Cabinet problems we fix in Elgin
Not every cabinet problem needs new cabinets. In Elgin we paint, refinish, reface, repair or replace kitchen cabinets — and tell you honestly which one your kitchen needs.
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 →Peeling thermofoil doors
Thermofoil film lifts near heat and can't be fixed with paint. We replace the doors and fronts and leave the boxes in place.
Cabinet Refacing →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 Painting →Door style you don't like
Cathedral arches and raised panels date a kitchen. New doors in a Shaker or slab style change it on the same boxes.
Cabinet Door & Drawer Front Replacement →Water-damaged sink base
Sink cabinet floor soft or swollen? We replace the damaged panel or the whole base to match.
Kitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair →Sticking or broken drawers
Worn slides and broken drawer boxes can be replaced with soft-close slides and new dovetail boxes.

DetailAn Elgin two-story colonial from the 1990s: before and after
This one is a two-story colonial from the 1990s near West Side. What we started with: golden-oak cabinets with oak soffits above. The reason for the call: golden oak doors that dated the kitchen. Finished kitchen: new five-piece shaker doors in light greige on the existing boxes with unlacquered brass knobs and cup pulls.

Kitchen Cabinet Services questions from Elgin homeowners
Should I paint, reface or replace my cabinets?
Look at the boxes and the layout. Both fine — paint or reface. Either one failing — replace.
Is it cheaper to reface or replace cabinets?
Refacing is the budget option when the boxes are sound; replacement makes sense when they are not.
Can you add soft-close to my cabinets?
Usually yes, with new hinges and slides that fit your existing boxes.
Can you fix just one damaged cabinet?
Yes. We replace a single base or door and match it; repainting nearby doors hides any difference.
What is the downside of cabinet refacing?
It doesn't change the layout or fix damaged boxes, and the interiors stay as they are.
What kind of Elgin homes do you work in?
In Elgin we see Cobblestone homes, Victorian and Sears catalog kit homes. Each comes with its own walls, wiring and plumbing, and we plan the job around them.
Do I need a Elgin-registered contractor for kitchen work?
City requires a notarized letter of intent from all licensed contractors; general contractors submit one for each licensed subcontractor. We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for kitchen work in Elgin?
It depends on the scope. Elgin's rule in short: No kitchen-specific rule; interior remodeling (including kitchens) uses the general Remodeling Permit Application. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department (Building permits), City of Elgin, 150 Dexter Court.
Do you work in my part of Elgin?
Yes. Our crews work across Elgin, including Gifford Park, West Side, Downtown — ZIP 60123, 60124, 60120, 60140 — and nearby St. Charles, Bartlett, Hoffman Estates.
