Cabinet and drawer problems we repair in Elk Grove Village
We repair kitchen cabinets and drawers: doors that sag or will not close, slides that grind, drawer boxes coming apart and cabinet floors damaged by water. In Elk Grove Village we usually fix the problem in one visit, with parts brought along or ordered to fit.
Loose or cracked face frame
Face frames can separate from the box or crack at a joint. We reglue, clamp and fasten them so the frame is tight again.
Broken shelf pins and clips
Shelf pins come in many sizes. We match the hole size and replace the broken ones so shelves sit level.
Sagging shelves
Heavy plates and cans make long shelves sag. We swap them for thicker material and new shelf pins.
Drawer falls off its track
A drawer that drops or jumps the track usually has a broken roller, a bent slide or a loose mounting screw. We replace the slides as a pair.
Cracked or split cabinet door
A split panel or broken door joint can often be glued and clamped. When it cannot, we make or source a replacement door in the same style.
Water damage at the dishwasher
A leaking dishwasher can swell the cabinet sides and the toe-kick next to it. We replace the damaged parts and finish them to match.
Swollen sink base floor
A slow leak under the sink turns a particleboard cabinet floor soft and puffy. We cut out the damaged bottom and install a new plywood floor.
What the repair visit covers
- Removing damaged partsWe take out only what is damaged and keep the sound parts.
- Rebuilding the cabinet floorA new plywood floor is cut to fit, supported and sealed in the sink base.
- Drawer slidesOld slides are replaced in pairs and adjusted to run level and smooth.
- Drawer box repair or replacementWe repair failing drawer boxes or replace them while keeping your fronts.
