What cabinet hardware finish is most popular in San Diego?
Brushed nickel is the most popular hardware finish in San Diego kitchens and bathrooms across all price points, followed closely by matte black for more contemporary kitchens. Brushed nickel reads as clean and neutral, pairs with most cabinet colors, and holds up well without showing fingerprints. Matte black hardware on white shaker doors is a common request on renovation projects targeting the current San Diego buyer market.
Does my new hardware have to match the existing hole pattern?
Not necessarily, but matching is the easiest path. The most common two-hole pull center is 3 inches, 3.75 inches, or 5 inches. If you switch to a pull with a different center distance, new holes need to be drilled and the old holes filled and finished. On painted doors, the fill and repaint is usually invisible. On thermofoil or stained wood doors, hole fills can be visible. The crews we refer show you the options at the estimate.
