r/HomeImprovement on Reddit: Home Depot Cabinet Resurfacing

July 31, 2021 -

MI- My husband and I bought our house a few months ago and have come to realize the kitchen cabinets are terrible and ugly and were painted very poorly. We have a very small one wall kitchen with a few cabinets above the fridge on the opposite wall. We’ve gotten a few quotes from other companies ranging from full cabinet removal & replacement to refinishing/wrapping. These estimates ranged from $14,000-$24,000 and were way more than we were expecting so we stopped quote shopping.

We went to Home Depot for paint for a different project and got talked into scheduling an appointment with the cabinet designing and resurfacing people at Home Depot today. Kitchen improvements are something we’re both interested in so we went ahead with the appointment. This isn’t our forever home, so we’re not interested in sinking $20,000+ on a completely brand new kitchen - just looking for a bit of an upgrade/improvement.

Has anyone had this service done before? How did it go? Are you happy with the results?

Please understand that Home Depot, Lowe's, and all the other guys do precisely zero amount of the work. They subcontract it all out to local companies that have gone through a screening process. Some of us have had no problems at all. Some have had minor problems what were taken care of. And some of us have had terrible service; sometimes the corporate offices in Atlanta need to be brought in to mediate the dispute. It really seems (to me) to boil down to how well run the local store is run. A great store manager prevents/mediates disputes on his level, so that there is no need to escalate to a higher level.

I looked at having this done when we moved into our new house. When he gave me the quote for 20k I laughed him out of the house. 20k can get you pretty close to an almost full kitchen remodel.

Refacing my thermoplastic cabinets and the contractor through Home Depot states this is acceptable quality? He want to just color with a marker thing and says it doesn't matter because it's behind the cabinet door.. IMO this looks like crap from 20k...

seems like an easy fix, also notching edge tape like that is lazy, looks better if the joint lands in line with both pieces. More on reddit.com

Home Depot cabinet makeover

That's the price I would expect for all new cabinets, not a refacing. HD has a tendency to be overpriced in the cabinet department. More on reddit.com

Home Depot kitchen installation: how accurate are quotes and how good is work?

Home Depot has a process that allows a contractor to be an “approved” service provider: https://www.homedepot.com/services/c/partnership-overview/1dcd27833 It is not hard to get on the list. My experience is that just about any company (no matter how big or small) can get approved No Home Depot employee will inspect the remodel, and unfortunately disputes are not uncommon. And HD is not known for mediating these cases: https://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/can-i-sue-home-depot-for-an-unfinished-repair-to-a-2968227.html I personally have had great experiences with my local approved providers. They were knowledgable, on time, and within budget. Can’t tell you if I am the exception or the rule. Post to subreddits local to your area to see what experiences your neighbors have had.
