Cabinet Refacing in Imperial Beach, CA.

If your cabinet boxes are still solid but the doors are dated, the laminate is peeling, or the color is stuck in the 90s, refacing gives you a brand new look at a fraction of the cost of a full tear-out. We replace doors, drawer fronts, and veneer skins, swap to soft-close hinges, and add new hardware so the kitchen reads as a remodel without the mess of a gut job..
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.
