Can you reface cabinets instead of replacing them? Often, yes. If the boxes are solid and square, Lakeway Custom Cabinets can install new doors, refinish the boxes, and swap hardware for a fraction of a full replacement cost.
This works well for the older cabin-style homes around Point Venture and Briarcliff, where the original cabinetry structure still has life left in it, even if the finish doesn't.
