What should I expect to recover if I do a refacing of kitchen cabinets?
Refacing can cost more then replacing. Do not paint your cabinets unless you hire someone who knows how to paint cabinets or they will look like you painted them. Do not reface with the cheapest person they will look bad. On average they can cost the same as new. If your cabinets are solid wood. Then refinish them with a refinishing company do not paint.
