Cabinet problems we fix in Carol Stream
Cabinets drive the look and the function of a kitchen. Our Carol Stream crews paint, reface, repair and install them, so you get the right fix instead of the most expensive one.
Want glass-front or open cabinets
Swapping a few solid doors for glass fronts or open shelves lightens a heavy run of cabinets.
Cabinet Door & Drawer Front Replacement →Door style you don't like
Raised-panel or cathedral doors look dated; new Shaker or slab doors modernize the kitchen on the same boxes.
Cabinet Door & Drawer Front Replacement →Cracked cabinet door
We repair or remake cracked doors and blend the finish so the fix doesn't stand out.
Kitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair →Sagging doors and loose hinges
Loose hinges and stripped screw holes are a quick repair, not a reason for new cabinets.
Kitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair →Dated color or wood tone
Orange oak or dark cherry that dates the kitchen — painting or refinishing changes the color without new cabinets.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting →New appliance doesn't fit
A taller fridge or a wider range often needs only one cabinet resized, not a new kitchen.
Kitchen Cabinet Modification →Water-damaged sink base
A swollen, stained sink base from a slow leak — we fix the leak and repair or replace the base cabinet.

Kitchen Cabinet Services questions from Carol Stream homeowners
How long does refacing take?
Often a few days on site once the doors are made.
Should I paint, reface or replace my cabinets?
Look at the boxes and the layout. Both fine — paint or reface. Either one failing — replace.
Refacing or painting — which should I choose?
Painting costs less; refacing gives you a new door style. Both keep the boxes and counters.
Can you fix just one damaged cabinet?
Yes. We repair or replace individual cabinets and match the finish as closely as possible.
Can you add soft-close to my cabinets?
Usually yes, with new hinges and slides that fit your existing boxes.
Do Carol Stream condo associations need to approve kitchen work?
Associations usually set rules for work hours, elevators, deliveries and insurance, and many require approval for plumbing, electrical or structural changes. We provide the certificate of insurance and follow the building's rules.
Do I need a permit for kitchen work in Carol Stream?
It depends on the scope. Carol Stream's rule in short: Permit required for most remodeling; exempt only if no structural change and no alteration or relocation of plumbing, heating or electrical; fixture swaps without piping changes are exempt. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department, Building Permits & Inspections.
Do you work in my part of Carol Stream?
Yes. Our crews work across Carol Stream — ZIP 60188 — and nearby Glendale Heights, Winfield, Bloomingdale.
