Replacing cabinet hardware in your Rockville kitchen or bathroom is one of the highest-impact, lowest-disruption improvements you can make. The job is more involved than it looks: bore hole spacing must align precisely, old holes need to be filled cleanly if switching hardware styles, and consistent placement across every door and drawer requires a template rather than measuring each piece by hand. Jacob and his crew get it right across every cabinet.
Rockville is the county seat with a wide mix of home ages and styles. Twinbrook homes from the 1950s and 1960s have different maintenance needs than newer Fallsgrove construction. Jacob and his crew work across that range.

Frequently Asked Questions
A full kitchen with 30 to 40 doors and drawers is a different scope than a single bathroom vanity. Cost depends on piece count and whether new holes need to be drilled. Jacob regularly works in Rockville and knows the range of home types from mid-century Twinbrook to newer Fallsgrove construction. Jacob gives you a clear quote after counting the hardware locations.
Yes. Jacob installs customer-supplied hardware. Bring the pulls, knobs, and hinges and he handles the installation. He will let you know during the visit if the hole spacing on the new pulls does not match the existing holes and whether filling and redrilling is needed.
Measure the existing pulls from center of hole to center of hole. This is the center-to-center spacing. Compare it to the center-to-center measurement on the new pulls. If they match, the new pulls drop right in. If they differ, old holes need filling and new ones need drilling.
Most standard face-frame and frameless cabinets accept soft-close hinges. The key is matching the hinge cup diameter and overlay style to the existing cabinet door. Jacob checks compatibility before installing. soft-close hinges are a direct retrofit.
A kitchen with 30 to 40 pieces of hardware that fit existing holes takes three to five hours including installation and door alignment. If holes need to be filled and redrilled, add time for filling and drying. Jacob gives you an accurate time estimate after seeing the kitchen.
Yes. Hardware installation exposes doors that were already slightly misaligned. Jacob adjusts hinge positions so doors hang level, sit flush, and close evenly as part of the same visit.
Face-frame cabinets have a wood frame on the front of the box and use overlay or inset hinges. Frameless cabinets attach hinges directly to the interior side wall. The hinge type is different for each. Pull installation works the same either way. Jacob identifies your cabinet type before sourcing or installing any hinge hardware.
New hardware on older but structurally sound cabinets is one of the most cost-effective cosmetic updates in a kitchen. If the cabinet boxes are solid, the doors are not warped, and the layout works for you, new hardware and a fresh coat of paint can extend the life of the kitchen significantly at a fraction of full replacement cost.
Yes. Drawer slide replacement is part of the same scope. Old epoxy-coated or basic steel slides can be replaced with smooth-close or soft-close undermount slides. Jacob measures the drawer and cabinet opening to spec the correct replacement slide.
