There’s a concern with some customers that if they use our rafacing process, with 3/4″ thick frames, they’ll lose the countertop overhang. The overhang is the part of the countertop that hangs over the cabinet drawer fronts. We can keep this overhang by removing the old face frame from the cabinet box. The following photos show how we do this.
