Cabinet Refacing in Del Mar, CA.

Why is cabinet refacing different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal homes often have dated oak or builder-grade cabinets that are still structurally sound, just sun-faded and salt-worn. Refacing in Coronado, Imperial Beach, and Del Mar trades a marine-grade RTF or paint-grade door for the original, swaps hinges to soft-close, and adds new hardware. The result is a new look without demo and without disturbing the existing plumbing walls.
