KraftMaid Construction in Sunnyvale, CA | San Bernardino Contractors
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and our Home Remodeling in Sunnyvale including full-kitchen construction, and we’re not a dealer or factory-authorized agent. What separates our KraftMaid work here is that we plan every box, door, and slide around Sunnyvale’s actual permitting triggers: single-story overlays, setback-driven window changes, and ADU-fueled re-layouts on mid-century lots. If you’re planning a KraftMaid kitchen in 94087, 94086, or anywhere in Sunnyvale, call (855) 473-5620 for a free estimate.
Why Sunnyvale Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
Most Sunnyvale General Contractor teams can order KraftMaid boxes. Fewer know which KraftMaid lines actually hold up in a 1960s ranch off Remington Drive versus a newer infill build near downtown. It matters more than homeowners expect. Vantage-series thermofoil doors behave differently than Momentum frameless boxes under direct afternoon sun, and we’ve pulled enough cabinets out of 1950s tract kitchens to know which failures come from the product and which ones come from the house. Our founder, Ruben Castillo, started his construction education watching his uncle reroof houses and frame garages in San Bernardino’s Westside, then formalized it at San Bernardino Valley College, where he learned load paths and structural honesty before he ever touched a cabinet order. That background shows up in how we inspect a Sunnyvale kitchen: we look at the floor’s level, the wall’s rack, the plumbing behind the base cabinets, and only then do we talk door styles and finish systems.
We’re a KraftMaid sales & service contractor who handles cabinet installation, refacing, kitchen remodeling, and layout design. When a KraftMaid box is sound, we treat it that way. When it’s not, we tell you before you spend money on new doors. That’s the difference between ordering cabinets and actually building a kitchen.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Sunnyvale
- Thermofoil and laminate door-skin delamination. Vantage-line thermofoil doors lift and peel at the edges. In Sunnyvale’s dry summers, west-facing kitchens in 94087 ranch remodels get direct heat cycling that pulls the skin loose faster than a shaded kitchen in Los Altos would. We replace affected doors or reface the entire run, matched to the surviving boxes.
- Swollen MDF and particleboard boxes. KraftMaid’s entry and mid-tier lines use composite box components. When a slab leak or winter rain intrusion reaches the base cabinets, those boxes swell and crumble at the seams. This happens regularly in 1950s-60s tract kitchens in 94086 where original copper or galvanized supply lines have finally failed behind the wall. We catch the water source first, then decide whether the box is worth saving.
- Racked Vantage frames and misaligned hinges. Framed Vantage cabinets rely on a square opening for clean door reveals. Out-of-level mid-century floors in Sunnyvale rack the frames, and after a remodel tear-out disturbs the framing, doors stop closing flush. We reset, shim, and re-align hinges, or pull the run and reinstall it square.
- Moisture blush and finish separation on painted and maple doors. Steam from dishwashers and unvented bathroom-adjacent walls leaves pale haze and joint separation on factory finishes. It’s common in small Sunnyvale kitchens where vent hoods were never added to the original 1960s build.
- Discontinued or overpriced OEM hardware. KraftMaid changes hardware suppliers over time. When a hinge or glide is discontinued or marked up, we match an aftermarket soft-close slide that fits the existing bore pattern. No waiting weeks for a part that costs triple what it should.
KraftMaid Service in Sunnyvale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Sunnyvale’s single-story overlay zones and its own ADU ordinance, paired with small mid-century lots concentrated in 94087, mean a second-story addition or detached ADU often forces a kitchen re-layout around new structural walls and setback-driven window changes. This is not something a contractor can assume from San Jose or KraftMaid in Cupertino rules. When structural walls move, so do the cabinet runs. A KraftMaid kitchen planned for the original footprint stops fitting, and homeowners end up with dead corner space, blocked window light, or a peninsula that interrupts the new sightline. We plan for that before the cabinets are ordered. KraftMaid’s Momentum frameless line is often the better fit here because full-access boxes squeeze more storage out of a re-laid footprint, which is exactly what you need when a shear wall eats eighteen inches of run. On a 1960s ranch off Murphy Avenue, our crew pulled a Vantage-line oak kitchen whose thermofoil uppers had peeled and whose base boxes had swollen from a slow supply-line leak, then re-framed the layout around a new shear wall for the owner’s second-story addition. We set new Momentum frameless uppers with soft-close glides, salvaged the sound lower boxes with fresh doors and roll-out trays, and finished before the winter rains returned. That’s Sunnyvale-specific cabinet work, not brand-copy work.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Sunnyvale
We work across the KraftMaid line: Vantage series framed cabinets in oak, maple, and thermofoil door styles, Momentum series full-access frameless boxes, Deluxe and Prelude semi-custom door lines, and the roll-out trays, pantry pull-outs, and interior accessories KraftMaid specs. For parts, we source genuine KraftMaid doors, drawer fronts, hinges, and accessories where the box is sound and the OEM part still exists. Where a hinge or glide is discontinued or priced unreasonably, we match aftermarket soft-close hardware that fits without redrilling every bore. For swollen or water-damaged boxes we recommend honestly, sometimes a partial reface beats a full replacement and we’ll tell you that before ordering anything.

AfterKraftMaid Service Pricing in Sunnyvale
KraftMaid construction pricing in Sunnyvale tracks the scope of the room, not just the cabinet line. A basic cabinet install runs one range; a full kitchen remodel with structural changes, new plumbing, and a re-laid footprint runs another. Here’s where our work lands:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 – $13,000 |
| Full Kitchen Remodeling | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Small Kitchen Remodel | $9,000 – $20,000 |
| Kitchen Island Installation | $3,000 – $10,000 |
| Backsplash Installation | $800 – $2,500 |
What drives the number is the condition of the existing boxes, whether walls move, and what finish level you choose. If it’s not built right the first time, you’re just paying for it twice. Call (855) 473-5620 and we’ll give you a written line-item estimate that matches your actual Sunnyvale kitchen instead of a generic square-footage guess.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Sunnyvale
No. We’re an independent KraftMaid installer and remodeler serving Sunnyvale. We’re not a dealer or factory-authorized agent, which means we recommend what works for your kitchen rather than what moves a quota. That independence matters when a specific KraftMaid finish keeps failing in Sunnyvale’s climate and we steer you toward a line that performs better here.
We find the moisture source first, because new cabinets installed over an active leak will fail the same way. Then we assess the box. If the MDF or particleboard is swollen at the base but the upper box is sound, we may replace the damaged components, seal the new material, and reface rather than tear out the entire run. If water has wicked up through the sides, the box comes out. Call (855) 473-5620 and we’ll inspect it in person.
For a straight cabinet swap with no structural work, plan on one to two days of install after materials arrive. When the job includes re-layout, wall movement, new plumbing, or electrical, that timeline extends based on the permits and inspections Sunnyvale requires. We’ll give you a schedule before we start, and it holds unless the city adds a surprise review.
Vantage series framed cabinets, Momentum frameless boxes, Deluxe and Prelude door lines, and the standard interior accessories like roll-out trays and pantry pull-outs. If you have an older KraftMaid kitchen and you’re not sure what line it is, send us photos from your phone. We can usually ID the door style from the hinge bore and the face frame.
Water damage behind the base cabinets. In older 94086 and 94087 tract homes, the original copper or galvanized supply lines are often at the end of their life, and when they finally fail, they fail inside the wall behind the sink run. The repair adds plumbing work that wasn’t in the original quote. We budget for that possibility up front based on the home’s age and visible plumbing condition. Call (855) 473-5620 for a free estimate and we’ll flag it before you commit.
