Hi all, we just purchased our first home and are doing a small remodel of the kitchen. New cabinets, fridge and range.

After removing the old cabinets I noticed cement board screwed in to the sub floor where the old cabinets were mounted. It’s pretty beat up where the toe kicks will be. Would you recommend I replace them with new cement boards or leave them as is? Or rip them out and install the new cabinets directly on the subfloor.

Thanks,

Picture for reference (apologies about the dirt pile)
