Can damaged cabinets be repaired or should they be replaced?

Most cabinet damage can be repaired if the structural integrity remains intact. Surface issues like scratches, chips, veneer peeling, faded finishes, loose hinges, or minor water damage are easily repairable and cost-effective. Replace cabinets only when boxes are severely warped, have extensive rot or mold, or structural failure from prolonged water exposure. Beverly Hills Elite Custom Cabinets assesses damage severity and recommends repair when it extends cabinet life by 10+ years at 60-80% less cost than replacement.

What types of cabinet damage can be repaired?

We repair scratches, dents, and chips using wood filler and color-matching stain. Veneer peeling or bubbling is reglued with contact cement. Water stains and discoloration are sanded and refinished with polyurethane or lacquer. We fix warped doors through steam straightening or replacement, repair broken dovetail joints, replace damaged European hinges and drawer slides from Blum or Accuride, and realign misaligned doors. Smoke damage, minor fire damage, and faded finishes are restored through cleaning, sanding, and refinishing.

Simple repairs like fixing hinges, realigning doors, or patching minor scratches take 1 to 2 hours. Moderate repairs including veneer repair, refinishing doors, or replacing hardware take 1 to 3 days. Extensive restoration involving multiple damaged cabinets, water damage repair, refinishing, and structural fixes requires 5 to 10 days depending on drying time for adhesives, wood filler, and finish coats.
