– The Service

Cabinetry for a City Built Mostly in One Era

If your Mission Viejo kitchen or bathroom still has the honey-oak cabinets that were standard when most of the city was built out through the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, you’re not the only one asking about a kitchen cabinet remodel. Cabinet refacing keeps the existing boxes and replaces doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, a lower-cost option when the cabinet boxes are still structurally sound, which most of that era’s cabinetry actually is.

When refacing isn’t enough, full kitchen cabinet installation with quality kitchen materials and creative storage solutions gets built around your actual space rather than a standard size pulled off a shelf. Custom countertop installation is usually part of the same project, we coordinate countertops materials and cabinetry as one job rather than two separate vendors working from two separate plans.

- Built to Your Standards

Refacing, Replacement, or Somewhere In Between

We’ll tell you honestly which option your cabinets actually call for. If the boxes are solid, cabinet refacing gets you a modern look at a fraction of full replacement cost. If they’re not, or if you want to change the layout, kitchen cabinet installation with new boxes is the better long-term investment even though it costs more upfront. Designer kitchen fixtures and hardware get selected to match either direction.

Kitchen island installation is one of the more common upgrades we build into a Mission Viejo cabinetry project, adding storage and counter space that a lot of original 1980s and 90s kitchens simply didn’t include. We match the island’s finish to the rest of the cabinetry so it reads as one design, not an addition.
