Repair first, then decide
A cabinet job in a Decatur house doesn't have to mean a new kitchen. Many start with one problem: a hinge torn out of particle board, a drawer box coming apart, a sink base floor gone soft from a leak under the trap. A repair visit fixes those and gives the cabinet maker a look at the rest. If most boxes are sound, refacing or painting can make sense. If water has reached several boxes, a rebuild is usually the better spend.
Fix the leak before anything is rebuilt. A new sink base over a dripping trap fails the same way the old one did. When the base is replaced, ask for plywood or another moisture-resistant panel on the floor of the cabinet, since that is the part that sits under every drip.
Older homes in town
Decatur's downtown grew up around the Adams County Courthouse, finished in 1873 and now on the National Register. If your house predates 1978 and the cabinets carry old paint, removing or sanding them can fall under the EPA lead-safe rule. Mention the age of the house when you call, so the right contractor comes out.
Permits in Adams County
