What is Room Squared?

Room Squared brings kitchen design, consultation, lead capture, blog posts, email follow-ups, reminders, and orders together across 86 pages for easy planning.

Is cabinet refacing cheaper than a full kitchen package?

Not always. Refacing typically costs $5,000–$15,000 and doesn't include countertops. Room Squared packages start at $3,199 and bundle cabinets, countertops, hardware, sink, and faucet. We recommend pricing both options fully before deciding.

My cabinet boxes are fine but doors are damaged. Is refacing the right call?

Yes — if the issue is only doors and face frames, not the cabinet boxes themselves, refacing is more cost-efficient. Room Squared is the right choice when you want to replace everything for a complete material refresh.

Does Room Squared do any installation?

No — materials only. Room Squared packages are picked up at our Anaheim location and installed by your contractor of choice.

Cabinet Refacing vs Kitchen Packages vs Full Remodel — Orange County Cost Comparison

Orange County homeowners exploring a kitchen update typically land on three options: cabinet refacing (a popular cabinet refacing alternative in OC), a pre-curated kitchen package, or a full custom remodel. All three can transform how your kitchen looks — but they solve different problems at very different price points. This guide breaks down each option honestly so you can choose the right one for your situation.

What Is Cabinet Refacing?

Cabinet refacing means keeping your existing cabinet boxes in place and replacing only the visible surfaces — doors, drawer fronts, and a veneer applied over the face frames. The interior boxes stay. The layout stays. You get new-looking faces without full replacement.

What refacing typically includes

✓ New cabinet doors and drawer fronts
✓ Veneer applied to face frames and visible box sides
✓ New hinges and hardware (usually)

What refacing does NOT include

✗ New countertops
✗ New sink or faucet
✗ Any change to cabinet layout or size
✗ Interior box repair or replacement

Typical cost in Southern California: $5,000–$15,000 depending on kitchen size and door material.

What Is a Pre-Curated Kitchen Package?

A pre-curated kitchen package is a complete material bundle — cabinets, countertops, hardware, sink, and faucet — selected and matched by a design team and sold as a set.

Room Squared offers six pre-curated packages for Orange County homeowners, starting at $3,199 for a standard 10×10 kitchen, available for local pickup in Anaheim.

What's included

✓ Shaker-style cabinets (white, gray, or natural wood)
✓ Quartz countertops matched to cabinet finish
✓ Hardware (pulls or knobs)
✓ Undermount sink (stainless steel or porcelain)
✓ Faucet (finish coordinated with hardware)

What's not included

— Installation — labor is arranged by you with your own contractor
