SOUND BOXES
Refacing only makes sense on sound boxes
Refacing keeps your cabinet boxes and layout and replaces what you see: doors, drawer fronts, veneers, trim and hardware. We check box condition, especially the sink base, before recommending it, and we plan fillers, finished ends and hinge clearances so the new fronts open properly.
- Inspect the sink base and any cabinet that has seen water.
- Confirm the layout works; refacing will not fix a bad layout.
- Plan finished ends, fillers and trim with the doors.
- Choose hinges and hardware that fit the new doors and the way you use them.
