Kitchen Cabinet Services questions from West Chicago homeowners
How long does refacing take?
Often a few days on site once the doors are made.
Can you add soft-close to my cabinets?
Most cabinets accept soft-close hinges and slides as a straight swap.
Refacing or painting — which should I choose?
Choose painting to keep your doors and change color, refacing to get new doors in a new style.
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 damaged kitchen cabinets be repaired?
Often, yes. Hinges, slides, doors and even sink bases can be repaired or replaced individually.
West Chicago contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
All contractors and subcontractors working in West Chicago must be registered with the City (insurance, licensing and bonding are checked). We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for kitchen work in West Chicago?
It depends on the scope. West Chicago's rule in short: West Chicago requires a building permit for certain home improvement and remodeling projects; the city publishes an Additions & Remodeling permit guide with a submittal checklist. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department.
