Door and drawer problems we fix in Bolingbrook
We replace kitchen cabinet doors and drawer fronts in Bolingbrook, and only those. Each door is built to the size of its opening, bored for hinges and hung on your existing boxes; the frames are then painted or stained so the old and new parts read as one kitchen.
A modern, handle-free look
Flat fronts with no visible knobs suit a modern kitchen. We use profiles or push hardware that work with your boxes.
Want glass-front uppers
Glass inserts in selected uppers show off dishes and add light. We finish the cabinet interior so it looks right through the glass.
Thermofoil peeling off the doors
Once the film lifts at the edges it keeps going. Replacement doors in a paintable material are the lasting answer.
Doors that no longer match after an addition
An added island or a few new cabinets with different doors stand out. One new door style across the kitchen ties it together.
Old exposed hinges
If your hinges sit on the outside of the doors, we switch to hidden hinges with the new doors and adjust each one for even gaps.
Drawer fronts crooked or not flush
Fronts that sit unevenly or stick out past their neighbors are reset on new mounting screws when we install new fronts, so the rows line up.
Cathedral or raised-panel doors
Ornate raised panels and cathedral arches can be swapped for a plain recessed panel or a flat slab, without touching anything else.

Cabinet Door & Drawer Front Replacement questions from Bolingbrook homeowners
Do you sell unfinished doors I can paint myself?
We install finished doors, measured and hung by our crew; that way the fit and the finish are on us.
Can you replace drawer fronts too?
Yes. New drawer fronts are made to match the doors and screwed onto your existing drawer boxes.
New doors or refacing: what's the difference?
New doors leave the face frames in place and we paint or stain them. Refacing also covers the frames and ends with new veneer.
Is it cheaper than new cabinets?
Much less, because the boxes, counters and plumbing stay where they are.
What affects the cost of new cabinet doors?
The number of doors and drawer fronts, the material and style, glass inserts, hinges and the frame finishing. We give a written, itemized estimate after the visit.
