        "text": "You can often remodel without replacing every cabinet if the existing boxes are sound, square, dry, and compatible with the desired layout. Refacing or replacing doors may lower disruption, but it limits changes to storage, cabinet dimensions, and the overall arrangement.\n\nContext: Cabinet replacement makes more sense when boxes have water damage, weak construction, poor proportions, or unusable interiors. A kitchen design review should compare reuse, refacing, semi-custom, and fully custom options.\n\nKey factors:\n- Moisture, swelling, sagging, and loose joints\n- Whether the layout needs to change\n- Desired drawer capacity and accessories\n- Compatibility with new appliances and countertops\n\nPractical guidance: Have the cabinet boxes inspected before assuming refacing is economical. Compare the finished appearance and functional changes—not just the door price.\n\nElite Remodeling & Design can include cabinetry decisions within a broader kitchen remodeling evaluation.",
