Custom doors in Tierrasanta, CA.
Custom doors for Tierrasanta homes, done by licensed San Diego County cabinet refacing crews. Stock cabinet door sizes cover most standard-dimension kitchens, but San Diego homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often have cabinet openings that do not match any standard size, and custom doors are required for a precise fit. We connect homeowners with insured local cabinet crews that measure each opening exactly, order custom-fabricated doors in the correct dimensions and profile, and install them for a fit that looks like it was built that way from the start..
Why is custom doors different in Central San Diego?
Central San Diego homes from the 1960s and 1970s in Mira Mesa, Kearny Mesa, and Tierrasanta often have cabinet openings that were built to the builder's field dimensions rather than any standard nominal size. Custom door orders for these kitchens are measured on site by the crews we refer rather than relying on homeowner measurements, since an error in dimension on a custom door order typically means a reorder delay and added cost. Flat-panel and shaker custom doors in painted MDF are the most common custom request in central San Diego kitchens.

For full overlay, the door is sized to cover the face frame opening with a specific reveal (usually 1/8 inch on each side between adjacent doors).
