Cabinet and drawer problems we repair in Lombard
When one or two things in the kitchen are broken, a repair is the sensible fix. We come to your Lombard home, find out why the door, drawer or box failed and fix the cause, not just the symptom.
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.
Loose or missing pulls and knobs
If one pull is missing, we look for a match or suggest a new set that uses the same hole spacing.
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.
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
If a shelf has dipped in the middle, flipping it rarely lasts. A stiffer shelf or a center support fixes it.
What the repair visit covers
- DiagnosisEvery repair starts with finding the cause, whether it is a part, a leak or a shifted cabinet.

- Drawer box repair or replacementWe repair failing drawer boxes or replace them while keeping your fronts.

DetailBefore and after: a 1980s two-story in Lombard
A 1980s two-story in Lombard, a typical kitchen for Lombard. What we started with: white thermofoil cabinets peeling at the edges, oak trim and white double sink. The main complaint was worn, damaged cabinet parts that needed fixing. After: the same sink base with a new plywood floor, new soft-close hinges, door aligned. Work included hinges and adjustment, drawer slides, plus testing and cleanup.

AfterKitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair in a two-story colonial from the 1990s, Glen Ellyn
This one is a two-story colonial from the 1990s in Glen Ellyn. Before: honey-oak cathedral raised-panel cabinets with worn finish near the handles, brass knobs and white cast-iron double sink. The main complaint was a sink base ruined by a slow leak. The result: the same sink base with a new plywood floor, new soft-close hinges, door aligned. On site this meant diagnosis, finish touch-up, plus testing and cleanup.

Kitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair questions from Lombard homeowners
Can you repair cabinets in a condo building?
Yes. Most repairs are quiet and quick, which suits building rules on hours and noise.
Can damaged kitchen cabinets be repaired?
Most damage is repairable. Replacement only makes sense when the box itself is badly swollen, rotted or structurally failed.
Is it cheaper to refinish or replace cabinets?
If the cabinets are solid, repair and refinish is typically the less expensive route.
Should I repair or replace my cabinets?
We will tell you which makes sense after looking. Most kitchens we see only need repairs.
What affects the cost of cabinet repair?
The number of items, parts needed, whether water damage is involved and finish matching. We give a written, itemized estimate after the visit.
Do Lombard 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 I need a permit for cabinet repair in Lombard?
It depends on the scope. Lombard's rule in short: Village requires a building permit for new structures and updates to existing structures; replacing interior doors and fixtures at the same size with no structural change needs no permit. We handle the permit when one is needed with Building Division, Community Development and Building.
Do you work in my part of Lombard?
Yes. Our crews work across Lombard — ZIP 60148 — and nearby Villa Park, Glen Ellyn, Addison.
