Cabinet problems we fix in Palatine
We handle every kind of cabinet work in Palatine: a new color, new doors, fixed hinges and drawers, extra storage or a full set of new cabinets. Start with the problem below and we'll point you to the right fix.
New appliance doesn't fit
We cut down, resize or rebuild a cabinet section so a new appliance fits.
Kitchen Cabinet Modification →Water-damaged sink base
A slow drip under the sink swells the cabinet floor. We stop the leak, replace the panel or base and match the finish.
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 Painting →Sticking or broken drawers
Worn slides and broken drawer boxes can be replaced with soft-close slides and new dovetail boxes.
Kitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair →Not enough storage
We add roll-outs, organizers and tall pantry units to make the existing kitchen hold more.
Kitchen Storage & Pantry Solutions →Peeling thermofoil doors
Thermofoil film lifts near heat and can't be fixed with paint. We replace the doors and fronts and leave the boxes in place.
Cabinet Refacing →Odd-sized spaces

Kitchen Cabinet Services questions from Palatine homeowners
Can you add soft-close to my cabinets?
Most cabinets accept soft-close hinges and slides as a straight swap.
How long does refacing take?
Often a few days on site once the doors are made.
Can you match my existing cabinets?
Close matches are possible; painting all cabinets gives a perfect match.
Refacing or painting — which should I choose?
Paint changes the color; refacing changes the door style too. If you like your doors, paint. If not, reface.
Is it cheaper to reface or replace cabinets?
Refacing is usually much less than full replacement because the boxes, counters and plumbing stay in place.
Can you do kitchen work in a Palatine 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.
Do I need a Palatine-registered contractor for kitchen work?
Contractors must be registered and bonded with the Village before a permit is issued. Registration is online and expires Dec 31 each year. We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for kitchen work in Palatine?
It depends on the scope. Palatine's rule in short: A permit is required to remodel a kitchen or to add/alter the electrical system. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department - Building Permits & Inspections.
Do you work in my part of Palatine?
Yes. Our crews work across Palatine — ZIP 60067, 60074 — and nearby Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Lake Zurich.
