Water Damage Repair

Kitchen and bathroom cabinets are prone to water damage. We can often repair swollen bases, peeling veneers, and localized rot, saving the entire cabinet box from needing replacement.

Drawer Box Replacement

If your drawers are falling apart but the fronts still look good, we can build new custom dovetail drawer boxes and attach your existing fronts. This provides the strength of new construction without changing the look.

Antique Restoration

We have special expertise in restoring antique built-ins and freestanding cabinets. We use period-appropriate techniques and materials to preserve historical value while restoring functionality.

Repair & Restoration FAQs

Can you color match my existing stain?
Yes, we specialize in custom color matching. Over time, wood changes color due to light exposure, so we custom mix stains and toners to match your cabinets as they look today, not just the original factory color.
Is it worth repairing cheap cabinets?
It depends on the extent of the damage. If the cabinet boxes are made of low-quality particle board that is crumbling, replacement might be more cost-effective. However, simple hardware upgrades often make sense even for budget cabinets. We will give you an honest assessment.
Can you fix a single damaged door?
Yes, if a single door is broken or damaged, we can repair it or fabricate a replacement that matches the rest of your kitchen.
How long does a typical repair take?
Most minor repairs and adjustments can be completed in a single visit. More extensive work, like refinishing or rebuilding drawers, might take a few days, often with main components taken to our shop to minimize in-home disruption.
Do you warrant your repair work?
Yes, we stand behind our craftsmanship. We offer a warranty on all structural repairs and hardware replacements to give you peace of mind.
