Cabinet problems pull-outs fix in Bartlett
You don't need new cabinets to get drawers that slide. Our Bartlett installers add pull-out shelves, trash units, spice pull-outs and corner hardware to the boxes you already have, usually in one visit after measuring.
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.
Messy cabinet under the sink
Cleaning bottles crowded around the trap are hard to reach. Under-sink pull-outs are built around the pipes, not on top of them.
Baking sheets and cutting boards jammed in
Sheet pans fit best on edge. We add tray dividers to a base cabinet or the cabinet over the oven or fridge.
Pantry cabinet with deep fixed shelves
Tall pantry cabinets with fixed shelves bury cans at the back. Roll-out drawers inside the doors make every row visible.
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.
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.
Kneeling to reach the back of the cabinet
Back-of-cabinet items go unused because they're hard to get to. A sliding shelf puts them in reach without kneeling.

DetailBartlett kitchen, 1990s two-story colonial: pull-out shelves & cabinet organizers
This one is a 1990s two-story colonial in Bartlett. The kitchen as it was: honey-oak cathedral raised-panel cabinets with worn finish near the handles, brass knobs. What bothered the owners most: kneeling on the floor to dig out a pan. The result: two wooden roll-out shelves in the deep base cabinet, pots and pans in neat rows that slide out to the front. Work included measuring the clear openings, removing fixed shelves, plus installing roll-out shelves.

AfterBefore and after: a 1990s two-story colonial in Hanover Park
The site: a 1990s two-story colonial near Ontarioville. What we started with: golden-oak cabinets with oak soffits above. The reason for the call: solid cabinets with fixed shelves nobody could reach into. After: 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 measuring the clear openings, removing fixed shelves, plus adjustment and walkthrough.

Pull-Out Shelves & Cabinet Organizers questions from Bartlett homeowners
Do pull-out shelves work for deep cabinets?
Deep cabinets benefit the most. Full-extension slides bring the back row all the way out.
What's the best pull-out organizer for kitchen cabinets?
It depends on the cabinet: roll-outs for pots, a double-bin unit for trash, corner hardware for blind corners and dividers for trays.
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.
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.
How long does installation take?
Once the shelves are built, installing a kitchen's worth of roll-outs is usually a day or less.
Do I need a Bartlett-registered contractor for pull-out shelf installation?
All contractors must be licensed by the Village of Bartlett (per trade); licensing questions via Main Office 630-837-0800. We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for pull-out shelf installation 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).
