Older cabinets in Rosemead
Around Rosemead’s 1959 median build year, many kitchens have solid wood face-frame cabinets that have been painted more than once. Old hardware holes are often off-center, so we plan the new spacing before drilling.
Longer pulls can usually cover old knob holes without filling them.
How it goes
Plan
We pick placement and check spacing with you.
Jig
A template marks every door and drawer the same.
Drill and mount
Holes are drilled clean and hardware installed.
Adjust
Hinges are adjusted so doors line up.
New cabinets
Replacing cabinet boxes or refacing goes to a cabinet shop.
While we’re out for this, Rosemead customers often add childproofing, cabinet door and drawer repair, under-cabinet lighting installation or furniture anchoring.

Hardware questions
Can you install new cabinet pulls where knobs were?
Yes. We fill the old hole or choose a pull that covers it.
Can old cabinets get soft-close hinges?
Usually, with new hinges or clip-on dampers.
Can you replace a broken cabinet hinge?
Yes, matched by type and overlay.
How much does cabinet hardware installation cost?
It depends on the count. Text a photo for a free estimate.
