Try googling kitchen cabinet doors. There are companies that will make new doors to your specifications that you can then install on the existing framework. They are much cheaper than even the cheapest new cabinets.

I have cheap cabinets from Lowes in my current kitchen. They are almost three years old and have held up very well. The KD told me I wouldn't be happy with them, but we had basically gutted the house on purchase and I needed a kitchen right then (besides budget constraints) so we just bought what they had in stock. Here is a picture.

Good Luck

How about grabbing a brush and painting your existing cabinets (how nice that they're already primed)? In a couple days your plates are back where they belong. Or go check out Ikea. Really. Unless you hate the styles available, it's a great option. Your handy guys can install them.

I think repairing the floor is going to take some $$ so you may find that you need to paint the cabs you have and put the money in flooring.

You could hire a local Handyman (call your independent hardware stores and ask for referrals) to do a lot of the work. Lowes or HD can do the formica counters. I've used them on 3 different projects for formica counters and have been happy with the result.

If you're not up to painting the cabinets, call your local paint store and again ask for referrals. Someone may want a small indoor job this time of the year.

I am so sorry for your mess! I have had American Woodmark cabinets in my kitchen for over 20 years (contractor installed) the boxes are veneered particle board and the doors appear to be all wood, oak I think.

When I started my remodel, I felt they were still in pretty good shape and wanted to just update the layout and add more, but was unable to match them (style and color are both obsolete).

I think if budget was a strong issue, I would consider them again. Good luck with your project!
