Trash can taking up floor space
Moving the garbage and recycling into a cabinet frees the floor and hides the smell. We convert an existing base into a double-bin pull-out.

Storage problems we solve in Plainfield kitchens
Most kitchens don't run out of space; they run out of space you can reach. In Plainfield we fit roll-out shelves into existing cabinets, turn closets and empty walls into pantries and build banquettes with storage under the seat, so the counters can stay clear.
Small appliances with nowhere to go
Heavy appliances need a low shelf that slides out so you can lift them safely. We plan that into the pantry or base cabinets.
Pantry Design & Installation →Pantry that overflows onto the counter
Groceries stacked on the counter usually mean the pantry is too small or poorly shelved. We add capacity with cabinets or a reworked closet.
Pantry Design & Installation →Wasted space above and between cabinets
A blank wall next to the fridge or a short run of uppers is often the easiest place to add storage. We build into it to match.
Custom Kitchen Cabinets →Food lost on deep pantry shelves
Shelves that are too deep for boxes and cans turn the pantry into a guessing game. We rebuild them at depths that fit what you store.
Pantry Design & Installation →Wire shelving sagging under food
Sagging wire racks in the pantry closet are common. Solid wood or melamine shelving on proper supports carries the weight and keeps items level.
Pantry Design & Installation →A blind corner nobody can reach
Corner cabinets hide whatever goes in them. A swing-out or pull-out corner unit, or a lazy Susan in the right cabinet type, puts that space back in use.
Pull-Out Shelves & Cabinet Organizers →Spices, oils and baking sheets with no home
We use narrow gaps and the cabinet over the oven for things that don't stack well, like sheet pans, lids and bottles.

AfterBefore and after: a 1980s two-story in Naperville
This one is a 1980s two-story near Downtown Naperville. What we started with: white thermofoil cabinets peeling at the edges, oak trim and white ceramic tile with dark stained grout lines. The main complaint was counters buried under things that had no cabinet space. The result: roll-out shelves in the base cabinets, a pull-out trash unit and a pantry wall, with the counters cleared. On site this meant roll-out shelves and pull-outs, pantry cabinets, plus pantry closet and walk-in shelving.

Kitchen Storage & Pantry Solutions questions from Plainfield homeowners
Can you add more storage to an older kitchen?
Yes. Older cabinets often take roll-outs well, and a nearby closet or nook can become a pantry.
What are the best storage solutions for a kitchen?
The ones that match the problem: roll-outs for deep base cabinets, corner units for blind corners, a pantry for food overflow and drawers for anything you reach for daily.
Do storage upgrades need a permit?
Generally no. If a pantry plan involves framing or electrical work, we check with the village and pull the permit.
What storage works in a small kitchen?
In tight kitchens we go vertical and pull-out: taller uppers, roll-out base shelves and organizers that use the full depth.
How long does a storage project take?
Most of the time goes into measuring and building the parts. Installation itself is usually short.
What is the Plainfield building department phone number?
Permits go through Village of Plainfield Building & Code Enforcement, phone (815) 439-2937. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Plainfield contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Village business license ($25 annually) applies to corporate, retail and home businesses. We take care of that before work starts.
Do you work in my part of Plainfield?
Yes. Our crews work across Plainfield — ZIP 60544, 60585, 60586, 60543 — and nearby Bolingbrook, Naperville, Aurora.
