The work

Cabinet Repair & Refinishing services across Lake County, IL

Most kitchens don't need new cabinets. They need the doors to sit even, the drawers to roll, and the finish to stop looking tired.

Hinges are the usual culprit. Screws lose their grip in particleboard, the door sags, and the gaps go crooked across the whole run. That gets fixed with solid repair at the screw, not a longer screw driven into the same hole.

Beyond that: drawer slides replaced, broken drawer boxes rebuilt, doors rehung and aligned, loose face frames re-secured, and refinishing on doors that are structurally fine but look worn.

Common questions

Cabinet Repair & Refinishing, answered

Do you offer cabinet repair & refinishing across Lake County?

Yes. Cabinet Repair & Refinishing is one of our core services and we cover all of Lake County, from Lake Forest and Highland Park up to Zion and Antioch. Call (224) 944-8652 for a free estimate.

Is it worth repairing cabinets or should I replace them?

If the boxes are solid, repair wins on cost every time — the boxes are the expensive part. If they're swollen from a leak or falling apart at the joints, that's when replacement starts making sense, and we'll tell you honestly which one you have.

How much does it cost?

Every job is priced after we see the actual space, so you get a real number rather than a range. The estimate is free, it's in writing, and the scope is spelled out before any work starts.
