Cabinet Refacing in Rancho Santa Fe, CA.
Cabinet Refacing for Rancho Santa Fe 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 North County Inland San Diego?
Escondido, San Marcos, and Valley Center homes are good candidates for refacing when the boxes are in good shape but the doors read as dated. We typically specify paint-grade MDF shaker doors in a soft white or warm gray, with new hardware and a single soft-close upgrade. A reface in this region usually costs 40-50% of a full tear-out and finishes in 3-5 working days.
