Cabinet Services
Cabinets typically represent 30-40% of your kitchen remodel budget and have the biggest visual impact. We offer multiple options to fit your goals and budget:
- Cabinet Refacing: Keep your existing cabinet boxes and replace doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. Save 40-50% compared to new cabinets. Ideal when your cabinet layout works well and boxes are in good condition.
