Kitchen Facelift in Denver
A kitchen facelift is the budget-friendly refresh that makes a dated Denver kitchen feel new again, without demolition, without permits, without weeks of disruption.

If your layout works and your cabinets are sound, a facelift delivers the biggest visual transformation per dollar of anything we do.

Kitchen Facelift in Denver · FAQ
How much does a kitchen facelift cost in Denver?
Our kitchen facelift starts at $8,900 for a typical Denver-metro kitchen and takes 3–5 days. The price moves with the number of cabinet doors being spray-finished, your backsplash size and tile choice, and lighting scope. It is the most affordable of our kitchen packages, compare countertop replacement from $5,200, cabinet refacing from $10,500, or a custom-quoted full remodel. Every facelift estimate is free, in-home, and fixed: the itemized number we hand you is the final price.
What is the difference between a facelift and cabinet refacing?
A facelift keeps and paints your existing doors; refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts entirely with new ones. Facelift (from $8,900) is the right call when your doors are in good shape and you like their style, you are changing color and hardware. Refacing (from $10,500) makes sense when you want a different door style, say, going from 90s arched panels to modern shaker, or when the existing doors are too worn to paint well. We assess your doors at the free estimate and recommend honestly.
Will painted cabinets hold up, or will the finish chip?
Done professionally, yes they hold up, the difference is prep and application. We deep-clean and degrease (critical in working kitchens), sand, prime with a bonding primer, and spray the finish rather than rolling or brushing it. Spraying is what produces the smooth, factory-like surface that resists chipping and wipes clean. DIY brushed paint jobs fail because of skipped prep and brush marks that trap grime; a professionally sprayed finish in a busy Denver family kitchen holds up for years, and our 1-year labor warranty backs that.
Does a kitchen facelift require a permit in Denver?
No. A facelift is purely cosmetic, painting, hardware, backsplash tile, and plug-in or switched under-cabinet lighting, so no permit is needed through Denver or any metro building department. That is part of why it is fast and affordable: no inspections, no structural work, no plumbing moves. If your project grows to include electrical, plumbing, or layout changes, it becomes a remodel, and as a licensed contractor we pull those permits for you. For homes built before 1978, we are EPA Lead-Safe Certified, so prep sanding is done safely.
Do you do kitchen facelifts near me outside Denver proper?
Yes, we are based in Aurora and serve the whole metro. Denver, Aurora, Broomfield, Parker, and Highlands Ranch are our core areas, and we regularly work in Lakewood, Arvada, Centennial, Littleton, Thornton, Westminster, Golden, Boulder, and surrounding communities. If you are looking for a kitchen facelift company near me anywhere along the Front Range, the free in-home estimate, fixed pricing, and 3–5 day timeline are the same everywhere we work. Call 720.705.1461 to schedule.
Can I add new countertops to a facelift?
Absolutely, it is our most popular combination. A facelift plus countertop replacement (from $5,200, installed in 1–2 days) covers every visible surface in your kitchen: cabinets, hardware, counters, backsplash, and lighting, all in about a week total, for far less than a full remodel. We sequence the work so counters go in before the backsplash, and you get one fixed, itemized quote for the whole package rather than juggling two contractors.
