Solid cabinet boxes don't need to be ripped out just because the doors look dated. A lot of builder-grade boxes in newer Schertz homes are structurally fine, the finish is just old.
Schertz Custom Cabinets refaces cabinets with new doors, drawer fronts, and veneer over existing boxes, a lower-cost alternative to full replacement when the boxes are sound.

FAQs
Cabinet Refacing And Refinishing FAQs
Is it cheaper to reface cabinets or replace them entirely?
Refacing usually costs less since it keeps the existing boxes. Full replacement makes sense when boxes are damaged or the layout is changing.
How do I know if my cabinet boxes need replacing or just the doors?
Solid boxes with dated doors are good candidates for refacing. Water damage, swelling, or structural weakness usually means replacement.
How long does cabinet refacing take?
Refacing is typically faster than full replacement, often 1-3 weeks depending on scope.
Do I need a permit for cabinet refacing?
Usually not, since it's cosmetic work. Confirm with your local building office if you're unsure.
Can I paint my cabinets myself instead of refacing?
Painting doors yourself is a reasonable DIY option. Matched veneer work and new fronts are better handled by a cabinet shop.
