        "text": "Yes, cabinets can often be saved if they were screwed into wall studs rather than glued. Salvaging requires removing doors, drawers, and trim first, then carefully backing out screws between individual face frames and wall anchors without cracking the wood or tearing drywall. However, older particleboard boxes or cabinets heavily glued to walls often break during extraction. Homeowners must weigh the extra labor time required for gentle extraction against the actual resale or reuse value of older cabinetry.",
