Water Damage Repair for Wood Cabinets and Built-Ins in San Marcos

Water damage is one of those problems that can sneak up on you—and when it does, it can leave a big mess behind. Whether it’s from a leaky pipe, an overflowing sink, a faulty appliance, or years of moisture buildup, water can cause severe damage to your wood cabinets, trim, and built-in features. At Ace Wood Design, we specialize in water damage repair that restores your woodwork to its original condition—without the need for a full replacement.

Because wood is porous, it soaks up moisture quickly. If not addressed promptly, you may start to notice signs such as swelling, warping, peeling, bubbling, or discoloration. Over time, these problems can worsen and potentially lead to mold growth. Common areas that often see damage include kitchen and bathroom cabinets, baseboards, vanities, crown molding, and custom-built-ins. Replacing all of this can be expensive—but usually, it’s not necessary.

We start every water damage repair with a thorough inspection. Our team assesses the extent of the damage and determines what can be repaired and what may require replacement. In many cases, we can save most of the original cabinetry by focusing only on the damaged parts.

Some of the most common repairs we perform include:

  • Drying and stabilizing wet or warped wood
  • Replacing drawer fronts, cabinet panels, or trim pieces
  • Sanding and refinishing surfaces that have bubbled or changed color
  • Applying protective sealants to help guard against future damage
  • Upgrading to moisture-resistant materials where needed

Our goal is always to make the repairs blend in seamlessly with your existing cabinetry. We carefully match the wood type, grain pattern, finish, and hardware so everything looks consistent and intentional.

Of course, it’s not just about how things look—fixing water damage quickly can help prevent mold, rot, or further structural problems. Acting early can save you time, money, and bigger headaches down the road.
