Can you fix a cabinet door that won't stay closed?

Usually, yes. It's typically a hinge adjustment, a worn hinge or a loose screw hole, and all three are quick fixes.

Can you install new cabinet pulls?

Yes. I use a template so every pull is spaced and aligned, which makes a big difference to how the kitchen looks.

Can you add soft-close to my cabinets?

In many cases, yes. Soft-close hinges and drawer slides can replace the standard ones, depending on the cabinets.

What if the cabinet box itself is damaged?

Small cracks and loose joints can be repaired. Water-swollen particleboard usually can't, and replacing the box is the honest answer.

Cabinet Repair & Hardware Installation in Martinez & Contra Costa County

Cabinets take a beating, and most of the problems are small: a door that hangs crooked, a hinge that has pulled out of the frame, a drawer that drags. I adjust and replace hinges, fix drawer slides, install new knobs and pulls, and make cabinet doors close properly again. Refacing and new cabinet installation are bigger projects, and I'll tell you where the line is.

Hinges are the usual culprit

Most sagging cabinet doors aren't broken doors. They're hinges that have worked loose or screw holes that have stripped out. A repair with the right filler and screws makes them hold again.

Hardware that fits

Pulls and knobs come in different hole spacings. Measure the center-to-center distance before ordering, and I can work from your existing holes or fill and re-drill for a different size.

Pricing

I price each job by the size of the work, access, and materials, and I quote before I start. Single-visit jobs like this stay well under California's $1,000 limit for unlicensed handyman work. Send a few photos and a short description for a quote.

When I'll Refer You to a Licensed Pro

Cabinet refacing, new cabinet installation, countertop work and anything that involves plumbing or electrical connections are bigger projects, and most go past California's $1,000 limit for unlicensed work. I'll tell you when a repair no longer makes sense and a replacement does.
