Cabinet Refacing in Lemon Grove, CA.
Cabinet Refacing for Lemon Grove homes, done by insured San Diego County remodelers we match to your project. 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 Central San Diego?
Older central San Diego, National City, and La Mesa homes frequently have 1970s and 80s cabinets with solid boxes but laminated doors that are peeling. Refacing here replaces the doors and drawer fronts, wraps the boxes in a new RTF or wood veneer, and adds a single soft-close hinge and full-extension glide throughout. The layout stays put so the project moves fast and the cost stays well below replacement.
