What the public record confirms
A 2026 order from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware lists Reborn Cabinets, LLC among the debtors in the jointly administered Renovo Home Partners Chapter 7 cases, case 25-11937. You can read the court order published by the Minnesota Attorney General. That order concerns a Minnesota recovery procedure; it is not a California claim form or a determination of an individual customer's rights.
Before filing anything, match the company on your contract to the relevant notices and confirm current deadlines. Safeway Construction is an independent contractor. We do not administer the bankruptcy or decide deposit and warranty claims.
Organize your records before changing the work
- Save the signed contract, change orders, payment receipts, plans, product selections and messages.
- Photograph the current condition, including incomplete work, damaged materials and any safety concerns.
- List the materials on site and any outstanding orders. Keep invoices and delivery records so ownership and payment can be checked.
- Locate the permit number and inspection history, if permits were required. Ask the local building department what remains before work resumes.
If there is an immediate electrical, plumbing or structural hazard, arrange an appropriate professional assessment. Keep a record of any necessary stabilization work.
Check recovery and warranty options separately
If you paid by card, ask the issuer about dispute eligibility and its deadlines. For a California contractor bond, CSLB explains that claims go to the surety company that issued the relevant bond; CSLB does not process the surety claim itself. Use the license record and bond history to identify that company. Read CSLB's bond guidance and licensed-contractor complaint process.
Keep product warranties as well as the installation agreement. A manufacturer may have a separate process. A qualified attorney can help assess bankruptcy notices, filing requirements and restrictions before you take legal action. Eligibility and payment are not guaranteed.
Ask for a completion scope you can compare
A replacement estimate should identify the condition of the existing work, the parts that can stay and the work needed to finish. For a kitchen with cabinets installed but counters missing, for example, the contractor needs to check cabinet alignment and support before ordering countertops.
Include these items in the proposal
- Repairs to existing work and responsibility for concealed defects.
- Materials to reuse, new materials, allowances and delivery dates.
- Countertops, plumbing, electrical, finishing and inspections included in the price.
- Payment milestones, written change orders and warranty terms for the new work.

Common questions
Can I recover a deposit paid to Reborn Cabinets?
Recovery depends on your contract, payment method, dates and the applicable claim process. Keep your records and contact your card issuer about dispute eligibility if you paid by card. For a bond claim, identify the surety that covered your contractor at the relevant time. Check the bankruptcy notices or consult a qualified attorney about the correct debtor, deadlines and any stay restrictions. No route guarantees repayment.
Does a business closure mean every warranty is worthless?
Do not assume that. Installation coverage and a separate manufacturer's product warranty may have different providers and terms. Keep the original warranty documents, invoices and product details, and ask the named provider about coverage. A contractor can assess the condition of the work, but that assessment does not decide your legal rights.
How long will it take to finish an incomplete kitchen?
A reliable schedule needs a site assessment. Missing doors, damaged cabinet boxes, countertop measurements, utility work and permit inspections can each change the sequence. Ask for a written completion scope, material lead times and a construction schedule before hiring a replacement contractor.
Should I reface the cabinets or replace them?
Refacing may be worth considering when the existing boxes are sound and the layout works. Water damage, poor installation or a layout change can make replacement more practical. Compare proposals that identify which existing parts remain and who is responsible for correcting defects.
