Cabinet Repair
Kitchen cabinets endure heavy daily use and show wear through sagging hinges, damaged doors, and worn finishes over time. New Leaf handles cabinet repairs for Cincinnati homeowners who want to extend the life of their existing cabinets without a full replacement.
Signs You Need Cabinet Repair
- Cabinet doors that hang unevenly or will not close fully
- Hinges that are loose, stripped, or have pulled away from the cabinet box
- Drawer fronts or boxes that sag, stick, or come off the slides
- Door and drawer faces that show water damage, peeling veneer, or deep scratches
- Cabinet interiors with shelves that have warped or dropped
- Knobs and pulls that are broken, missing, or mismatched after past repairs
Typical Cost Range
$500 - $900 (hardware and minor repairs)
Varies by number of cabinets and repair scope
Can you match new doors to my existing cabinet style?
We source doors in a wide range of styles and finishes. For a close match to existing cabinetry, we can bring samples and compare them in your kitchen. An exact match to discontinued styles is not always possible, but we can find options that look intentional rather than patched.
Do I need to empty the cabinets before you arrive?
For hinge and hardware repairs, you typically do not need to empty everything. For drawer slide replacement or interior shelf work, clearing the relevant cabinets helps the job go faster. We will let you know what to prepare in advance.
Countertop Repair and Replacement
Countertop damage is a common kitchen issue, from chipped laminate edges to cracked solid surface material around the sink. New Leaf repairs and replaces countertops for Greater Cincinnati homeowners working with laminate, butcher block, and solid surface materials.
Signs You Need Countertop Repair and Replacement
- Chips or cracks along the front edge or around the sink cutout
- Laminate that is peeling, lifting, or bubbling near the sink or stove
- Water damage along the seam between the counter and backsplash
- Countertop surface that has burned, scratched deeply, or stained permanently
- Visible separation at counter seams that collect debris and moisture
- Countertop that is no longer level or has shifted on the cabinet base
Typical Cost Range
$500 - $700 (crack or chip repair) | $900 - $3,500 (replacement)
Depends on material (laminate, butcher block, solid surface) and square footage
Can a chipped laminate countertop be repaired, or does it need replacement?
Small chips and edge damage can often be repaired with color-matched filler kits that produce a clean result. Larger areas of peeling, delamination, or water damage typically warrant replacement. We will assess the damage and tell you honestly which route makes more sense.
Do you handle the sink disconnection and reconnection?
We coordinate countertop replacements around sink work. Plumbing disconnection and reconnection is handled by a licensed plumber, which we can coordinate as part of the overall project scope if needed.
How long does a countertop replacement take?
Template and fabrication typically takes a few days after measurement. Installation of a standard laminate or butcher block countertop usually takes one day. We give you a clear schedule in the estimate so you can plan your kitchen downtime accordingly.
Kitchen Flooring Repair
Kitchen floors take more abuse than almost any other surface in the home, and damage from water, heavy traffic, or appliance movement is common. New Leaf repairs and replaces kitchen flooring for Cincinnati homeowners working with tile, hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, and sheet vinyl.
Signs You Need Kitchen Flooring Repair
- Tiles that are cracked, chipped, or have come loose from the subfloor
- Soft or springy spots underfoot that suggest subfloor damage
- Flooring that has buckled, warped, or lifted around the dishwasher or sink
- Grout lines that are cracked, stained through, or missing in sections
- Vinyl or LVP planks with visible peeling, tearing, or separation at seams
- Hardwood flooring that has cupped, swollen, or shows dark water stains
Typical Cost Range
$500 - $900 (spot repairs) | $1,200 - $4,500 (full floor replacement)
Varies by floor type, square footage, and subfloor condition
Can you replace just a few damaged tiles without redoing the whole floor?
Yes, spot tile replacement is possible when matching tile is available. If the original tile has been discontinued, we will source the closest match and discuss the look with you before proceeding. The repair area is re-grouted to blend with the surrounding floor.
Do you need to remove appliances to repair the flooring?
For most kitchen floor repairs, we work around appliances unless the damage is directly beneath them. If an appliance needs to move, we will include that in the scope and note any coordination needed on your end.
What happens if there is subfloor damage underneath the flooring?
Subfloor repairs are included in our scope when needed. We do not install new flooring over a compromised subfloor. If we discover damage during demo, we document it and discuss the additional work and cost with you before proceeding.
Kitchen Drywall and Ceiling Repair
Kitchen drywall and ceilings are frequently damaged by water leaks, range hood installations, lighting upgrades, and general wear. New Leaf patches and replaces drywall sections throughout Greater Cincinnati kitchens with clean finish work and careful texture matching.
Signs You Need Kitchen Drywall and Ceiling Repair
- Water stains or discoloration on the ceiling from a past leak
- Holes or open patches left after removing an old range hood or vent
- Cracks running along the ceiling near a load-bearing wall or header
- Drywall that is soft, sagging, or crumbling in a moisture-prone area
- Uneven texture around a previous patch job that was never blended properly
- Peeling paint that reveals damaged or unstable drywall underneath
Typical Cost Range
$500 - $700 (patch repairs) | $700 - $2,200 (section replacement)
Depends on damage size, texture matching, and ceiling type
Can you match the existing texture on my kitchen ceiling?
Texture matching is a skill we take seriously. We identify the existing texture type and replicate it on the patch before priming. Results depend on the original texture complexity, and we will be upfront if a perfect match requires refinishing a larger area.
Will you address the source of a water leak before patching?
We confirm that the leak source has been resolved before installing new drywall. If the source is still active, we will note it during the consultation and can refer you to a plumber. Patching over an active leak is not something we do.
How long does a drywall patch take to dry before painting?
Joint compound typically needs 24 hours between coats and full cure before paint. Most kitchen drywall patches are complete within two to three days from start to prime-ready. We will give you a timeline in the estimate.
Kitchen Tile and Backsplash
Kitchen tile repairs and new backsplash installations are among the most common kitchen projects New Leaf handles for Cincinnati homeowners. Whether you need a few cracked tiles replaced or a full backsplash installed behind a new range or countertop, we handle the work from prep through grouting.
Signs You Need Kitchen Tile and Backsplash
- Backsplash tiles that are cracked, chipped, or have come loose from the wall
- Grout that is crumbling, missing, or stained in ways that cannot be cleaned
- No backsplash behind the range or sink where one should be
- Tiles installed over a surface that was not properly prepared, causing movement
- Backsplash that ends abruptly where a new countertop was installed
- Tile that has separated at a seam between the counter and the wall
Typical Cost Range
$500 - $900 (repairs) | $900 - $3,200 (new backsplash installation)
Based on tile type, square footage, and pattern complexity
Can you replace a few cracked backsplash tiles without redoing the whole thing?
Yes, if matching tile is available. We always recommend keeping a few extra tiles from the original installation for this reason. If you do not have spares, we will do our best to source a match, and we will show you options before proceeding.
What is included in a backsplash installation?
Our backsplash installations include surface prep, backer board if needed, setting the tile, grouting, and caulking at the counter-to-tile joint. We also cover outlets and switches with tile around them when applicable. All materials are specified in the written estimate.
How long does a backsplash installation take?
A standard backsplash installation typically takes one to two days. Setting tile requires a cure period before grouting, so the project usually spans two days with a break in between. We schedule around your kitchen use as much as possible.
Kitchen Trim and Finish Carpentry
Kitchen trim work includes the baseboards, window casing, door casing, toe kicks, and crown molding that give the room its finished appearance. New Leaf handles trim repairs and new installations for Cincinnati kitchens that need finish carpentry work to complete a renovation or address wear from years of use.
Signs You Need Kitchen Trim and Finish Carpentry
- Baseboards that have pulled away from the wall behind the refrigerator or dishwasher
- Toe kicks that are damaged, missing, or do not fit flush after a cabinet change
- Door or window casing in the kitchen that is cracked, split, or warped
- Crown molding above upper cabinets that has gaps, cracks, or missing sections
- Trim that was never installed after a kitchen renovation or countertop replacement
- Mismatched trim profiles from a previous repair that does not align with the rest of the kitchen
Typical Cost Range
$500 - $700 (repair) | $600 - $2,200 (installation)
Varies by scope, profile, and linear footage
Can you match my existing trim profile in the kitchen?
We carry a wide selection of standard trim profiles and can source custom millwork for less common styles. If the profile is still available, we will match it exactly. If not, we find the closest option and discuss it with you before cutting anything.
Do you handle toe kick installation after a cabinet repair?
Yes. Toe kick panels are part of our cabinet and trim scope. When cabinets are replaced or repositioned, the toe kicks often need to be cut and refitted. We include this detail work as part of the project rather than leaving it for a separate trip.
Will the trim be painted when you finish?
We can prime and paint trim as part of the project or deliver it primed for your painter. The scope will be specified clearly in the written estimate. We do not leave raw, unprimed wood exposed at the end of a job.
