Cabinet and drawer problems we repair in Glenview
Most broken cabinets in Glenview 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.
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.
Sagging shelves
If a shelf has dipped in the middle, flipping it rarely lasts. A stiffer shelf or a center support fixes it.
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.
Door won't stay closed
If a door swings open on its own, the hinge has lost its tension or the cabinet has shifted. We find which and fix it.
Peeling thermofoil or edge banding
Edge banding that has come off can be reapplied. Large thermofoil failures near heat usually mean a new door.
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.
Where we look first
- DiagnosisEvery repair starts with finding the cause, whether it is a part, a leak or a shifted cabinet.

- 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.
- Hinges and adjustmentWorn hinges are replaced with matching or upgraded soft-close ones and adjusted for even gaps.
- Drawer slidesOld slides are replaced in pairs and adjusted to run level and smooth.

Kitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair questions from Glenview homeowners
Can you replace drawer slides on old cabinets?
Usually. Even old side-mount slides can be replaced with modern ones of the right length.
How long does a cabinet repair take?
Hinge and slide fixes are quick. Water damage repairs take longer because the area must be dry.
Is it cheaper to refinish or replace cabinets?
Refinishing or painting sound cabinets is usually far less expensive than replacement. Repairs first, finish second.
Can you find matching hinges or hardware?
Often. Many hinge styles are still made. When yours is not, we fit an equivalent that works with your doors.
Do you repair just one cabinet?
We do. A few small repairs can usually be handled in one visit.
Do I need a permit for cabinet repair in Glenview?
It depends on the scope. Glenview's rule in short: Permit required for remodeling/altering a structure, changing the number or location of plumbing fixtures or piping, and new electrical work. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development, Inspectional Services Division (Development Center).
