Cabinet and drawer problems we repair in Warrenville
When one or two things in the kitchen are broken, a repair is the sensible fix. We come to your Warrenville home, find out why the door, drawer or box failed and fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Peeling thermofoil or edge banding
Edge banding that has come off can be reapplied. Large thermofoil failures near heat usually mean a new door.
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.
Loose or missing pulls and knobs
If one pull is missing, we look for a match or suggest a new set that uses the same hole spacing.
Drawer falls off its track
A drawer that drops or jumps the track usually has a broken roller, a bent slide or a loose mounting screw. We replace the slides as a pair.
Door won't stay closed
If a door swings open on its own, the hinge has lost its tension or the cabinet has shifted. We find which and fix it.
Water damage at the dishwasher
A leaking dishwasher can swell the cabinet sides and the toe-kick next to it. We replace the damaged parts and finish them to match.
Stripped hinge screw holes
When the screws spin without tightening, the material around them is gone. A hardwood plug or a repair plate gives the hinge something solid to bite into.

Kitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair questions from Warrenville homeowners
What affects the cost of cabinet repair?
The number of items, parts needed, whether water damage is involved and finish matching. We give a written, itemized estimate after the visit.
Can you fix a cabinet door that won't close?
Yes, typically in a few minutes per door once we know the cause.
Can you replace drawer slides on old cabinets?
Yes. We measure the drawer and the opening and fit slides that suit them, often upgrading to full-extension.
How long does a cabinet repair take?
Hinge and slide fixes are quick. Water damage repairs take longer because the area must be dry.
Can a cracked cabinet door be repaired?
If the break is clean, yes. Shattered or warped doors are better replaced with a matching new one.
