A Project-Specific RecommendationStart with the cabinets—not a one-size-fits-all package
McDonough kitchens can be updated by retaining the cabinet boxes and changing the most visible surfaces. Refinishing preserves the existing profile; redooring creates a larger style shift with new doors and drawer fronts measured for the current openings.
Cabinet finishing and cabinet carpentry are different decisions. For a McDonough home, the written plan connects the appropriate surface preparation with any door, drawer, hinge, trim, or hardware work while keeping exclusions visible.
For McDonough projects, we pay particular attention to large cabinet elevations, hoods, islands, and scope clarity. The final recommendation still depends on the cabinet condition, layout, and goals in that home.
