Cabinet and drawer problems we repair in Itasca
When one or two things in the kitchen are broken, a repair is the sensible fix. We come to your Itasca home, find out why the door, drawer or box failed and fix the cause, not just the symptom.
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.
Peeling thermofoil or edge banding
Lifting vinyl film or loose edge banding can sometimes be reglued if it is caught early. Badly peeled doors are replaced.
Drawers that stick or grind
A grinding drawer usually means the rollers or ball bearings are worn out. Replacement slides make it glide again.
Door won't stay closed
We replace tired self-closing hinges and check the cabinet for level so doors latch properly again.
Cracked or split cabinet door
Cracked doors are repaired when the crack is clean and the parts line up. Badly damaged doors are replaced and finished to match.
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.
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.
What we check and fix
- 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 floorWe install a moisture-resistant bottom in water-damaged cabinets.
- 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.
- Finish touch-upRepaired areas are filled, sanded and touched up to blend with the existing finish.

Kitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair questions from Itasca homeowners
Can you repair cabinets in a condo building?
Yes. Small repairs fit easily into condo work-hour rules.
Can you replace drawer slides on old cabinets?
In most cabinets, yes. Wooden runners can also be rebuilt or converted to metal slides.
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.
How long does a cabinet repair take?
Hinge and slide fixes are quick. Water damage repairs take longer because the area must be dry.
Do you repair just one cabinet?
Yes. Single-door and single-drawer repairs are a normal part of our work.
Do Itasca condo associations need to approve cabinet repair?
Associations usually set rules for work hours, elevators, deliveries and insurance, and many require approval for plumbing, electrical or structural changes. We provide the certificate of insurance and follow the building's rules.
Do you work in my part of Itasca?
Yes. Our crews work across Itasca, including North Side, South Side, Nordic Park, The Ranchettes — ZIP 60143 — and nearby Wood Dale, Elk Grove Village, Addison.
