Cabinet problems we fix in Northbrook
Cabinets drive the look and the function of a kitchen. Our Northbrook crews paint, reface, repair and install them, so you get the right fix instead of the most expensive one.
Layout doesn't work
When the problem is the layout or the boxes themselves, we design and install new cabinets that fit how you cook.
Kitchen Cabinet Installation & Replacement →Odd-sized spaces
Slanted ceilings, alcoves and out-of-square walls get cabinets built to fit them exactly.
Custom Kitchen Cabinets →Peeling thermofoil doors
Vinyl wrap peeling near the oven can't be painted well. New doors or full refacing solves it.
Cabinet Refacing →Door style you don't like
Raised-panel or cathedral doors look dated; new Shaker or slab doors modernize the kitchen on the same boxes.
Cabinet Door & Drawer Front Replacement →Want glass-front or open cabinets
We convert selected cabinets to glass doors or open shelves and finish the insides to match.
Cabinet Door & Drawer Front Replacement →Water-damaged sink base
Sink cabinet floor soft or swollen? We replace the damaged panel or the whole base to match.
Kitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair →Dated color or wood tone
If you like the cabinets but not the color, paint or a new stain is the fastest fix.

Kitchen Cabinet Services questions from Northbrook homeowners
Should I paint, reface or replace my cabinets?
If the boxes are solid and you like the layout, paint or reface. If boxes are damaged or the layout doesn't work, replace.
Can you match my existing cabinets?
We get close with paint and stain matching; painting everything one color guarantees a match.
Can damaged kitchen cabinets be repaired?
Often, yes. Hinges, slides, doors and even sink bases can be repaired or replaced individually.
Can you fix just one damaged cabinet?
Yes — a single sink base or damaged door can be replaced and matched.
Is it cheaper to reface or replace cabinets?
Refacing typically costs a fraction of new cabinets and avoids replacing your countertops.
Do I need a Northbrook-registered contractor for kitchen work?
Village contractor license required, good for one year: general contractors $100; electrical $70. We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for kitchen work in Northbrook?
It depends on the scope. Northbrook's rule in short: Village lists separate permit types: Single Family Alterations - Interior, Electrical (new wiring/outlets), and Plumbing (new fixtures). We handle the permit when one is needed with Development & Planning Services.
Do you work in my part of Northbrook?
Yes. Our crews work across Northbrook, including Techny, Downtown Northbrook — ZIP 60062 — and nearby Glenview, Highland Park, Mount Prospect.
