Often the existing frets have been levelled a few times or are so damaged that a full refret makes sense.
This includes the following:

Sometimes on bound fretboards, the binding covers the edge of the fret and it's called "nib" (binding nibs).
When removing the fret during a refret, this causes the nibs to open at that location.
We don't replace the nibs. These will be cut flush with the binding and the new fret will be installed after smoothing the area.
This method provides a larger playing surface and eliminates the "string-snagging", common with ageing factory nibs.
