Indianapolis-area project planning
Cabinet refinishing cost calculator
Explore how component counts and finish choices change a simplified budget scenario. No contact information is required. The result is illustrative—not an inspection, a binding quote, or a claim about local average prices.
Planning calculator
Illustrative assumptions, not CabinetPro rates or a binding quote.
Understand the assumptions
The model uses $150 per door and $80 per drawer front as illustrative inputs retained from the original tool. These are not published CabinetPro rates. Grain preparation adds 25% to the modeled base; two-tone adds 12% to that adjusted subtotal. The displayed band is ±10%, not a prediction of quote accuracy.
Why an actual quote may be different
- Existing grease, silicone, peeling coatings, and adhesion failures change preparation.
- Cabinet frames, finished ends, appliance panels, islands, interiors, and trim need their own scope.
- Water damage, unstable joints, and failing hardware must be assessed separately.
- Finish selection, color change, grain expectations, access, and cure conditions affect labor and scheduling.
A low component count does not necessarily mean a low-cost job. This tool has no minimum project charge or verified labor schedule, so do not use it to compare bids without matching the written scope.

Is this calculator a CabinetPro price quote?
No. It is an illustrative planning model using assumed component amounts and optional adjustments. It does not establish CabinetPro rates, include every component, or guarantee the final price. A written project assessment confirms actual scope and cost.
Do oak cabinets always require grain filling?
No. Visible oak grain can be an intentional finish choice. Additional grain preparation is relevant when a reduced-texture result is desired and the sample standard is approved. The calculator adjustment is a scenario assumption, not a fixed surcharge.
What should I provide for an actual estimate?
Provide door and drawer-front counts, wide-angle kitchen photos, close-ups of damage, exposed ends and frame surfaces, your location, and your finish goal. Confirm repairs, hardware, interiors, schedule, payment terms, and any applicable warranty in the written proposal.
Does the result include financing or a warranty?
No. The model is not a financing offer or a warranty promise. Ask CabinetPro to confirm available payment arrangements and any applicable written warranty terms for your specific proposal.
