Understanding Cabinet Refacing

Cabinet refacing is a great option for homeowners in San Francisco, San Mateo, and beyond who want to update their kitchens without the high cost of a full replacement. The process involves replacing cabinet doors and drawer fronts while keeping the existing cabinet frames. This method provides a fresh, updated look with several advantages.

A professional tile flooring installation follows these key steps:


  • Removing Old Flooring – Clearing away outdated tiles, wood, or carpet.
  • Subfloor Preparation – Leveling the surface and installing a new base if needed.
  • Tile Layout and Cutting – Aligning tiles precisely and cutting them to fit corners and obstacles.
  • Grouting and Sealing – Filling gaps between tiles and applying a protective sealant.


The entire process can take several days, depending on the room size and tile complexity.
