Cabinet and drawer problems we repair in Mount Prospect
Most broken cabinets in Mount Prospect 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.
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 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.
Peeling thermofoil or edge banding
We reattach small areas of loose banding and tell you honestly when a thermofoil door is past repair.
Stripped hinge screw holes
Particleboard sides lose their grip around hinge screws over time. We fill and redrill the holes or add a hinge repair plate so the door stays put.
Drawer falls off its track
Old roller slides wear and crack. New full-extension slides, sized to the drawer, make it run straight and stay on.
Drawer box coming apart
Stapled drawer boxes loosen at the corners and drop their bottoms. We reglue and reinforce the joints or build a new box to the same size.
Loose or cracked face frame
Cracked stiles and rails are glued, reinforced and filled, or replaced with matching wood when the damage is too much.
What we check and fix
- DiagnosisWe find out why the door, drawer or box failed before deciding on the fix.
- Rebuilding the cabinet floorWe install a moisture-resistant bottom in water-damaged cabinets.
- Hinges and adjustmentWorn hinges are replaced with matching or upgraded soft-close ones and adjusted for even gaps.
- Drawer slidesWe fit new slides sized to the drawer depth and weight.
- Drawer box repair or replacementWe repair failing drawer boxes or replace them while keeping your fronts.

Kitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair questions from Mount Prospect homeowners
Can you repair cabinets in a condo building?
We do. We follow the building's work hours and protect common areas when we bring tools in.
Should I repair or replace my cabinets?
Repair if the boxes are sound and the problems are hardware or isolated damage. Replace if many boxes are failing or you want a new layout.
Can water-damaged sink base cabinets be repaired?
Usually. The cabinet floor is cut out and rebuilt in place, so the counter and sink stay where they are.
Can a cracked cabinet door be repaired?
Often. Clean cracks and loose joints are glued and clamped, then touched up.
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 do cabinet repair in a Mount Prospect condo?
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.
