Are there any companies or contractors who could replace
them with a
similar finish? * Since all the other kitchen cabinets and
their doors
and drawers are in good shape, I would hate to replace all
the
cabinets just because two doors are damaged.


I live in northern Massachusetts.

they come unfinished, so you would have to finish them or
have someone else try to match the old finish


I'd take one of the doors to a few local kitchen cabinet
companies and see what they say. They may be able
to quickly identify them, know if they are available, etc.
And see if there is any identifying info as to the local
company that installed them, who made them, etc.
If they are not available, there isn't something very close
that could work, etc then they could almost certainly be
reproduced or repaired. How much will depend on if
it's a simple cabinet door or one with a lot of detail, etc.

Cabinet makers can do some cool things. I
recently replaced a fridge and ovens. In both cases
I needed to have the cabinets above shortened. Local
guy did both of them for $225. Now I have a nice
tall fridge and shiney new double ovens. In the case of
the ovens, I also went from 27" to 30". I performed that
part of the cabinet matching magic myself.
