Cabinet repair in Apopka and Central Florida
Quick answer
HandyMangum repairs kitchen and bathroom cabinets: hinges and doors that sag, drawers that fall off their slides, and sink bases swollen by a leak. When a cabinet is too far gone, we replace that one cabinet to fit your existing layout rather than redoing the kitchen. In Apopka we replaced a water-damaged kitchen sink base with a new cabinet that matched the rest of the run. Call or text (407) 699-1123 for a free estimate.
Repair first, replace only what has to go
Most cabinet problems are hardware: worn hinges, stripped screw holes and tired drawer slides. Those are quick fixes. The bigger job is the sink base. A slow drip from a supply line or drain soaks into the cabinet floor long before anyone sees water on the floor.
Particleboard that has swollen does not go back down when it dries. If the sides and face frame are solid, we can replace the cabinet floor. If the box itself is soft, we replace the whole sink base and fit it to the counter and the cabinets beside it.
What we fix
- Doors that sag, rub or will not close
- Stripped or pulled-out hinge screws
- Drawers that stick, sag or fall off the track
- Broken drawer boxes and fronts
- Swollen or soft sink-base floors
- A single cabinet replaced to match the run
- Soft-close hinge and slide upgrades where the cabinet allows
- New knobs and pulls
How the job goes
Find the leak
For water damage, the plumbing leak is fixed first and the cabinet dried out. We tell you if that part needs a plumber.
Repair or replace
We rebuild the cabinet floor or replace the box, keeping the counter in place where possible.
Reconnect and adjust
Doors and drawers are hung and adjusted so the run lines up again.
A real Apopka job
The fix
We removed it and installed a brand-new cabinet that fit the existing layout and matched the design of the kitchen.
The result
A working, dry sink base and a kitchen that looks like nothing happened.
Good to know
- Act early. Wood that stays wet gets worse fast, and catching a drip early can mean a repair instead of a replacement.
- Hard water in parts of Central Florida is tough on supply lines and shutoff valves. While the cabinet is open is a good time to replace them.
- An exact color match on older cabinets is not always possible. We will tell you before the job how close a replacement door or box will be.
- Replacing cabinets in the same layout generally does not need a permit. If any part of the job needs a permit or a state-licensed trade, such as new plumbing lines or new wiring, we tell you during the quote and that part is handled by properly licensed professionals.
- We coordinate damage and restoration work, such as water, storm and fire damage, through trusted restoration partners. HandyMangum does not perform restoration work itself.

“Had bathroom mirror, medicine cabinet, faucet and light fixture installed. All done well and because I was not home, photos were sent to verify work completed. Had a very good experience”
Laura R. Google review
“We had a few different handymen visit us on separate occasions. They were sent as subcontractors to our cabinet guy working on our full kitchen remodel. Though the guys that showed up were young, they came with very good skills and shocked my wife and I at their ability to be as professional as any contractor I've worked with. It's now months later and I am still confounded at how courteous and CLEAN these young men were.
These guys are legit handymen and the young men are actively learning every day to be better at their trade.
Call them, you won't be disappointed.
P.S. Keep up the good work Adam and stop losing your tape measure. ;)”Jason P. Google review
Cabinet Repair FAQs
Can a water-damaged sink cabinet be repaired?
Often, yes. If only the cabinet floor is swollen and the sides and frame are solid, we replace the floor. If the box is soft or delaminated, we replace the sink base cabinet.
Can you replace just one cabinet?
Yes. We replace single cabinets and fit them to your counter and the cabinets beside them, as we did on our Apopka sink-base job.
Why do my cabinet doors sag?
Usually worn or loose hinges, or screws that have stripped the wood. Adjusting or replacing the hinges and repairing the screw holes fixes most of them.
Can you add soft-close hinges?
Often, if the cabinet and hinge style allow it. We check before we order parts.
Do you work outside Apopka?
Yes. We are based in Longwood and work across Central Florida, including Apopka, Orlando, Sanford, Lake Mary and Altamonte Springs.
