Our cabinet repair and shelving service fixes the cabinets you use every day and adds storage where your house is short on it. We rehang sagging doors, replace stripped and broken hinges, rebuild drawer boxes, install soft-close slides and pull-out trays, and build sturdy floating shelves and alcove built-ins.

Kitchen and bathroom cabinets in Florida see a lot of moisture, and particleboard boxes swell when a sink or dishwasher leaks. We replace damaged cabinet floors and sink bases with moisture-resistant material, so you do not have to replace a full run of cabinets because of one bad box.

Make old cabinets work like new

Most cabinet complaints come down to hardware: worn hinges, loose screws in stripped holes and drawer slides that have given up. Replacing hardware and reinforcing the boxes costs far less than new cabinets, and we can pair it with painting or refinishing for a full refresh.

Floating shelves that actually hold weight

Floating shelves look simple, but they fail when they are hung on drywall anchors. We fasten hidden steel brackets or a wood cleat into the studs on three sides of an alcove, so the shelves can carry dishes, books or a collection of plants without sagging.

We build shelves from solid lumber, sanded and finished with a stain and clear coat of your choice. Pair them with base cabinets and you get a built-in look at a fraction of custom millwork pricing.
