PGT Kitchen Remodeling: The Los Angeles Owner’s Guide
If you’re searching for PGT kitchen remodeling parts or replacement work in Los Angeles, the short answer is this: we stock PGT-compatible hardware and match it to your existing cabinetry, with full kitchen remodels typically running $16,520 – $53,100 across LA County. Most single-part replacements (hinges, slides, drawer fronts, door panels) run $200 – $900 installed, and we can usually have a technician on site within a day or two. Owners typically find us after a drawer slide locks up mid-pull, a hinge snaps at the mounting plate, or a door panel delaminates from steam exposure, and they realize the original part number isn’t available at the big box stores.
Key Takeaways
- PGT-specific parts are not universal. Hinge mounting plates, drawer slide lengths, and door profiles vary by series and year.
- Installed replacement parts run $200 – $900. Full PGT kitchen remodels run $16,520 – $53,100 in Los Angeles.
- We match, then quote. Bring us the part or a photo, and we’ll identify the series before we touch a screw.
- OEM vs. aftermarket matters. Some PGT cabinet series use proprietary slide lengths; generic replacements don’t always seat flush.
- Penhallow Remodeling Los Angeles is an independent service provider, not affiliated with PGT.

Which PGT Models This Applies To
PGT produced a range of kitchen cabinet lines over the years, and compatibility comes down to the series, not the overall cabinet look. The most common series we see in Los Angeles homes are the PGT Classic, PGT Select, and PGT Estate lines, each with slightly different drawer slide lengths and hinge cup offsets. If you open a drawer and pull it all the way out, you’ll usually find a small sticker or stamped number on the side or underside rail: that’s the part identifier we need. No sticker? Take a photo of the hinge with the door open and one of the drawer slide fully extended, and we can usually identify the hardware from those shots alone.
For PGT cabinets specifically, the OEM hardware was often sourced from Blum and Grass, but PGT sometimes used custom-length slides on pantry pullouts and pot-and-pan drawers. That’s the gotcha: a standard 22-inch slide won’t fit a PGT pantry drawer that shipped with a 20.5-inch unit, even though the packaging might suggest it’s “universal.” We’ve pulled more than a few surprises out of PGT cabinets in the Fairfax district and Culver City that confirmed this the hard way. When replacement OEM parts are discontinued, we match to a quality aftermarket equivalent from the same manufacturer (Blum Tandem, Grass Dynapro, and similar) and we tell you plainly what you’re getting before we install it.
Signs Your PGT Kitchen Remodeling Is Failing
- Drawer slides grind, catch, or won’t close all the way. Dried lubricant, worn ball bearings, or a bent rail are the usual culprits. Los Angeles dust and hard-water minerals accelerate wear on cheaper slides, especially in homes near the coast where salt air is a factor.
- Hinges sag, squeak, or the door won’t stay closed. A single tired hinge makes the door hang wrong, which then stresses the second hinge until it fails too. If one hinge is visibly bent or the screws are wallowed out, the door is chewing through its own hardware.
- Drawer fronts or door panels start to delaminate. Steam from stovetops and dishwashers seeps into the edges over years. Once the laminate starts lifting at the corners, moisture spreads under the surface and the panel will eventually crack or peel in sheets.
- Soft-close mechanisms stop working entirely. The damper cylinder inside a Blum or Grass soft-close slide or hinge loses its fluid seal over time. You’ll notice the drawer slams shut instead of easing in, and the failure is rarely worth repairing, replacement is the fix.
- Cabinet boxes feel soft at the bottom or sides. If a PGT cabinet box has taken water from a slow sink leak or dishwater spill, the particleboard core swells and loses its hold on the hardware screws. You’ll see the hinge screws start to spin instead of bite, and that means the box itself needs repair or reinforcement before new hardware will hold.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
For a single failed part on a PGT cabinet in Los Angeles, you’re generally looking at $200 – $900 installed, depending on whether we’re replacing a hinge, a slide set, a drawer front, or a full door panel. When the failure is just one hinge or one slide, the number is tight: $200 – $350 including the part and our labor. When we’re replacing a drawer front or door panel and matching the finish, that pushes toward $550 – $900 because we’re ordering the panel, matching the edging, and installing hardware in the right position.
What drives the range up is the part type, finish matching, and whether the cabinet box itself needs structural repair. A soft-close Blum slide costs more than a standard Grass slide. A painted finish that has faded from California sun is harder to match than a natural wood tone. On full remodels, the $16,520 – $53,100 range depends on layout, cabinet line, and countertop material. Here’s the breakdown:
| Service | Installed Price Range (Los Angeles) |
|---|---|
| Single hinge or slide replacement | $200 – $350 |
| Drawer front or door panel replacement | $550 – $900 |
| Full cabinet installation | $4,720 – $15,340 |
| Full kitchen remodel | $16,520 – $53,100 |
| Countertop installation | $2,360 – $7,670 |
Every replacement comes with the same thing as every Penhallow Remodeling job: a written price before we start, a defined arrival window, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the replacement fails within a year, we come back and fix it at no charge, and there’s no service call or re-inspection fee on that second visit.
DIY or Call Us?

Replacing a single cabinet hinge is a job a careful homeowner can usually manage with a screwdriver and fifteen quiet minutes, assuming the cabinet box is solid and the screw holes still bite. Replacing a drawer slide is the fork in the road: if the new slide mounts to the exact same holes, fine; if the holes don’t line up, you’re using a drill, measuring offsets, and hoping the drawer doesn’t end up crooked. The finish matching on replacement doors and drawer fronts is where DIY almost always drifts: you can’t match a UV-faded PGT finish from a paint chip, and the panel will look off from day one.
If the cabinet box itself is water-swollen, soft, or the screws are spinning, stop and call us. Swollen particleboard won’t hold hardware no matter how much glue you squeeze in, and that’s a repair, not a parts swap. Call (213) 277-6578 and describe what’s failed. We’ll identify the part, give you a written number, and tell you the arrival window before you commit to anything.
FAQs
A quality PGT cabinet hinge or slide installed in a dry, low-humidity kitchen can last 15 – 20 years, but Los Angeles kitchens with heavy stovetop use, coastal humidity, or hard-water exposure often see failures in 8 – 12 years. The slide on a pot-and-pan drawer that carries 60 pounds every day will wear faster than a spice drawer. Call (213) 277-6578 for an exact quote on your specific part, estimates are free.
A hinge with a worn spring or a bent slide rail is almost never worth repairing. The bushings and dampers inside these parts are sealed; once they wear, replacement is the only fix that lasts. We’ll always tell you honestly if a repair would hold or if you’d be throwing money at a part that’s going to fail again in six months. Call (213) 277-6578 and describe the failure, and we’ll give you a straight answer.
A single hinge or drawer slide replacement takes 30 – 60 minutes on site, assuming the cabinet box is solid and we have the correct part in hand. If we need to order a replacement drawer front or door panel with finish matching, plan on 1 – 2 weeks for the part to arrive and one visit for installation. Call (213) 277-6578 for a schedule estimate specific to your job.
We carry common Blum and Grass soft-close hinges and slides, the same manufacturers PGT used on many of its lines, on our service vehicles when we roll into Los Angeles. For PGT-specific parts like custom-length pantry slides or older series hardware, we source the exact match before the install date. We’ll also tell you plainly whether OEM or a quality aftermarket equivalent is the better buy for your cabinet. Call (213) 277-6578 and we’ll identify the part from a photo, estimates are free.
If your PGT kitchen has a part that’s failing, give you a number first, then pick up the tools. Call (213) 277-6578 for a free estimate and a written price before any work starts. We also work with KraftMaid, Cambria, and Silestone lines, so if you’re planning a broader Los Angeles kitchen remodel, we can scope the full job, cabinets, countertops, and all, under the same written guarantee.
