Storage problems we solve in Glen Ellyn kitchens
A storage problem usually has a specific cause: deep base cabinets, a blind corner, a pantry with wire shelves, or no place for small appliances. We look at your Glen Ellyn kitchen cabinet by cabinet and recommend the fix that matches, not a new kitchen.
Pantry that overflows onto the counter
When cereal boxes and paper towels live on the counter, the kitchen is short on pantry. A tall pantry cabinet or a converted closet gives food its own place.
Pantry Design & Installation →No place for the family to sit
Breakfast nooks and bay windows often sit empty. A banquette with a table turns them into the spot where everyone eats.
Built-In Breakfast Nook & Banquette →Pots stacked in deep base cabinets
Kneeling on the floor and pulling out four pans to reach the one at the back gets old fast. Roll-out shelves bring the whole stack to you.
Pull-Out Shelves & Cabinet Organizers →Wire shelving sagging under food
When the pantry shelves bow and things slip through the wires, it's time for solid shelving anchored into studs.
Pantry Design & Installation →Small appliances with nowhere to go
Stand mixers, air fryers and slow cookers crowd the counter. A pantry cabinet with a pull-out shelf or an appliance cabinet gives them a place.
Pantry Design & Installation →Kitchen cabinets that simply don't fit your stuff
When the boxes are too shallow, too short or badly arranged, we change those cabinets instead of filling them with inserts.
Kitchen Cabinet Modification →Spices, oils and baking sheets with no home
We use narrow gaps and the cabinet over the oven for things that don't stack well, like sheet pans, lids and bottles.

AfterA Glen Ellyn 1960s ranch: before and after
This one is a 1960s ranch in Glen Ellyn. Before: original birch cabinets painted white decades ago, sagging doors, chrome pulls and laminate with an aluminum edge band. What bothered the owners most: deep cabinets nobody could reach into. After: roll-out shelves in the base cabinets, a pull-out trash unit and a pantry wall, with the counters cleared. Work included measuring every opening, roll-out shelves and pull-outs, plus pantry cabinets.
Before
AfterA Wheaton 1980s two-story: before and after
The site: a 1980s two-story near Danada Square area. The kitchen as it was: honey-oak cathedral raised-panel cabinets with worn finish near the handles, brass knobs and almond laminate with a backsplash lip. The main complaint was deep cabinets nobody could reach into. After: roll-out shelves in the base cabinets, a pull-out trash unit and a pantry wall, with the counters cleared. On site this meant roll-out shelves and pull-outs, pantry cabinets, plus cleanup and walkthrough.

Kitchen Storage & Pantry Solutions questions from Glen Ellyn homeowners
Can you add storage without replacing the cabinets?
Usually yes. Roll-outs, dividers and corner units go into existing cabinets as long as the boxes are sound.
Do storage upgrades need a permit?
Organizers, roll-outs and banquettes don't. A pantry that moves walls or adds a new circuit may, and we handle that when it applies.
Should I get pull-outs or a new pantry first?
If food is the problem, start with the pantry. If cookware and supplies are the problem, start with the base cabinets.
Do you sell organizers or install them?
We measure, build or order, and install them. You don't need to buy anything ahead of time.
Can you add more storage to an older kitchen?
Yes. Older cabinets often take roll-outs well, and a nearby closet or nook can become a pantry.
Glen Ellyn contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Contractors must register with the Village and meet license and insurance requirements (Village Code 4-1-11); work that does not need a building permit is exempt. We take care of that before work starts.
Do you work in my part of Glen Ellyn?
Yes. Our crews work across Glen Ellyn — ZIP 60137 — and nearby Wheaton, Lombard, Glendale Heights.
