Cabinet and drawer problems we repair in Schaumburg
Most broken cabinets in Schaumburg 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.
Swollen sink base floor
A slow leak under the sink turns a particleboard cabinet floor soft and puffy. We cut out the damaged bottom and install a new plywood floor.
Cracked or split cabinet door
A split panel or broken door joint can often be glued and clamped. When it cannot, we make or source a replacement door in the same style.
Broken shelf pins and clips
Missing or broken shelf supports leave shelves wobbling or tilted. We replace them with the right size for your cabinets.
Peeling thermofoil or edge banding
We reattach small areas of loose banding and tell you honestly when a thermofoil door is past repair.
Door won't stay closed
We replace tired self-closing hinges and check the cabinet for level so doors latch properly again.
Drawer box coming apart
Weak drawer boxes are common in builder cabinets. A new plywood or dovetail box can go behind the original front so nothing looks different.
Water damage at the dishwasher
We rebuild cabinet sides and kick boards damaged by dishwasher leaks so the edges are flat and sealed again.
Where we look first
- Checking for active leaksUnder the sink we check for drips and dampness so a repaired cabinet does not get wet again.
- Removing damaged partsSwollen bottoms, broken slides and failed hinges come out cleanly without harming the rest of the cabinet.
- Rebuilding the cabinet floorA new plywood floor is cut to fit, supported and sealed in the sink base.
- Drawer slidesOld slides are replaced in pairs and adjusted to run level and smooth.
- Drawer box repair or replacementWe repair failing drawer boxes or replace them while keeping your fronts.
- Finish touch-upWe color-match touch-ups so the repair is as unnoticeable as possible.
- Testing and cleanupEach repair is tested in front of you and the work area is left clean.
