Four Ways to a Better Kitchen
Kitchen Cabinet Services in Princeton, NJ
Refresh, Reface, or Rebuild: We Do It All
Most cabinet companies sell one thing. A painter wants to paint. A showroom wants to sell new boxes. Princeton Cabinet Co. does all four kinds of cabinet work, so our advice starts with your kitchen, not our product.
That matters because the gap in price is huge. Painting a typical New Jersey kitchen can start around $2,800. Full replacement can top $40,000. Somewhere in that range is the right answer for your home, your budget, and how long you plan to stay. We'll help you find it at a free in-home visit, and we'll put the options side by side on one written quote.
Our Cabinet Services
Cabinet Refacing
Cabinet refacing gives you a new-looking kitchen without tearing anything out. We keep your cabinet boxes, cover them with fresh wood veneer or laminate, and install new doors, drawer fronts, hinges, and pulls. Your counters, sink, and appliances stay right where they are, so your kitchen keeps working while we're there.
Most Princeton-area refacing jobs take three to five days in your home and cost about 40% to 50% less than full replacement. It's the right choice when your boxes are solid wood or plywood and your layout already works for you. We check both during a free visit and give you a written quote with clear material options.
Learn more →Custom Kitchen Cabinets
Custom kitchen cabinets are made to fit your room down to the inch. You pick the wood, the door style, the finish, and the inside layout of every drawer and pantry. There are no filler strips hiding gaps and no settling for the closest stock size. Custom work shines in older Princeton homes and odd-shaped rooms. It also suits anyone who wants inset doors or a furniture look.
We also offer semi-custom lines. They give you more choice than stock cabinets for less than full custom. During a free design visit, we measure your space, talk through how you cook and store things, and price both paths so you can compare. Then we sketch your layout and walk you through every detail before anything is built.

When your cabinets are past saving, we replace them. Our crew removes your old cabinets, hauls them away, and installs new ones that are level, square, and tight to your walls. We work with stock, semi-custom, and custom lines, and we can install cabinets you've bought yourself. Every job ends with adjusted doors, aligned drawers, and a clean kitchen.
Replacement is the right move when boxes are water damaged, sagging, or made of swollen particleboard. It's also the way to go when you want a new layout, an island, or taller uppers. At a free visit, we check your cabinets. Then we tell you plainly if you need new ones or if refacing would save you money.
Learn more →Cabinet Painting & Refinishing
Cabinet painting is the fastest, lowest-cost way to give your kitchen a new look. We remove your doors and drawer fronts, clean off years of grease, sand, prime, and spray them with a hard, smooth finish. The cabinet frames are painted in your kitchen with the room masked off. When we're done, your cabinets look like they came from the factory that way.
Most painting jobs in the Princeton area take five to seven days and cost far less than refacing or replacement. It's the best choice when your cabinet boxes and doors are solid wood or MDF and you like your door style. We'll check your cabinets during a free visit and tell you if paint will hold up or if another option is a better bet.

Start with your cabinet boxes. If they're solid and you like your layout, painting or refacing will save you the most. If they're damaged or you want a new layout, replacement or custom is the way to go. Not sure? That's what the free visit is for.
