SOUND FAMILIAR?

A kitchen that works a little better.

Doors that hang crooked. Drawers that jump the track. A hinge hanging by one screw. Kitchens take a beating — the fixes are small but fiddly.

We true up doors and drawers, replace tired hardware, and handle small cabinet installs and upgrades without a remodel.

Cabinet Repairs & Installation, with care.

Restore the everyday function of cabinets and discuss small cabinet installations. Start with a description of the problem, a few photos, and any materials you already have. We’ll review the work and discuss a practical next step.

Projects to discuss

Hinge adjustmentSoft-close or standard hinges tuned so every door sits straight and shuts quietly.
Drawer hardwareSlides, pulls, and knobs repaired or replaced — drawers that glide instead of grind.
Small cabinet projectsPull-outs, organizers, and small installs that make the kitchen work harder.

Give your cabinets another look

A photo of the hinge or drawer slide is often more useful than a photo of the closed cabinet. Include the cabinet material, dimensions, and any replacement parts you have.

A sensible scope, with clear limits

Installation depends on sound backing, the cabinet design, and appropriate mounting. Countertop, plumbing, electrical, and structural changes are not included.

My kitchen is 30 years old — is it worth fixing?+

Usually, yes. Hinges and slides are cheap parts; a tune-up can add years to solid older cabinets for a fraction of replacement.

Do you install pull-out shelves?+

Yes — pull-outs and organizers are among our most-requested kitchen upgrades, especially for lower cabinets.

What should I send with my request?+

Include close-up and wider photos, approximate dimensions, your town, and your preferred timing. Don’t include private medical details or sensitive information.

Are materials included?+

Material requirements and who supplies them are agreed as part of the quote. Matching existing finishes may depend on what products are available.

Can this be combined with other small jobs?+

Tell us about the full list. We can review which jobs fit together, rather than assuming every repair needs a separate visit.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. No runaround.

1. Tell us the whole list. Small jobs belong together. One visit for the full list costs far less than three separate calls.
2. Pick a time that suits your house. We schedule around naps, aide visits, and quiet hours — mornings, afternoons, you choose.
3. Done right, checked together. We test everything, tidy up, and explain any care tips in plain words before we go.

WHY STEADY

Why neighbors call us back.

Local Kensington crew.

We're based in Kensington — Berlin, New Britain, and central CT are our neighbors, not a service radius on a map.

We confirm fit before booking.

If a job needs a specialist instead of a handyman, we'll tell you straight and point you right.

Tidy is part of the job.

Drop cloths, daily cleanup, and a final walkthrough where you check everything before we pack up.

A VISIT THAT FITS YOUR HOME

Know what happens before anyone gets started.

We begin by understanding your priority and checking whether the task is suitable for a handyman visit. Photos and dimensions can help, but a phone conversation is a perfectly good place to start.

Before the visit, agree who will supply parts, how the working area will be accessed, and who can approve the work. Tell us about pets, fragile belongings, or times when the household needs quiet.

Once the agreed work is complete, ask for a walkthrough and any instructions about drying, curing, weight limits, or using newly fitted items. If another trade or specialist is needed, that should be part of the conversation.
