Storage problems we solve in Wheaton kitchens
A storage problem usually has a specific cause: deep base cabinets, a blind corner, a pantry with wire shelves, or no place for small appliances. We look at your Wheaton kitchen cabinet by cabinet and recommend the fix that matches, not a new kitchen.
Trash can taking up floor space
A bin standing next to the counter is in everyone's way. A pull-out trash and recycling unit fits inside a base cabinet, often near the sink.
Pull-Out Shelves & Cabinet Organizers →Wire shelving sagging under food
When the pantry shelves bow and things slip through the wires, it's time for solid shelving anchored into studs.
Pantry Design & Installation →Kitchen cabinets that simply don't fit your stuff
If the cabinets themselves are the limit, a few rebuilt sections often solve more than a full replacement would.
Kitchen Cabinet Modification →Spices, oils and baking sheets with no home
Narrow filler spaces can become slim pull-outs for spices and oils, and a vertical divider keeps trays and cutting boards on edge.
Pull-Out Shelves & Cabinet Organizers →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 →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
Deep shelves hide cans behind cans. Shallower shelves, roll-out drawers or door racks keep everything in sight.

Kitchen Storage & Pantry Solutions questions from Wheaton homeowners
Can you add storage without replacing the cabinets?
Usually yes. Roll-outs, dividers and corner units go into existing cabinets as long as the boxes are sound.
Do storage upgrades need a permit?
Organizers, roll-outs and banquettes don't. A pantry that moves walls or adds a new circuit may, and we handle that when it applies.
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.
How much does kitchen storage work cost?
It depends on how many pull-outs, what they're made of and whether a pantry or banquette is involved. You get a written, itemized estimate after we measure.
How long does a storage project take?
Organizers go in quickly. Custom pantry shelving and built-in seating take a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on scope.
Do I need a Wheaton-registered contractor for storage project?
Yes: contractors register online with the City; $75 fee, renewed annually. We take care of that before work starts.
Wheaton building permit for storage project: where do I apply?
Permits go through Building & Code Enforcement Department, phone 630-260-2050. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
