Under-The-Kitchen Sink Pull-Out Storage Made Custom in Chicago North

The area beneath the kitchen sink often becomes one of the most overlooked spaces in a residence. Throughout Chicago North, from historic Lincoln Park grey stones to contemporary homes in Gurnee, these cabinets frequently present challenges such as awkward plumbing layouts, restricted height, and tight dimensions. ShelfGenie® of Chicago North builds custom under-the-sink storage around your actual plumbing, so the space finally works for you.

Under-The-Kitchen Sink Pull-Outs: Maximizing Space and Efficiency

No two under-sink cabinets are the same, especially across Lake County’s varied housing stock. The pipe placement in a 1920s Chicago bungalow differs from that in a Lincoln Park renovation or a North Shore colonial. That’s why off-the-shelf organizers rarely solve the problem. ShelfGenie measures your cabinet and builds a riser-based storage system that works with your plumbing configuration.

  • Side riser shelves.

    Side Riser

    A side riser fits on either side of the main plumbing column, using open space.

  • Front riser shelves.

    Front Riser

    A front riser sits between the cabinet door and the front edge of the pipe to offer tiered storage.

  • Independent risers under kitchen sink.

    This is one of the best configurations for kitchen sink storage because it keeps everything within immediate reach.

  • A custom kitchen riser system uses the full height and width of the space, working around pipes.

  • Customized storage helps maintain order by ensuring cleaning materials, trash liners, and dishwashing essentials each have a dedicated place.

  • A custom riser system brings items up and forward, so what you need is visible and reachable without a struggle.

  • Every kitchen riser is custom-built to fit your cabinet and plumbing. Made from hardwood, these solutions support up to 100 pounds, easily handling heavy cleaning supplies and bulk items.
