        "text": "Inspect the cabinet boxes, face frames, and base shelves for structural stability before deciding to replace them. In foreclosed properties, moisture is the primary hazard; check underneath the sink base and around the dishwasher cavity for soft, swollen, or moldy wood caused by sitting water. If the cabinet boxes are solid plywood or sturdy hardwood, you can save significant money by keeping them. An owner-operated contractor can perform finish carpentry repairs, patch dinged frames, adjust hinges, and apply a durable interior paint finish. If the particleboard sides are crumbly or delaminating, complete replacement is the safer, more durable option.",
