"I was a victim of a hit and run on my mailbox in the middle of winter. The mailbox and wooden post were beyond repair. After some quick Googling, I found Brandon and he was out the next day to get to work on replacing everything. He even offered to pick up the new mailbox I ordered locally. With the ground being so cold, I was worried he wouldn’t be able to remove everything, but he was so innovative and was able to pull the old post and cement out of the frozen soil. He cut the new post to match the old one and he even found some metal house numbers for the post. He did such a wonderful job. I am so grateful. I will definitely be hiring him again for my other home projects. Thank you so much, Brandon!"

Yes, replacing just the bottom panel without removing the entire cabinet is possible when the cabinet frame remains in good condition. This approach typically costs approximately $150 to $200 and works well for addressing isolated water damage beneath sinks. The process involves carefully removing the damaged section and installing a properly sized replacement panel. However, when side panels show signs of water damage or mold infiltration, complete cabinet replacement becomes the more appropriate solution for structural integrity.
The bottom section of a kitchen cabinet is typically referred to as the cabinet floor or base panel. This component serves the critical function of supporting everything stored inside the cabinet. In base cabinets, particularly those under sinks, this panel faces the greatest exposure to potential water damage. When leaks occur, this area often shows the first signs of deterioration. Addressing damage promptly helps prevent more extensive issues that could compromise the entire cabinet structure.
Yes, skilled professionals can replace bottom cabinets while leaving countertops intact by temporarily supporting the countertop during the process. This approach significantly reduces project costs by eliminating the need for new countertop materials. The technique works best with solid countertops that remain in good condition and when maintaining the same cabinet configuration. For installations involving new sink styles or altered dimensions, some countertop adjustment may still be necessary.
Cabinet replacement timelines vary based on project complexity. Single cabinet replacements may require just part of a day, while complete kitchen renovations typically extend over several days. Factors affecting the timeline include kitchen size, cabinet type, and whether plumbing modifications are needed. For custom cabinets, additional lead time for manufacturing must be factored into your project planning. Preparing the space by emptying cabinets and clearing work areas beforehand helps streamline the installation process.
