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.

Cabinet and drawer problems we repair in Winfield
When one or two things in the kitchen are broken, a repair is the sensible fix. We come to your Winfield home, find out why the door, drawer or box failed and fix the cause, not just the symptom.
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.
Sagging shelves
Particleboard shelves bow under dishes over time. We replace them with plywood shelves or add support at the back.
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.
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.
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.
Peeling thermofoil or edge banding
Lifting vinyl film or loose edge banding can sometimes be reglued if it is caught early. Badly peeled doors are replaced.
Swollen sink base floor
Water-damaged sink bases are one of our most common repairs. Once the leak is fixed, we replace the floor and any swollen side panels with moisture-resistant material.
What we check and fix
- DiagnosisEvery repair starts with finding the cause, whether it is a part, a leak or a shifted cabinet.
- Removing damaged partsSwollen bottoms, broken slides and failed hinges come out cleanly without harming the rest of the cabinet.
- Repairing hinge mountsStripped holes are plugged or fitted with repair plates so hinges hold.
- Hinges and adjustmentWorn hinges are replaced with matching or upgraded soft-close ones and adjusted for even gaps.
- 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.
Parts we replace

Mat for the sink baseA waterproof liner on the new floor helps catch drips in the future.
Concealed and soft-close hingesWe match your hinge type or upgrade to soft-close concealed hinges.
