Cabinet Solutions - Commercial & Residential

 A scraped dining chair leg, a water ring on a coffee table, a chipped cabinet corner near the trash pull-out. These little hits add up, and suddenly your home looks more worn than it should. Most people end up picking one of three options: live with it, replace it, or try a DIY fix that looks fine from across the room. The better middle path is Furniture Medic , a mobile repair and restoration service that can often fix the problem on-site, with less mess than a big project. If the damage is mostly in the kitchen, many homeowners also compare cabinet-focused options like Dr. Cabinet for a quicker style update without ripping everything out. What Furniture Medic does, and what problems it can solve fast At its core, Furniture Medic is a repair and restoration service for wood and finished surfaces. Many locations come to you, which matters when the “piece” is a built-in cabinet run, trim, a banister, or a heavy table you can’t easily haul to a shop. The jobs tend to fall int...

Cabinet resurfacing (also called refacing) is the “new skin” upgrade for your kitchen. The cabinet boxes stay, but you get new doors , a new veneer or laminate on the visible frames, and usually new hardware (sometimes new hinges and moldings, too). It can change the whole room without tearing your kitchen apart. That’s why photos matter so much before you spend a dollar. A pretty gallery can hide sloppy seams, odd gaps, or lighting tricks. In this post, you’ll learn how to read photos like a pro, what “good” really looks like up close, and which before-and-after looks are showing up everywhere in 2026. If you’re collecting inspiration for a quote from Dr. Cabinet, these tips help you choose photos that won’t fool you. What to look for in pictures of resurfaced kitchen cabinets (so you can trust what you are seeing) When you’re scrolling pictures of resurfaced kitchen cabinets , don’t judge the project by color alone. Color is easy. Quality is in the lines, the edges, and the part...

A small chip in a laminate counter can feel like a scratch on a new car. Your eyes go straight to it, even if it’s tiny. The good news is that most small dings don’t need a full replacement. A laminate countertop filler is a colored paste made to hide minor chips, cracks, and seam gaps in laminate surfaces. When it’s applied well, it blends into the pattern and sheen so the spot stops grabbing attention. Set expectations, though. Filler is best for small damage, usually up to about 1/4 inch wide. It’s not meant for big missing sections, swollen particle board, or loose laminate. For a clean, long-lasting look, Dr. Cabinet often recommends pro-grade fillers and proper prep instead of quick “smear and hope” fixes. Choosing the right laminate countertop filler for your countertop (color match, finish, and damage size) A repair can fail for two reasons: the filler isn’t right for the job, or the color and sheen don’t match. Picking the right product upfront saves time, and it keeps yo...

 A true factory finish on cabinets feels almost like glass under your fingertips. It’s smooth, hard, and even, with a consistent sheen across every door and drawer. No brush marks, no gritty specks, no dull patches where paint didn’t level. Most DIY cabinet paint jobs look “home painted” for two reasons: the surface wasn’t prepped enough, and the paint was applied too heavy (or in the wrong way). The good news is you don’t need a professional shop to pull this off. With a smart setup in a garage or spare room, you can get results that look built-in and new. This guide walks through how to get factory finish on cabinets using the same method Dr. Cabinet follows: prep like a pro, use the right primer and cabinet-grade paint, then apply thin, controlled coats. Prep work that makes cabinets look factory-made If you want the finish to look factory-made, prep is the job. Painting is the easy part. Prep is where the smoothness comes from, and it’s what keeps paint from chipping aroun...

 Walnut has a way of making a kitchen feel calm and confident. The color runs from warm chocolate to lighter, honey tones, with grain that looks rich without being loud. It’s also a premium wood, so pricing can feel like a moving target, even when two kitchens look similar. If you’ve been searching Walnut Kitchen Cabinets Cost , you’ve probably seen numbers that don’t line up. That’s normal. Walnut cabinets can be veneer over a different core, or solid walnut, they can be stock-sized or fully built to your layout, and quotes may or may not include install. This guide breaks down 2026 price ranges, what changes the cost most, and a simple way to estimate your own kitchen with less guesswork. For a sanity check on specs and scope, Dr. Cabinet can also be a helpful second set of eyes. Walnut Kitchen Cabinets Cost in 2026, real price ranges by cabinet type Walnut cabinets sit in a premium tier, and true stock walnut is uncommon. When you see “walnut” at lower price points, it’s oft...

  Buying cabinets is exciting, until you realize one wrong measurement can throw off everything, your sink, your range, even how your kitchen feels when you chop vegetables. The  standard Kitchen Countertop Size  exists for a reason. It fits most base cabinets, most appliances, and most people’s comfort without making you custom-build every part. Before you order cabinets, stone, or a new slide-in range, it helps to know the common numbers and what they mean in real life. Dr. Cabinet often reminds homeowners that countertop choices aren’t just about looks, they’re about reach, posture, and clearances. This guide covers the most common standards (height, depth, thickness, and overhang), plus when it makes sense to tweak them for islands, seating, and day-to-day comfort. Standard kitchen countertop size basics, height, depth, thickness, and overhang If kitchen planning had a “default setting,” this would be it. The standard measurements work because they match mass-made cab...
