Original 1990s cabinets with fixed shelves
Many 1990s kitchens still have deep, fixed lower shelves. As long as the boxes are solid, roll-outs retrofit well.

Cabinet problems pull-outs fix in Aurora
Getting on your knees to find a lid is a cabinet problem, not an organizing one. We retrofit sliding shelves and organizers into existing kitchen cabinets around Aurora, sized cabinet by cabinet instead of bought off a shelf.
Baking sheets and cutting boards jammed in
Trays and boards stored flat end up under everything. Vertical dividers let you slide one out without moving the rest.
Trash can in the walkway
Freestanding cans get kicked and smell. A cabinet pull-out with lids or a door-mounted unit tucks them away.
Lazy Susan that sticks or wobbles
Old lazy Susans sag and jam. We take out the old unit and fit a new one sized to the corner cabinet.
Doors and hinges in the way
Two-door cabinets with a center stile need a different setup than single-door ones. We plan the pull-outs around that.
Cramped upper cabinets
If the top shelf of the wall cabinets is out of reach, a pull-down mechanism or reorganized inserts can help.
Blind corner cabinet
When the deepest part of the corner is out of reach, corner pull-out hardware swings the contents out through the door.
Spices crowding the counter
A narrow pull-out beside the range holds spices and oils within reach of the cook, using a space that's often a filler strip.

DetailAn Aurora 1980s two-story: before and after
This one is a 1980s two-story near Near Eastside. Before: golden-oak cabinets with oak soffits above. The reason for the call: a pot cabinet that had turned into a pile. The result: two wooden roll-out shelves in the deep base cabinet, pots and pans in neat rows that slide out to the front. The job covered cabinet-by-cabinet review, installing roll-out shelves, plus adjustment and walkthrough.

AfterA Naperville 1980s two-story: before and after
The site: a 1980s two-story near Highlands. Before: honey-oak cathedral raised-panel cabinets with worn finish near the handles, brass knobs. The main complaint was kneeling on the floor to dig out a pan. After: two wooden roll-out shelves in the deep base cabinet, pots and pans in neat rows that slide out to the front. Work included trash, corner and under-sink units, dividers and inserts, plus adjustment and walkthrough.

Pull-Out Shelves & Cabinet Organizers questions from Aurora homeowners
Can you add pull-out drawers to kitchen cabinets that have doors?
The doors remain in place and the roll-outs sit behind them. We size them so they clear the hinges.
What's the best pull-out organizer for kitchen cabinets?
For most people the most useful is a pair of roll-out shelves in the pot cabinet, followed by a trash pull-out.
How much do pull-out shelves cost to install?
Wood vs. melamine, soft-close or standard slides and specialty units all change the price. We quote per cabinet after the visit.
Can pull-out shelves be added to existing cabinets?
That's what most of our work is. We fit sliding shelves into cabinets that were built with fixed shelves.
Can you put pull-outs under the sink?
Under-sink pull-outs are common. They're sized to clear the plumbing and any filter or hot-water tank.
Do I need a Aurora-registered contractor for pull-out shelf installation?
Contractors must be registered/licensed with the City (application, required testing if applicable, proof of insurance naming the City as additional insured). Homeowners may act as own contractor if owner-occupied 6+ months with a Homeowner Liability Waiver. We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for pull-out shelf installation in Aurora?
It depends on the scope. Aurora's rule in short: Interior remodels, structural changes and interior plumbing always need a permit; electrical/mechanical may. We handle the permit when one is needed with Division of Building and Permits, City of Aurora.
Do you work in my part of Aurora?
Yes. Our crews work across Aurora, including Near Eastside, Tanner, Riddle Highlands, Palace Street — ZIP 60506, 60502, 60505, 60504, 60503 — and nearby Batavia, Warrenville, Naperville.
