Cabinet and drawer problems we repair in Bartlett
When one or two things in the kitchen are broken, a repair is the sensible fix. We come to your Bartlett home, find out why the door, drawer or box failed and fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Door sagging or hanging crooked
Sagging is a sign the hinge or its mounting has given way. We reset it, and if the screw holes are stripped, we plug and redrill them.
Loose or missing pulls and knobs
If one pull is missing, we look for a match or suggest a new set that uses the same hole spacing.
Cracked or split cabinet door
We fix cracked door panels and loose door frames, and touch up the finish so the repair is hard to spot.
Drawer falls off its track
When the drawer tips forward as you open it, the slides are failing. We fit new ones and adjust them so the drawer runs level.
Swollen sink base floor
If the bottom of your sink cabinet sags or crumbles, it can usually be rebuilt in place without replacing the cabinet or the counter.
Door won't stay closed
We replace tired self-closing hinges and check the cabinet for level so doors latch properly again.
Drawers that stick or grind
We clean, adjust or replace the slides, and plane the box if it rubs, so the drawer opens smoothly.
Where we look first
- DiagnosisWe find out why the door, drawer or box failed before deciding on the fix.
- Rebuilding the cabinet floorA new plywood floor is cut to fit, supported and sealed in the sink base.
- Hinges and adjustmentWorn hinges are replaced with matching or upgraded soft-close ones and adjusted for even gaps.
- Drawer slidesOld slides are replaced in pairs and adjusted to run level and smooth.
- Drawer box repair or replacementWe repair failing drawer boxes or replace them while keeping your fronts.
- Finish touch-upWe color-match touch-ups so the repair is as unnoticeable as possible.
- Testing and cleanupEach repair is tested in front of you and the work area is left clean.

Kitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair questions from Bartlett homeowners
Should I repair or replace my cabinets?
If the issues are a few doors, drawers or a sink base, repair. If the whole kitchen is falling apart, replacement is better value.
Can you find matching hinges or hardware?
We match what we can and suggest a close replacement when the original is discontinued.
Can you fix a cabinet door that won't close?
Yes, typically in a few minutes per door once we know the cause.
Do you repair just one cabinet?
We do. A few small repairs can usually be handled in one visit.
Is it cheaper to refinish or replace cabinets?
Refinishing or painting sound cabinets is usually far less expensive than replacement. Repairs first, finish second.
Do I need a permit for cabinet repair in Bartlett?
It depends on the scope. Bartlett's rule in short: Building permits are required for all construction and home improvement projects, whether done by homeowner or contractor; Remodel is a listed permit type. We handle the permit when one is needed with Building Division (Planning & Development Services).
Do you work in my part of Bartlett?
Yes. Our crews work across Bartlett — ZIP 60103, 60120 — and nearby Hanover Park, Carol Stream, Bloomingdale.
