which means the crew that shows up understands how cabinets tie into countertops, backsplash, plumbing rough-ins, and appliances. Curtis Lane runs the Fort Worth operation. The work gets done by background-checked, uniformed technicians who answer to a written scope, not to whatever feels convenient that morning. If you have been burned by a contractor who ghosted mid-job or re-quoted at the door, the way we run cabinet work is designed to eliminate exactly that.
When You Need Cabinet Installation & Refacing
Most Fort Worth homeowners reach the point where the cabinets are the loudest problem in the room. The Kitchen Design & Layout works, the boxes are square, but the doors are delaminating, the finish is worn through at the handles, or the hinges sag. Other kitchens have boxes that are beyond saving: water damage from a slow sink leak, particleboard swelling, or framing that was never square to begin with.
These are the situations where cabinet installation or refacing is the right call:
- Boxes are solid but doors are done. If the cabinet frames are level and square, refacing replaces doors, drawer fronts, hinges, and veneer. You keep a working layout and get a finish that looks new.
- Layout no longer works. Kitchens in older Fort Worth neighborhoods like Wedgwood or Ridglea Hills were often built with one blind corner cabinet and almost no drawer stack. New installation lets you pull that out and put in full-extension drawers.
- Water damage around the sink base or dishwasher. Fort Worth hard water and Texas humidity take a toll. Swollen particleboard under the sink rarely dries out; it needs replacement before it compromises the countertop above.
- You are doing counters and cabinets at once. If the countertop is coming off anyway, that is the cheapest moment to address cabinets. You are already paying for demo and templating.
- Hinge and slide hardware is failing. Euro-style hinges and soft-close slides wear out. On older face-frame cabinets, the hinge mortises get wallowed out and screws stop biting.
- The boxes are fine but the finish is 1990s oak. A full replacement is overkill. Refacing to a painted or modern stain gives the kitchen a new look without tearing out drywall and flooring.
If the cabinet boxes are delaminating, pulling away from the wall, or swelling at the base, refacing will not fix them. We will tell you that on the estimate. Bradford does not sell refacing where replacement is the honest answer.
Our Cabinet Installation & Refacing Process
We run cabinet work like a construction sequence, not a furniture delivery. The process is written, scheduled, and identical for every job in Fort Worth:
- Measurement and scope. We measure the existing layout, check for square, inspect the substrate behind the cabinets, and confirm what is staying and what is being replaced. Every dimension goes into a written scope. You approve it before we order anything.
- Material selection with real brands. We spec from a documented roster: KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinets, Cambria for surfaces when counters are involved. You pick door style, finish, and hardware from actual samples, not photos on a phone.
- Written price. The estimate is a number on paper. It includes labor, materials, disposal, and finish work. It does not move at the door. If something changes mid-job, we write a change order and get your signature before proceeding. That is The Garrison Standard.
- Controlled demo and prep. Existing cabinets come out carefully so drywall and flooring survive where possible. We check the wall framing behind the boxes for level and plumb, and shim where needed. Nobody slaps new boxes onto a wall that is out of square.
- Install, adjust, and finish. Cabinets get set, leveled, and secured. Doors and drawers get adjusted until the reveals are even and the soft-close catches correctly. Crown and light rail get installed tight to the ceiling or soffit where the plan calls for it.
- Final walkthrough and written guarantee. Site is swept, hardware is checked, and you walk the job with the lead tech before we leave. You receive the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if the work fails within one year, we come back and correct it at no charge.
What “squared away” looks like at close: clean site, no missing filler pieces, no drawers that rub, no surprises on the invoice. That is the standard we work to on every cabinet job.
Cabinet Installation & Refacing Pricing in Fort Worth
Here are honest ranges for the Fort Worth market as of the current season. These are starting points for budgeting, not a substitute for a measured estimate. The free estimate is the real number.
- Refacing, average Fort Worth kitchen (10-14 cabinet openings): $6,000 to $9,500. New doors, drawer fronts, veneer on face frames, new hinges and hardware.
- Stock cabinet installation, small kitchen (8-10 openings): $4,500 to $7,000 including labor, hardware, and disposal of old cabinets.
- Semi-custom installation (KraftMaid or equivalent), average kitchen: $9,000 to $14,000. Full kitchens with drawer stacks, crown, and upgraded finishes.
- Full custom or premium line (Wellborn, custom paint finishes): $14,000 to $18,000. This is where you are changing the layout, adding pantry cabinets, or spec’ing furniture-grade finishes.
- Full kitchen remodel including cabinets, counters (Cambria), and installation: $22,000 to $45,000. Cabinets are typically 35 to 45 percent of that number.
What moves the price in Fort Worth:
- Cabinet count and box count. More boxes means more material and more labor. A 24-box kitchen is not double a 12-box kitchen, but it is close.
- Door style and finish. Flat-panel laminate doors cost less than raised-panel hardwood. Painted finishes cost more than natural stain on MDF-adjacent materials.
- Interior upgrades. Soft-close everything, roll-out trays, drawer organizers, pull-out trash bins. These add real utility and real cost.
- Wall conditions. Older Fort Worth homes with plaster or uneven framing need shimming and sometimes blocking before cabinets go up. A house in Arlington Heights built in 1950 takes more prep than a 2015 build in Walsh Ranch.
- Disposal and access. Second-floor kitchens, long carries, and Tarrant County disposal fees all add line items.
Every estimate from Bradford Remodeling Co Fort Worth is a written price before work starts. No sealed bids, no “we will see how it goes.” If the number changes for a legitimate reason, it changes in writing and you approve it first. Call (682) 204-4897 for a free cabinet estimate.
FAQs – Cabinet Installation & Refacing
Is it cheaper to reface or replace cabinets in Fort Worth?
Refacing is almost always cheaper than Full Kitchen Remodeling: $6,000 to $9,500 for an average Fort Worth kitchen versus $9,000 to $18,000 for new semi-custom or custom installation. Refacing saves money because the cabinet boxes, which hold the bulk of material, stay in place while only doors, drawer fronts, and veneer get replaced. That said, refacing only makes sense if the boxes are square and structurally sound. If the boxes have water damage or are pulling from the wall, replacement is the only honest option. Call (682) 204-4897 and we will measure and tell you which one applies to your kitchen.
How much does cabinet refacing cost per cabinet in Fort Worth?
Cabinet refacing in Fort Worth typically runs $350 to $600 per cabinet opening when the job includes new doors, drawer fronts, veneer, hinges, and hardware. An average kitchen with 12 to 14 openings lands in the $6,000 to $9,500 range for the complete job. Door style drives most of the per-box variation: flat-panel thermofoil costs less than painted hardwood. We give you the whole number in writing before work starts, so the per-box math is for your planning, not our invoice. Call (682) 204-4897 for a measured, written estimate.
How long does cabinet installation take in Fort Worth?
Most cabinet installations in Fort Worth take 3 to 5 working days for a full kitchen, assuming the walls are in reasonable shape and materials are on site before demo starts. Refacing typically runs 2 to 4 days because there is less demolition and no wall repair involved. Custom orders can add 4 to 8 weeks of lead time before install day arrives. We schedule the whole sequence in writing, including a start date and a walkthrough date, so you know when the kitchen is back in service. Call (682) 204-4897 and we will give you a realistic timeline for your scope.
Can you install cabinets I already bought?
Yes, Bradford Remodeling Co Fort Worth installs customer-supplied cabinets, with one caveat: we inspect the boxes before we commit to install them. If the cabinets are damaged, out of square, or missing hardware, we will tell you before we touch the wall. Installation of customer-supplied cabinets is priced by the opening and runs $150 to $300 per box in Fort Worth depending on wall conditions and complexity. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our labor: if an installed cabinet fails within the year because of our workmanship, we return and fix it. For the cleanest result, we recommend sourcing through our documented brands like KraftMaid and Wellborn, where manufacturer specs are known. Call (682) 204-4897 to talk through what you have.
Do you reface cabinets that have water damage?
No. Water-damaged cabinets do not get refaced; they get replaced. Swollen particleboard, delaminated plywood, or mold inside the box means the structural substrate is compromised, and putting new veneer over it just hides a failing box for a year or two until it fails again at the hinge. If the damage is limited to a single cabinet, like the sink base, we can replace that box and reface the rest of the kitchen to match. The honest answer at the estimate is what we give, even when refacing would be the cheaper line item. That is the whole point of a written scope from Bradford.
Why Fort Worth Homeowners Choose Bradford for Cabinet Work
Cabinet installation is the kind of work where disciplined crews and sloppy crews get the same work order but very different kitchens. The difference is in the reveal gaps on the doors, the scribe at the wall, the way the crown meets the ceiling in a house that has settled. We come from the Fort Worth residential market: houses in Tanglewood, Mistletoe Heights, and Fairmount with 80-year-old plaster and framing that has moved since Truman was in office. We know how to shim, block, and set a cabinet line that stays straight when the house is not.
Curtis Lane has run Bradford Remodeling Co Fort Worth under The Garrison Standard since this location joined the Garrison Partners family. Every technician who walks through your door is background-checked and uniformed. You know who is coming before the truck pulls up. Every job gets a written price. Every finished job gets a one-year written guarantee, the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails inside that window, we return and correct it at no charge. That promise is not verbal; it is a document with our name on it.
We spec name-brand materials so quality is not left up to whatever the supply house had on the shelf that week. KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry. Cambria for surfaces when the job touches counters. James Hardie materials on exterior scopes where the kitchen ties into outdoor living. Manufacturer specs remain traceable, and manufacturer warranties sit behind our own guarantee. When you ask what a door is made of, we can show you the spec sheet.
And when you call Bradford Remodeling Co Fort Worth at (682) 204-4897, a live person answers. Day or night, weekday or weekend. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback queue. The same discipline we apply to cabinet scribes we apply to the phone. If you have been left waiting by a contractor, this is a different experience from the first ring.
