Cabinet and drawer problems we repair in Roselle
We repair kitchen cabinets and drawers: doors that sag or will not close, slides that grind, drawer boxes coming apart and cabinet floors damaged by water. In Roselle we usually fix the problem in one visit, with parts brought along or ordered to fit.
Loose or cracked face frame
A gap between the frame and the cabinet side means the joint has failed. We close it, secure it and touch up the finish.
Broken shelf pins and clips
Wobbly shelves are often just missing pins. We bring replacements and check every shelf while we are there.
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.
Swollen sink base floor
If the bottom of your sink cabinet sags or crumbles, it can usually be rebuilt in place without replacing the cabinet or the counter.
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.
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.
Cracked or split cabinet door
We fix cracked door panels and loose door frames, and touch up the finish so the repair is hard to spot.
Where we look first
- DiagnosisWe find out why the door, drawer or box failed before deciding on the fix.
- Checking for active leaksUnder the sink we check for drips and dampness so a repaired cabinet does not get wet again.
- Removing damaged partsWe take out only what is damaged and keep the sound parts.
- Hinges and adjustmentWorn hinges are replaced with matching or upgraded soft-close ones and adjusted for even gaps.
- Drawer box repair or replacementWe repair failing drawer boxes or replace them while keeping your fronts.
- Frames, panels and shelvesLoose face frames are secured, damaged panels replaced and sagging shelves swapped out.
- Finish touch-upRepaired areas are filled, sanded and touched up to blend with the existing finish.
