Buildda Tip
Before deciding whether to reface or replace your cabinets, open them up and check the boxes themselves. If the plywood or particleboard is delaminating, water-damaged, or the hinges are pulling out of soft material, new doors on bad boxes will not hold up. Solid boxes with outdated doors are great candidates for refacing - it can save you a significant amount without sacrificing quality.

Our Process
We walk your kitchen with you, take detailed measurements, discuss what works and what does not, and talk about your goals and budget. You get honest feedback on what is realistic.
We create a design plan with layout options, cabinet styles, countertop materials, and fixture selections. You see renderings before we break ground so there are no surprises.
We handle all permit applications for electrical, plumbing, and structural work. Materials are ordered and lead times confirmed before demolition begins.
Existing cabinets, counters, and flooring come out. Plumbing, electrical, and any structural changes happen during rough-in. Inspections are scheduled as required.
Cabinets go in first, followed by countertops, backsplash, flooring, and fixtures. This is where the kitchen starts coming together quickly.
Appliances are connected, hardware installed, touch-ups completed, and everything cleaned. We walk you through the finished kitchen and make sure you are satisfied before we call it done.
