PGT Kitchen Remodeling: The Los Angeles Owner’s Guide
If you have PGT cabinetry or a PGT-fitted kitchen and something has failed, we stock and install PGT-compatible replacement parts across Los Angeles, with full kitchen remodels running $16,520 to $53,100 depending on scope. Most PGT part replacements, whether it’s a hinge, drawer glide, or cabinet face, can be handled in a single visit once we’ve confirmed the exact series and measurements.
Here’s how most Los Angeles homeowners find us: a drawer that won’t close clean anymore, a hinge that’s dropped so the door scrapes the frame, or a finish that’s worn through on the doors that face the morning sun. PGT built a lot of kitchens here over the years, and time plus our dry heat does predictable things to moving hardware and laminated surfaces. You’re not imagining the problem, and you don’t have to live with it.
Key takeaways:
- PGT-compatible parts are available in Los Angeles, and we match by series, not by guesswork.
- Full PGT kitchen remodels in Los Angeles run $16,520 to $53,100; a single part replacement is almost always far less.
- Every Mason Remodeling job gets a written price before work starts and a written guarantee for 365 days from completion.
- Call (803) 680-2547 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.
Which PGT Models This Applies To
PGT manufactured several cabinet lines over their run, and the hardware and face dimensions changed between series. The most common one we see in Los Angeles kitchens is the raised-panel oak and maple line from the late 1990s through the mid-2000s, but we also field calls about their slab-door thermofoil series and a lesser-seen beaded inset line.
The gotcha with PGT specifically: hinge screw spacing on the older raised-panel doors is 42mm, not the 48mm you’ll find on most current American cabinet lines. If you buy a generic hinge before checking that measurement, it won’t drill clean and you’ll end up patching and re-boring the door. We measure before we order, and we match the part to the box stamp inside the door frame, not just to “PGT” in general. For most homeowners, a quality aftermarket hinge or glide from Blum or Salice works as well as or better than the original PGT hardware, but we’ll tell you plainly when an OEM part is the better call. We also handle kitchens built with KraftMaid and Cambria surfaces if you’re mixing lines.
Styles & brands we work with
Signs Your PGT Kitchen Remodeling Is Failing
- A drawer that drags or sticks on one side. The nylon rollers inside the older PGT glide tracks flatten over time, and once they’re flat, the drawer rides uneven and wears the track itself.
- A cabinet door that won’t stay closed or bounces back open. The self-close mechanism on PGT’s concealed hinges uses a spring that fatigues; once it’s gone, the hinge becomes a plain pivot and the door drifts.
- Finish peeling at the bottom edge of doors near the sink or dishwasher. Moisture wicks up through the unfinished bottom rail and lifts the laminate or veneer; this is the most common PGT failure we see in Los Angeles kitchens with older dishwasher venting.
- Soft-close drawers that now slam shut. The dampener cartridge fails quietly, and most owners don’t notice until a kid lets the drawer go and the whole cabinet face vibrates.
- Hinge screws that keep stripping out of the door. This usually means the door has been re-hung once or twice and the original pilot holes are hogged out; the fix is a threaded insert or a new door face, not a longer screw.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
In Los Angeles, a single PGT part replacement, hinge, glide, or catch, typically runs $118 to $354 installed, including the part, the trip, and the labor. A full hardware refresh across a standard PGT kitchen, all hinges and glides swapped, usually falls between $590 and $1,770 depending on door and drawer count. And if you’re at the point where the cabinet boxes themselves are failing, a full PGT kitchen remodel in Los Angeles runs $16,520 to $53,100.
What drives the range: how many pieces you’re replacing, whether the hinge holes can be reused or need drilling and filling, and whether you’re matching an existing finish or painting after. Every quote from Mason Remodeling is written and itemized. That means the part cost, the labor, and any materials are shown separately before we start, and the price on that sheet is the price you pay. No change orders, no end-of-job surprise. The work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right within a year of completion, we return and make it right at no charge.

DIY or Call Us?
If a hinge has simply worked loose, tightening the screws is safe and worth a try before you call. If a drawer glide is visibly broken, you can remove the drawer and bring us the glide to match; we’ll sell you the right replacement over the counter and show you how the clip releases so the install is straightforward. Cabinet hardware replacement is not dangerous work, and plenty of Los Angeles homeowners handle a single hinge swap without issue.
What goes wrong with DIY is the 42mm screw spacing issue on older PGT doors, which we mentioned above. Drill twice and the door is compromised, and now you’re buying a new door face instead of a $5 hinge. Also, finish-matched doors are nearly impossible to source as singles; if you damage a face, the repair bill jumps. If any of this sounds like more than you want to take on, call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll match the part correctly the first time. Isaac Pruett checks the trim and door fit on every completed job before it’s considered done; sloppy work doesn’t leave the truck, and it doesn’t leave your kitchen.
FAQs
A well-kept PGT kitchen in Los Angeles typically gives you 20 to 30 years of service, with hardware being the first thing to go and the cabinet boxes themselves usually outlasting the doors by a decade. Our dry climate helps, but south-facing kitchens near windows see faster finish fade and door warping. Call (803) 680-2547 if you want us to assess yours; the estimate is free.
Some can, hinges can be re-sprung, stripped screw holes can be plugged and re-drilled, and drawer fronts can be re-laminated, but the repair only makes sense if the underlying part still has life in it. We’ll tell you honestly when a repair buys you a year and when replacement is the better money. Call (803) 680-2547 and describe what’s failing; we’ll give you a straight answer.
Most single-part replacements, a hinge, a glide, a catch, are done within an hour of our arrival, and we always carry common PGT-compatible hardware in the truck. Full hardware refreshes usually take half a day. A complete PGT kitchen remodel in Los Angeles typically runs four to eight weeks depending on scope and material lead times. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll give you a real timeline, not a promise we can’t keep.
We stock the most common PGT-compatible replacement parts on the truck: 42mm concealed hinges, drawer glides, soft-close dampeners, and catch mechanisms.
