Karsten SturmayI used to think I could live with my ugly kitchen cabinets. They were scratched, faded, and stuck in the ‘90s—but I told myself as long as they worked, it was fine.
Then my aunt (you know, that one with too many opinions) pointed out—very sarcastically—that my kitchen “had character.” That was the last straw. I don’t want her talking about the cabinets again the next time she visits.
I looked into my options and quickly realized a full kitchen renovation was more than I wanted to take on (and way above my budget too). That’s when I came across cabinet refacing—an option that updates the look without replacing the entire set-up.
And so, I started digging. I talked to other homeowners, dug up online reviews, and even talked to the actual companies to find the best cabinet refacing services in Edmonton.
Here’s what I found.
How much do refacing services in Edmonton cost?
Cabinet refacing in Edmonton typically costs between $80 and $200 per linear foot, depending on the materials and finishes you choose. For a standard kitchen, that usually works out to around $1,500 to $7,000 total.

Reface Magic has been around for over 20 years, mostly specializing in cabinet refacing. Their crew brings a lot of experience to the table, handling each project with care and skill.
I set up an undercover consultation to see how they work, and what I really appreciated was their practical approach to renovations—especially how they transform spaces without tearing everything apart.
What stood out to me was that they don’t push you to do a full remodel if you don’t want to. They keep things practical and eco-friendly, which I’m all about.
Plus, they offer a wide range of custom options—from cabinet doors and drawer boxes to countertops and pull-out organizers—so you can really tailor your space.
When I chatted with a few past customers, they all mentioned how helpful the in-home design consultations were. It gave them a chance to really figure out what they wanted without feeling rushed.
That said, since they only reface existing cabinets, they can’t help if you want to change your kitchen layout or fix major damage.
Excellent pricing, quality craftsmanship
“We had Reface Magic at our home to upgrade our kitchen cabinets, including new cabinet doors, drawer facings, replacement of a cabinet, new cabinet facings, and some repairs.
We are very happy we chose to use them for many reasons.
Their pricing is excellent, and the ladies in the office are friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful.
Every step of the process for our project was explained in detail to us. The scheduling was accurate and always on time.
The installation crew were polite and careful, and the workmanship is excellent, and they maintained a very clean work site. The quality of materials is excellent as well.
We are very happy with the end result, would use them again, and are happy to recommend them to anyone.”

Professional, detail-oriented, and tidy
“Everyone at Reface Magic was excellent to deal with. Jonathan’s attention to detail was awesome. Kept work area clean & tidy. At end of job had to do little to no cleaning after they were gone. Still need doors for over the range BUT that’s because we changed our minds on what was going there.”

They’ve been around since 2010, so they’ve had over a decade to fine-tune their refinishing techniques, and that’s exactly what they did.
My sister recently worked with Edmonton Cabinet Refinishing, and I got to see the process up close. What stood out to me was how they managed to give her kitchen a completely new look without the mess and expense of a full renovation.
The team walked her through the options without any pressure to upgrade or add unnecessary extras.
They were also upfront about what could and couldn’t be done, which I appreciated.
The final result was impressive—the cabinet looked brand new, and the finish was smooth and durable.
However, one thing to keep in mind is that their schedule can fill up quickly. My sister had to wait a few weeks before they could start the project.
If you’re considering their services, it’s a good idea to plan ahead to accommodate their availability.
Creative, cost-effective cabinet refinishing
“Our kitchen needed to be spruced up and what a great job this team did for us. We can’t thank them enough. We couldn’t necessarily afford replacing all of out kitchen cabinets but they showed us a way to just refinish them and save a boat load of money. Thank you.”

My friend worked with Rebel Refinishing to update their kitchen cabinets, and the results were impressive. They’ve been around since 2016, and from what I’ve seen, they’ve built a pretty decent reputation for detailed, careful work.
What stood out the most was their use of water-based lacquers, which they spray on for a clean, even finish. My friend got to choose the exact color and sheen, which made the result feel way more personal than your standard paint job.
I also talked to some of their past clients and many said the finish still looked great even after a couple of years. They appreciated that Rebel used water-based products instead of anything heavy with chemicals—it felt like a more thoughtful choice.
Aside from cabinets, I found out they also handle furniture touch-ups, antique refinishing, and custom staining. I didn’t realize they offered so much, and it’s cool that they’re open to working on unique or older pieces too.
One thing to keep in mind, though, is that they’re a small team. If you’re hoping to get something done quickly, you might have to plan ahead—they tend to book up fast.
Creative and attentive
“Keshia did amazing work refinishing my grandparents Server/Bar. She listened to what we were looking for and the finished product was beyond what we visioned for this piece. We are not very creative individuals, so we let her diver into her creative genius, and she did not disappoint. We are very happy with the outcome.”

Professional, efficient, and reliable
“I had my kitchen cupboards resurfaced. The whole process was painless, professional and a good experience. I had family coming and she was able to complete the job early so I had my kitchen back! Keshia went above and beyond. I would recommend Keshia for any job she feels she could handle.”

Delton Cabinets brings decades of experience in cabinet work to the table, and it really shows in their services. During my visit, what stood out right away was how organized and methodical the process felt—nothing rushed, nothing cookie-cutter.
What impressed me most was their finishing shop. They specialize in hand-rubbed stains and custom glazes, which give wood cabinets this really rich, layered look. It’s not the kind of thing you get from a quick paint job.
I also spoke to someone who had their cabinets refinished by Delton a while back, and they were still happy with how the color had held up—no fading or chipping.
They handle more than just refinishing too. From cabinet repairs to full-on custom cabinetry, they’ve got options if you’re planning something more complex down the line.
That said, because their refinishing process is pretty detailed, it’s not the fastest. It’s something to keep in mind if you’re on a tight timeline.
Skilled refinishing with helpful guidance
“Very happy with the job Delton did on refinishing my 14 year old cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Laurie was a great help from start to finish. She understood my vision and had great tips along the way.”

Knowledgeable and detail-focused
“Delton Cabinets is excellent. They were informative and helpful with my kitchen design and planning. The finished product was excellent. Josh and Jason were very knowledgable. Shout out to Stephanie B for help with drawer inserts.”

Business hours:

What impressed me most about Best Kitchens Refinishing was their knowledge about long-lasting finishes. They use pre- or post-catalyzed lacquer, which holds up better to daily wear.
I talked to a few people who’ve used their refinishing service, and they all said the lacquer finish felt tougher and shinier than regular paint.
Their refacing options stood out too — they offer acrylic and matte facings that give kitchens a clean, modern look without going overboard. It’s a smart choice if you want to refresh your space without a full remodel.
I also appreciated how they balance quality with a smooth process. From what I gathered, they’re thorough with prep work and finishing touches, which really makes a difference.
That said, focusing on quality means the job isn’t the quickest. If you’re in a rush, their timing might feel slow compared to simpler refinishing services.
Fast, fair, and high-quality
“We had a small fire in our kitchen and the flames damaged the finish on some of our cabinets. We called Val at Best Kitchens and he gave us a fair quote and had the cupboards refinished and reinstalled within a week. The cupboards look amazing. We highly recommend Best Kitchens!”
- Brent Bymoen, Google Review
Honest, efficient, and detail-driven
“Recently, we had our Kitchen cupboards refinished by “Best Kitchen Refinishing.” The owner, Val, is an honest businessman and his workmanship is impeccable. What I appreciated most was Val’s assistance helping me make choices for my vision of what I wanted. Val and his employees completed the job in a timely, professional and efficient manner. Doing my do diligence, reading company reviews, certainly paid off. Five years ago we went into a kitchen renovation blindly and they did a horrible job. Fortunately, that company is no longer in business. Thank you Val, and Best Kitchen Refinishing for a kitchen I now love cooking and entertaining in. I highly recommend Val.”
