Cabinet problems we fix in Crystal Lake
Cabinets drive the look and the function of a kitchen. Our Crystal Lake crews paint, reface, repair and install them, so you get the right fix instead of the most expensive one.
Layout doesn't work
If the layout or the boxes are the problem, new cabinets — stock, semi-custom or custom — are the real fix.
Kitchen Cabinet Installation & Replacement →Peeling thermofoil doors
Vinyl wrap peeling near the oven can't be painted well. New doors or full refacing solves it.
Cabinet Refacing →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 →Odd-sized spaces
Custom cabinets fill awkward spaces stock sizes can't.
Custom Kitchen Cabinets →Sticking or broken drawers
Drawers that stick or fall apart get new full-extension slides or new boxes.
Kitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair →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 →Dated color or wood tone
Cabinets in good shape but the wrong color? A painted or re-stained finish changes the whole kitchen in about a week.

Kitchen Cabinet Services questions from Crystal Lake homeowners
Can damaged kitchen cabinets be repaired?
Often, yes. Hinges, slides, doors and even sink bases can be repaired or replaced individually.
Can you add soft-close to my cabinets?
Yes, in most cases with replacement hinges and drawer slides.
Can you match my existing cabinets?
Close matches are possible; painting all cabinets gives a perfect match.
Refacing or painting — which should I choose?
Paint changes the color; refacing changes the door style too. If you like your doors, paint. If not, reface.
Should I paint, reface or replace my cabinets?
Solid boxes and a good layout: paint or reface. Failing boxes or a bad layout: new cabinets.
