Door and drawer problems we fix in Elk Grove Village
New doors are the most direct way to change how cabinets look when the boxes are fine. In Elk Grove Village we measure every opening, have doors and drawer fronts made in the style you choose, and install them with new hinges and pulls.
Drawer fronts crooked or not flush
Crooked drawer fronts usually come from worn screw holes or slides. We fix the mounting and align every new front to its row.
Pet or kid damage on lower doors
Scratched and chewed lower doors get new replacements; we discuss whether to do all doors so the finish matches.
Doors that no longer match after an addition
When the doors on an addition never matched the originals, replacing all of them is the clean fix.
Warped doors that won't close flat
Warped doors leave a corner sticking out. We build a replacement to the same size, often with an MDF panel that stays flat.
Cracked or split panels
Split panels and separated corners are common on older wood doors. Replacing the damaged ones, or all of them, is straightforward.
Want glass-front uppers
A pair of glass doors near the window or over a coffee bar lightens the room. They are built to the same size as the doors they replace.
Swollen doors by the sink or dishwasher
Doors swollen from steam or a leak are replaced with sealed doors that hold up better in that spot.

Cabinet Door & Drawer Front Replacement questions from Elk Grove Village homeowners
Will new doors match my existing cabinet boxes?
Yes. Finishing the boxes on site is part of the job, not an extra afterthought.
Do my old hinges work with new doors?
Usually not. New doors and new concealed hinges go together, and soft-close is a small step up.
What door styles are popular now?
Shaker in its classic or slim-frame form is what most owners pick, with slab doors for a modern look. Natural wood tones are showing up more often too.
Can you replace just one or two doors?
Yes. For a painted kitchen it blends well; for stained wood we show you a sample before you decide.
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.
Do you work in my part of Elk Grove Village?
Yes. Our crews work across Elk Grove Village — ZIP 60007 — and nearby Itasca, Wood Dale, Schaumburg.
