There is nothing wrong with resurfacing brake drums if the procedure is done correctly. Resurfaced drums, or even brand new brake drums, can be warped by one of several things.
One is someone overtightening the wheel lug nuts with an air wrench.
Two is the possibility of bent wheels. (at the lug nut flange) When the lugs are tightened the bent wheel will deform the brake drum.
You did not state exactly what the symptoms of this “issue” are, but out of round drums usually cause a brake pedal pulsation that can be felt in the seat, whereas front brake rotor problems often show up in the steering wheel.
