Why Los Angeles Homeowners Choose KraftMaid Construction
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet construction, refacing, and Kraftmaid repair in Los Angeles across the city, from the flats of the Valley to the hillside homes of Echo Park and Silver Lake. We’re not an authorized KraftMaid dealer, and we’ve never claimed to be. What we are is a crew that has opened up enough KraftMaid boxes over twenty years to know exactly where these cabinets fail and what’s worth fixing versus replacing. Call (213) 632-5711 for a free estimate on any KraftMaid project.
KraftMaid has been making cabinets in the U.S. since 1969, and their product lines have shifted over the decades from the raised-panel workhorses of the 1990s to the slab-door, frameless-influenced designs homeowners favor today. That range is exactly why experience matters. A Vantage line from 2015 has different hinge specs, different door tolerances, and different veneer behavior than a Durham from 2021. If you’re in a Los Angeles home with KraftMaid cabinets and something isn’t right, you want someone who can identify the line, diagnose the failure, and give you an honest answer on repair versus replacement before you spend a dime.
Why Trust Mason Remodeling Co Los Angeles for Your KraftMaid Construction?
Isaac Pruett grew up in the San Fernando Valley watching his uncle tear apart and rebuild houses on Roscoe Boulevard, and he trained in construction technology at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College downtown before spending nearly two decades on residential and light commercial jobs across LA County, including Kraftmaid in Van Nuys. That’s the hands-on foundation behind Mason Remodeling Co Los Angeles. Our crews have rebuilt and refaced hundreds of KraftMaid cabinet installations, including veneer repairs on the contemporary slab-door lines and hinge retrofits on older raised-panel lines. We know the tolerance quirks and hardware specs from field work, not showroom brochures.
Every Mason Remodeling Co Los Angeles technician arrives under The Threshold Standard: background-checked, identity-verified, in a clean marked uniform, with a photo ID badge at the door. You’ll know the name and face of who is coming before they ring the bell. And before any tool is unpacked, you’ll have a written price for the work. No verbal estimates that grow by the end of the job. If something isn’t right within 365 days of completion, our Done Right Promise means we make it right at no cost to you. That’s the kind of accountability a KraftMaid repair deserves.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Fix in Los Angeles
These are the issues we see most often in Los Angeles kitchens, week after week:
- Thermofoil door fronts peeling and delaminating at edges. KraftMaid’s thermofoil doors, common on Vantage and Hartville lines, are a vinyl layer heat-bonded to an MDF core. Near dishwashers, sinks, and any source of steam, that vinyl starts to lift at the bottom edge and corners. Once moisture gets behind the film, the MDF swells and the peeling accelerates. The Los Angeles climate isn’t especially humid, but dishwashers create their own microclimate. We reface these doors with real wood veneer or order replacements when the box is still sound.
- Soft-close hinges losing tension on Vantage and Myers lines. Those small hydraulic dampers inside KraftMaid’s soft-close hinges wear out with daily use. After three to five years, doors that once whispered shut start slamming. Sometimes it’s one hinge; often it’s every door in the kitchen. This is a hinge replacement, not a cabinet replacement. We stock compatible KraftMaid soft-close units and can retrofit older lines that never had them.
- Corner base cabinet carousels binding on rails. Los Angeles homes, especially those on hillsides or older foundations, settle. When the floor drops even 3/16 of an inch, a corner carousel’s rail system can bind and refuse to turn smoothly. The issue isn’t the carousel itself. It’s the floor. We level the cabinet base, shim the rails, and restore smooth rotation. In homes with significant settling, we’ll tell you honestly if structural work is needed before cabinet repairs make sense.
- Wood veneer drawer boxes splitting at dovetail joints. KraftMaid’s wood drawer boxes are solid, but overloaded drawers eventually split at the dovetail joints where the front meets the sides. We see this most in base cabinets under cooktops and in pantry pull-outs. When the split is clean, we rebuild the box with matching maple or birch. When the split is widespread or the box sides are swollen, we replace the drawer entirely.
- Discontinued door styles that can’t be matched through KraftMaid. This is the reality of buying any cabinet line that updates its catalog every few years. The Durham line you installed in 2018 might not be available in 2026. We machine custom doors and face frames from matching maple or birch to replicate the profile and finish, so you don’t have to replace every box in the kitchen because three doors failed.
KraftMaid Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
When a KraftMaid cabinet box is still square and the face frames are solid, repair is almost always the smarter financial decision. We source genuine KraftMaid hinges, drawer glides, and replacement doors whenever the line is still in production. For discontinued lines, we machine custom doors and face frames from matching maple or birch and finish them to match the existing cabinetry. The trade-off is time: a custom machined door takes longer than ordering an OEM part. We’ll tell you the timeline upfront.
Replacement makes more sense when the box sides are swollen from water exposure, when the thermofoil is peeling on more than 30% of the door fronts, or when the cabinet structure itself has failed. We’ll walk you through the math and the timeline either way. Our job is to give you the honest read, then execute whatever you decide. If you’re on the fence, call (213) 632-5711 and we’ll inspect your cabinets in person before recommending anything.
Our KraftMaid Service Process – Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis and written price. We inspect every box, every hinge, and every door front. You get a written, line-item price before any work begins. That includes parts, labor, and any finishing work. No surprises later.
- 2
Parts sourcing or custom machining. If genuine KraftMaid parts are available, we order them. If the line is discontinued, we machine what’s needed from matching maple or birch in our shop. You’ll know which path we’re taking and why before we proceed.
- 3
Repair, reface, or full installation. Whether it’s refacing a full Myers kitchen, retrofitting soft-close hinges on older cabinets, or installing a new island, the work is done by name-verified technicians in uniform who arrive on time and leave the site clean.
- 4
Function test and walkthrough. We test every hinge, drawer glide, and door alignment before we call the job done. If a carousel still binds or a door doesn’t close flush, it gets fixed before we pack up.
- 5
Written guarantee. Every job gets a written guarantee with clear terms. The Done Right Promise covers the work for 365 days from the completion date. If something fails, we come back and make it right at no charge.

AfterKraftMaid Products We Service & Install in Los Angeles
We service and install across the KraftMaid lineup, including the Vantage line with its frameless-influenced slab doors and soft-close hardware, the Myers line with its shaker profiles and wide drawer banks, the Hartville series popular in mid-range remodels, and the Durham line with its painted and stained oak offerings. We stock common KraftMaid-compatible hinges, drawer glides, and touch-up kits locally in Los Angeles for faster turnaround on standard repairs. For door and face frame replacements, we either order through the KraftMaid parts channel or machine custom pieces in-house, depending on availability.
We also handle full cabinet installation and refacing, kitchen island installation, and complete kitchen remodels where KraftMaid cabinetry is the anchor. If you’re planning a full KraftMaid kitchen in a hillside home, our General Contractor crews know what it takes to level cabinets on uneven flooring and to work around the structural realities of older Los Angeles houses. That’s field knowledge a showroom doesn’t give you.
We Also Service These Brands
While KraftMaid is a brand we work with constantly, we’re not tied to a single manufacturer. We install and service Cambria and Silestone countertops alongside KraftMaid cabinetry, and we work with Kohler and Toto fixtures for full kitchen and bath remodels. If your project involves multiple brands, you don’t need multiple contractors. One crew handles it, one written price covers it, and one guarantee backs the entire job.
FAQs – KraftMaid Construction Service in Los Angeles
No. We are an independent KraftMaid service provider. We have no corporate affiliation with KraftMaid or its parent company, and we’ve never represented ourselves otherwise. What we bring is field experience with KraftMaid cabinetry across four product lines and two decades of Los Angeles remodels.
Yes, whenever the parts are still in production. We source genuine KraftMaid hinges, drawer glides, and replacement doors through the available parts channel. For discontinued lines, we machine custom doors and face frames from matching maple or birch. We’ll tell you which applies to your cabinets and what the cost difference is before we order anything.
Standard hinge replacements take a day or less. Door refacing for a 12-15 door kitchen typically runs three to five days. Full KraftMaid kitchen installation or island installation usually lands in the one to two week range, depending on scope and custom parts. Kraftmaid service in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles hillside homes with structural issues can extend the timeline, and we’ll flag that early in the diagnosis. Call (213) 632-5711 for a project-specific timeline.
We service and install the Vantage, Myers, Hartville, and Durham lines, along with older KraftMaid raised-panel cabinets from the 1990s and 2000s. Each line has its own hinge specs, door tolerances, and finish behavior. We know the differences because we’ve worked on them in real Los Angeles kitchens, not from a brochure.
If your KraftMaid cabinets are still under the manufacturer’s warranty, any third-party modification can affect that coverage. We recommend checking your warranty terms before proceeding with refacing or component replacement. For older KraftMaid cabinets that are well past warranty, this is rarely a concern, and refacing with real wood veneer extends the life of boxes that are still structurally sound.
Here are the real Los Angeles market ranges we work within:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| KraftMaid cabinet refacing (12 – 15 doors) | $4,720 – $15,340 |
| KraftMaid hinge replacement per door | $295 – $825 |
| KraftMaid island installation | $3,540 – $11,800 |
Exact pricing depends on the line, the condition of the boxes, and whether we’re sourcing OEM parts or machining custom pieces. You’ll get a written, line-item price before any work starts. Call (213) 632-5711 to schedule a free estimate.
