Storage problems we solve in Batavia kitchens
Most kitchens don't run out of space; they run out of space you can reach. In Batavia we fit roll-out shelves into existing cabinets, turn closets and empty walls into pantries and build banquettes with storage under the seat, so the counters can stay clear.
Pots stacked in deep base cabinets
Kneeling on the floor and pulling out four pans to reach the one at the back gets old fast. Roll-out shelves bring the whole stack to you.
Pull-Out Shelves & Cabinet Organizers →Food lost on deep pantry shelves
Shelves that are too deep for boxes and cans turn the pantry into a guessing game. We rebuild them at depths that fit what you store.
Pantry Design & Installation →A blind corner nobody can reach
If you need a flashlight to find the roasting pan, the corner is wasted. We fit corner hardware that pulls the contents out to the door.
Pull-Out Shelves & Cabinet Organizers →No place for the family to sit
Breakfast nooks and bay windows often sit empty. A banquette with a table turns them into the spot where everyone eats.
Built-In Breakfast Nook & Banquette →Clutter under the sink
When the under-sink cabinet is a jumble, a U-shaped or split roll-out that works around the plumbing usually sorts it out.
Pull-Out Shelves & Cabinet Organizers →Pantry that overflows onto the counter
Groceries stacked on the counter usually mean the pantry is too small or poorly shelved. We add capacity with cabinets or a reworked closet.
Pantry Design & Installation →Wasted space above and between cabinets
A blank wall next to the fridge or a short run of uppers is often the easiest place to add storage. We build into it to match.

AfterKitchen Storage & Pantry Solutions in a 1990s two-story colonial, Batavia
The site: a 1990s two-story colonial in Batavia. The kitchen as it was: golden-oak cabinets with oak soffits above and white Corian-style solid surface with a yellowed seam. What bothered the owners most: cabinets full of things they couldn't reach. The result: roll-out shelves in the base cabinets, a pull-out trash unit and a pantry wall, with the counters cleared. Work included measuring every opening, roll-out shelves and pull-outs, plus cabinet changes when needed.

Kitchen Storage & Pantry Solutions questions from Batavia homeowners
How much does kitchen storage work cost?
It depends on how many pull-outs, what they're made of and whether a pantry or banquette is involved. You get a written, itemized estimate after we measure.
Do storage upgrades need a permit?
Organizers, roll-outs and banquettes don't. A pantry that moves walls or adds a new circuit may, and we handle that when it applies.
How long does a storage project take?
Fitting pull-outs is often a single visit once they're made. Pantries and banquettes take longer because they're built on site.
What storage works in a small kitchen?
Make every cabinet usable from the front: roll-outs, slim pull-outs in narrow gaps, tray dividers and a tall pantry cabinet if a wall allows.
Can you add storage without replacing the cabinets?
Yes, that's most of our storage work. We only suggest modifying or adding cabinets when inserts can't fix the problem.
Does storage project need a Batavia building permit, and who files it?
Permits go through City of Batavia Community & Economic Development - Building Division, phone 630-454-2700. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Do I need a permit for storage project in Batavia?
It depends on the scope. Batavia's rule in short: Building permits are required for all construction; a Residential Alteration handout is available. We handle the permit when one is needed with City of Batavia Community & Economic Development - Building Division.
