        "text": "Start by deciding whether you need a cosmetic update or a full cabinet replacement. A consultation with Elite Remodeling & Design can review the layout, cabinet condition, storage problems, and related countertop, plumbing, or electrical work before materials are chosen.\n\n**Context:** Replacing cabinets in the same general locations is simpler than changing walls, appliances, or utility connections. Hidden water damage, uneven floors, and out-of-square walls can affect the plan.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Cabinet box condition and moisture damage\n- Desired storage, door style, and accessibility\n- Appliance dimensions and clearances\n- Whether the sink, lighting, gas, or electrical service will move\n\n**Practical guidance:** Photograph the existing kitchen, measure appliances, and list the problems you want solved. Ask for a written scope that separates cabinets from countertops, finish work, and trade changes.\n\nElite Remodeling & Design can coordinate design development and construction planning as one residential remodeling project.",
