Kitchen Cabinet Water Damage Repair

In this video, I’m repairing water damage on a stained kitchen cabinet caused by a small refrigerator leak. The end panel of the lower cabinet had peeling, lifting wood — the kind of damage most people are told “you need a whole new cabinet.”

Spoiler: you don’t.

I walk you through the entire restoration process step by step, including:

How I stabilize and reattach peeling wood
The glues and materials I use (and why)
Color matching a stained finish
Blending and finishing so the repair disappears
Pro tips to make it look like the damage never happened

This is the same method we use in high-end homes when replacement isn’t an option (or doesn’t make sense). If you’re a homeowner, contractor, or DIYer, this video will show you what’s actually possible with the right technique and patience.

👉 Remember: Water damage doesn’t always mean replacement — sometimes it just needs the right repair.
