Cabinet Refacing in San Ysidro, CA.
Cabinet Refacing for San Ysidro 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 South County San Diego?
Chula Vista and San Ysidro tract homes have builder-grade cabinets that are prime refacing candidates. We replace the doors in a paint-grade shaker, add a single soft-close hinge and full-extension drawer, and update the toe-kick and end panels for a built-in look. Refacing keeps the project inside the existing footprint, which matters on the smaller lots common in this region.
