How Much Does It Cost to Replace Kitchen Handles?

When it comes to giving your kitchen a quick and stylish refresh, replacing the handles on your cabinets and drawers is an easy win - as we always say here at Handle House: New Handles, New Look! Whether you're looking to upgrade to something modern or just replace the old, tired ones, knowing how much it will cost is a good place to start.

Spoiler alert: It depends a lot on the type of handles you choose and how many you've got.

How Many Handles Does Your Kitchen Have?

Most kitchens will have anywhere from 10 to 30 handles, depending on the size and layout. Think about every drawer, cupboard, or pantry door you open—each of those likely has a handle that might be ready for an upgrade! The number of handles you need to replace will affect the overall cost, so it's good to have a count before you start shopping.

Price Ranges for Kitchen Handles

Not all handles are created equal, and that’s a good thing because it means you can find handles to fit your budget, no matter what it is.

• Affordable Handles: If you’re looking to save some cash and still give your kitchen a fresh look, cheap handles will cost you between $100 and $300 for the whole kitchen. You’ll find basic designs in materials like plastic or basic metal, which still get the job done while keeping the wallet happy.

• Mid-Range Handles: If you’re after something a bit more stylish without breaking the bank, expect to spend between $200 and $400. These handles offer better materials like stainless steel or brushed nickel and give your kitchen a modern upgrade without going too fancy.

• Designer Handles: Want to go all out and make a statement? Designer handles will run you between $300 and $700. These are for people looking for unique designs, custom finishes, or high-end materials like brass or bronze. Perfect for creating a truly luxe feel.

Note: from time to time we will have clearance handles available which will be even less expensive - it's always worth contacting us to see what we have available.

Installation: DIY or Professional?

If you’re handy (pun intended), you might want to tackle this project yourself and save on installation costs. Most handles are straightforward to replace. But if your kitchen has custom cabinetry or you’re worried about drilling holes incorrectly, hiring a professional might be the way to go. Installation costs can vary, but generally, you’re looking at a total of about $100 to $300 depending on the complexity of the job.

Why Replace Your Handles?

Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. Swapping out old, dated handles can completely change the look of your kitchen without the need for a full remodel. Plus, it’s a quick and easy project that can be done in a day!
