        "text": "Lighting can be improved without replacing every cabinet, but the best method depends on cabinet construction, backsplash access, existing wiring, and the desired concealment. Surface-mounted linear fixtures may be less disruptive, while recessed or integrated systems can look cleaner but may require more planning or cabinet modification. Elite Remodeling & Design can assess whether lighting should be installed within existing cabinetry, beneath it, or as part of a future cabinet replacement. Identify whether you need light now or want to preserve the option for a later kitchen remodel. Ask how each option affects access for repairs and the finished backsplash. A modest upgrade may be sensible when the layout works, while a full redesign can be more efficient if cabinets are already being replaced.",

        "description": "Often, yes. Surface-mounted fixtures, retrofit systems, or carefully routed under-cabinet lighting may work with existing cabinets. The choice depends on cabinet construction, backsplash access, wiring, concealment, repair access, and whether a larger kitchen remodel is planned soon."
