Before your piece comes into the studio.

Can you repair a cabinet without refinishing it?

Often, yes. Structural, drawer, door and hardware repairs may be completed while preserving the existing finish when its condition allows.

Can water-damaged cabinets be repaired?

Many can. The scope depends on swelling, delamination, staining, veneer loss and whether the underlying material remains stable.

Can you build a missing drawer, door or trim piece?

Yes. Missing wood components can often be fabricated to match the cabinet's construction and remaining profiles.

Do you repair antique cabinets?

Yes. We assess original joinery, veneer, hardware and finish before recommending a preservation-minded repair plan.

Do you offer pickup and delivery?

Yes. Pickup and delivery are available throughout Northern Colorado and the Denver metro area. Built-in work requires a separate access review.

How do I request a cabinet repair estimate?

Send overall photos, close-ups of each issue, approximate dimensions and a note explaining how the cabinet should function.
