Full gut remodels, cabinet refacing, custom cabinets, countertops, islands, backsplashes, and open-concept wall removal for this neighborhood and the rest of San Diego County. We match you with one insured crew that handles the whole kitchen and quotes it in writing.

Santee is mostly 1970s-90s single-family with newer build-outs on the eastern edge, and full remodels here typically run $35,000-$80,000. Hotter summers, dust, and older housing stock mean the crews we send often upgrade panel capacity for induction ranges and run dedicated 20-amp small-appliance circuits. Santee has its own city permitting and inspections.

Is cabinet refinishing the same as cabinet refacing?

No. Refinishing sands and re-stains or repaints the doors you already have. Refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts and puts fresh veneer on the boxes, so the style, color, and hardware all change together. The crews we match you with in Santee handle refacing and full cabinet replacement, not stain-only refinishing. If your boxes are solid and you only want a new look, refacing is usually the better value.
