What we do
Hardware replacement, done right the first time
New hardware is one of the quickest ways to refresh a kitchen or bathroom. We use a template so every knob and pull sits straight and evenly spaced.
Loose towel bars, sagging cabinet doors and drawers that won't close get fixed too. If your new pulls don't match the old holes, we'll show you the options (a backplate or filling the old holes) before we drill.
Typical time: a few minutes per knob or pull when the old holes line up; new holes take longer. Most kitchens fit in a 2- or 3-hour visit. We tackle as many items as time allows, starting with your priorities, so add the rest of your list. See all services.

“Jaime was such a pleasure to work with! He's honest and hardworking. … He was very respectful to our home, laying down a drop cloth on our carpet where he was working. He was great at communicating with me.”

FAQ

How long does it take to replace kitchen cabinet hardware?
Most kitchens fit in a 2- or 3-hour visit. Swaps that use the same holes go quickly; drilling new holes takes longer.
Can you install soft-close hinges?
Yes, on most cabinets. Send a photo of the inside of a door showing the hinge so we can check the type.
What if my new pulls don't match the old holes?
We can cover the old holes with backplates or fill them before drilling new ones. We'll go over the options with you first.
Who buys the hardware?
You do, at store prices with no markup. After seeing your photos we tell you exactly what to buy.
