Cabinet and drawer problems we repair in Geneva
Most broken cabinets in Geneva kitchens do not need replacing. A stripped hinge, a drawer that drops off its slide or a sink base swollen from a slow leak can be repaired, and we do those repairs with parts that match what you have.
Cracked or split cabinet door
We fix cracked door panels and loose door frames, and touch up the finish so the repair is hard to spot.
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.
Drawers that stick or grind
We clean, adjust or replace the slides, and plane the box if it rubs, so the drawer opens smoothly.
Drawer box coming apart
If the drawer bottom has fallen out or the corners have spread, we either repair the box or replace it with a sturdier one behind your existing front.
Door sagging or hanging crooked
Crooked doors are often fixed with a few turns of the hinge screws. When the hinge itself is bent or worn, we replace it with a matching one.
Broken shelf pins and clips
Missing or broken shelf supports leave shelves wobbling or tilted. We replace them with the right size for your cabinets.
Water damage at the dishwasher
We rebuild cabinet sides and kick boards damaged by dishwasher leaks so the edges are flat and sealed again.
Where we look first
- Checking for active leaksWater damage repairs wait until the leak is stopped; we check the area with you first.
- 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.
- Repairing hinge mountsWe rebuild worn hinge locations so doors stay adjusted.
- Drawer slidesOld slides are replaced in pairs and adjusted to run level and smooth.
- Finish touch-upWe color-match touch-ups so the repair is as unnoticeable as possible.
- Testing and cleanupWe open and close every repaired door and drawer, then clean up.

Kitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair questions from Geneva homeowners
What affects the cost of cabinet repair?
Scope, materials and any custom parts. We itemize the estimate in writing so you can choose what to fix.
Can you fix a cabinet door that won't close?
Yes. It is usually a worn hinge, a loose mounting or a door that needs adjustment.
Do you repair just one cabinet?
Yes. Bring us a list and we will fix everything in one trip if we can.
Can you add soft-close while repairing?
Often. We can swap hinges and slides for soft-close ones during the repair.
Can water-damaged sink base cabinets be repaired?
Yes, once the leak is fixed. We replace the swollen bottom and any damaged sides with plywood and seal it.
Do I need a permit for cabinet repair in Geneva?
It depends on the scope. Geneva's rule in short: A building permit is required before any construction or alteration; separate Kitchen Remodel permit form exists. We handle the permit when one is needed with Building & Zoning Division (Building Division), 109 James St..

Yes. Our crews work across Geneva, including Mill Creek — ZIP 60134, 60510 — and nearby Batavia, St. Charles, West Chicago.
