Partial and full cabinet replacement
Remodeling does not have to be all or nothing. Replace the cabinets that need it, keep the ones that do not, and finish everything so it looks like one kitchen.
Partial replacement
Taller wall cabinets, a new island, a desk turned into storage, a few cabinets added or removed. The rest of the kitchen is refaced to match.
Jump to partial →Full replacement
Cabinets that are failing, or layout changes the current cabinets cannot support. Without the full gut remodel.

Replace the uppers, reface the lowers
One of the best ways to get a full-remodel feel without the full-remodel cost is to replace all your upper cabinets and reface the lower ones.
It works best going from 30 inch to 42 inch wall cabinets, often with crown molding. The upper cabinets are what you see first, and you skip tearing out the countertop and replacing the more expensive base cabinets.
Add, remove or re-purpose cabinets
Add or remove cabinets
Add a cabinet to a blank wall, remove one for open shelving, or raise a low-hanging microwave with a shorter cabinet above.
Re-purpose the desk
Desk areas are the most common spot we change: a coffee bar, a beverage center or deep pots and pans drawers.
Change what a cabinet does
Turn a base cabinet into pots and pans drawers or add a trash pull-out without replacing the cabinet at all.

When replacing everything is the right answer
Sometimes cabinets are old and unstable, or you want layout changes that the current cabinets cannot support. While our specialty is working with what you have, we also replace full kitchens.
The best case is keeping plumbing and appliances where they are. We do not take on major remodels that move walls or mechanicals, but we can supply and set cabinets if you handle that work separately.
If you replace your base cabinets, you will need new countertops too, and we supply countertops through local fabricators. Flooring and tile work best when the new cabinets sit in the same footprint as the old ones.
Questions we hear a lot
Will new cabinets match the ones you reface?
That is the point of designing them together. New and existing cabinets get the same doors, finish and trim so the kitchen reads as one.
Should I go from 30 inch to 42 inch uppers?
If your ceilings allow it, it is one of the most dramatic changes you can make. It makes the whole kitchen look remodeled while the lowers and countertop stay.
Do you replace countertops?
Yes, through local fabricators, when the project needs it. If you love your current countertops, refacing the lower cabinets lets you keep them.
Do you move walls, plumbing or electrical?
No. We focus on cabinets. For bigger changes we can work alongside the contractors you choose.
