Mr. D Cabinet Repairs & Woodworking

If you have a problem, hire Mr. D! Our bathroom drawer wouldn't stay closed. In under 1/2 a hour he had it fixed at a reasonable price.

I live in a unique 1920s coop in Chicago that was blessed with all the original artisan cabinetry and woodwork throughout. A recent pipe leak necessitated that an original built in butlers pantry cabinet be demolished. This cabinet wasn’t typical. It was built specifically for linens, with oversized wide and long drawers. After the demolition, only the drawers were left intact. (See photo) Every cabinet maker I interviewed refused to built a new cabinet and use the original drawers......except one. Mr. D. He relished the idea. He took exceptional care to replicate all the details of the original cabinet. He is thorough, competent and cares about his craft. At the same time, he is patient and very flexible. After he completed the cabinet, I had him retrofit my kitchen drawers with new glides. Now my older cabinets have self closing glides and float like a dream! Looking forward to my next project with his help. Thank you Mr D!!

Mr. D recently completed a kitchen renovation project for our home. Mr. D and his team treated and repainted all of the cabinets, drawers and the kitchen island and also transformed an existing cabinet space into a desk area for our family to enjoy in our new kitchen. The cost of our project was far more affordable than other resurfacing and painting contractors and the quality of Mr D's work speaks for itself. He took the time to get to understand our unique needs and helped us envision the kitchen of our dreams. He and his team then went about creating it and bringing it to life. Mr. D finished the project in far less time than we anticipated and he went above and beyond what we asked of him with customizations to our kitchen renovation and additional side projects. We would recommend Mr. D to anyone looking for cabinet repair, woodworking, painting or resurfacing expertise. We have already recommended him to several of our closest family and friends in the area.

Mr. D constructed a custom designed bar cabinet for us. The design was inspired by a bar cabinet we saw in a 1935 movie. Mr. D took our rough ideas and provided detailed drawings, made enhancements, talked us through the veneer selection process and delivered a superb product. The end result is just what we wanted and looks perfect. His craftsmanship is the best!

Marius D, aka Mr. D., revived the 120 year old maple woodwork in my home. He cleaned, repaired, scuff sanded, oiled and brought it back to life. He showcased the beauty of my home. He is knowledgeable about Victorian woodwork and its care. I highly recommend his services for both kitchen cabinetry and millwork.
