Cabinet and drawer problems we repair in Bloomingdale
We repair kitchen cabinets and drawers: doors that sag or will not close, slides that grind, drawer boxes coming apart and cabinet floors damaged by water. In Bloomingdale we usually fix the problem in one visit, with parts brought along or ordered to fit.
Broken shelf pins and clips
Shelf pins come in many sizes. We match the hole size and replace the broken ones so shelves sit level.
Sagging shelves
Particleboard shelves bow under dishes over time. We replace them with plywood shelves or add support at the back.
Drawer box coming apart
Stapled drawer boxes loosen at the corners and drop their bottoms. We reglue and reinforce the joints or build a new box to the same size.
Peeling thermofoil or edge banding
We reattach small areas of loose banding and tell you honestly when a thermofoil door is past repair.
Loose or cracked face frame
Face frames can separate from the box or crack at a joint. We reglue, clamp and fasten them so the frame is tight again.
Cracked or split cabinet door
Cracked doors are repaired when the crack is clean and the parts line up. Badly damaged doors are replaced and finished to match.
Stripped hinge screw holes
Particleboard sides lose their grip around hinge screws over time. We fill and redrill the holes or add a hinge repair plate so the door stays put.
What we check and fix
- DiagnosisWe find out why the door, drawer or box failed before deciding on the fix.
- Checking for active leaksWater damage repairs wait until the leak is stopped; we check the area with you first.
- Removing damaged partsWe take out only what is damaged and keep the sound parts.
- Rebuilding the cabinet floorWe install a moisture-resistant bottom in water-damaged cabinets.
- Repairing hinge mountsWe rebuild worn hinge locations so doors stay adjusted.
- Frames, panels and shelvesLoose face frames are secured, damaged panels replaced and sagging shelves swapped out.
