KraftMaid Construction in Anaheim, CA | Mason Remodeling
We’re Mason Remodeling, an independent Garden Grove Kraftmaid service crew working throughout Anaheim. The thing that sets our work apart here is simple: we know how KraftMaid cabinetry behaves inside Anaheim’s particular housing stock, especially the 1950s to 1970s tract homes where original cabinet openings were never built for modern appliances. We install, repair, and reface KraftMaid cabinets, and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts. Call (803) 680-2547 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Anaheim Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
KraftMaid has been building cabinets in Ohio since 1969, and we’ve spent years installing their Vantage, Prelude, Select Series, and Portrait lines in Anaheim kitchens. That hands-on time taught us what factory brochures don’t show you. Thermofoil on Vantage doors lifts in hot, dry summers. Prelude particleboard cores swell when hidden leaks go unnoticed. Our repair approach starts with the same question every time: can this cabinet be saved, or is it smarter to replace it? Isaac Pruett, our owner, grew up in the San Fernando Valley watching finish carpenters redo sloppy trim work, and he still checks every door reveal before he calls a job done. We’re not manufacturer-authorized, and we won’t pretend to be. We’re installers and repair techs who know these cabinets from the inside.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Anaheim
- Thermofoil peeling on Vantage cabinet doors. Anaheim’s summers push triple digits for weeks at a time, and that heat cycles through kitchen cabinets repeatedly. Thermofoil, which is a vinyl layer heat-bonded to the MDF door core, starts to lift and peel under those conditions. We replace the affected doors and can move to painted wood or higher-heat-tolerance finishes if the peeling is widespread.
- Particleboard core swelling in Prelude base cabinets. Slow leaks under the sink or from a dishwasher connection are the usual culprits, and by the time you see a bulging cabinet bottom, the core has been wicking water for months. We remove the damaged box, check the plumbing, and install a new cabinet or a plywood-core upgrade where the original spec failed.
- Drawer glide failure in older Select Series lines. KraftMaid used roller glides on many Select Series cabinets, and the factory lubricant dries out after ten or fifteen years. Drawers start binding, then get sticky, then stop closing. We replace them with soft-close undermount glides that carry more weight and close without slamming.
- Hinge screw pull-out in Portrait wall cabinets. Portrait cabinets are heavy, and when families load wall cabinets with stacked plates or canned goods, the hinge screws strip out of the particleboard. We epoxy-fill the original holes, redrill, and install longer screws with better bite, or swap to a reinforced hinge plate.
- Cabinet openings too small for modern appliances. This is the one problem that hits Anaheim harder than most cities. Tract homes built between the 1950s and 1970s were framed for 30-inch refrigerators and compact cooktops. A standard 36-inch refrigerator often doesn’t fit without reworking the cabinet run and sometimes the wall framing itself. We handle that reframing as part of the install.
KraftMaid Service in Anaheim: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing a generic cabinet guide won’t tell you. Anaheim’s core neighborhoods, from the Colony District north through the Palm Lane area and east toward the 57, contain thousands of 1950s to 1970s tract homes built around kitchen layouts that no longer match how people actually live. The original KraftMaid or builder-grade cabinets were framed for 30-inch refrigerators, single-basin sinks, and cooktops without vent hoods. When we do a General Contractor in Anaheim KraftMaid install, we’re rarely just hanging boxes on a wall. We’re reworking the utility stubouts, moving electrical for a microwave or hood, and sometimes reframing a section of wall so a full-depth refrigerator can sit flush. That’s different from neighboring cities with newer housing stock, where cabinet installs are more straightforward. We plan for it from the first walkthrough.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Anaheim
We service KraftMaid Vantage, Prelude, Select Series, and Portrait lines, including cabinet installation, refacing, door and drawer replacement, and full kitchen layout work. For parts, we order OEM KraftMaid replacement doors, drawer boxes, and glides whenever they’re available. When a part is discontinued, which happens with some older Select Series components, we use high-quality aftermarket hinges and slides that often outlast the originals. We carry a local inventory of common glide sizes, hinge plates, and touch-up materials so most Anaheim service calls don’t wait on a parts shipment. Our countertop work covers quartz, granite, and solid surface, and we partner with fabrication shops for Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone slabs.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Anaheim
Yes, in most cases. If your KraftMaid finish is still in production, we order OEM doors and drawer fronts in the same line and color code. For discontinued finishes, we work with a local Anaheim finishing shop that matches the stain or paint and applies it at the same sheen. The match isn’t always perfect on sun-faded doors, so we’re straight with you about whether replacing the full door set makes more sense. Call (803) 680-2547 for an exact quote.
Almost always. Sticking KraftMaid drawers are usually a glide problem, not a box problem. We replace the worn factory glides with soft-close undermount units, which changes the feel completely. If the drawer box itself has water damage or a cracked bottom, we can build a replacement box while keeping your existing face. The whole repair is typically done in one visit.
They do, and thermofoil is the finish most affected. Anaheim’s hot, dry summers plus occasional humidity spikes from coastal air cause the vinyl layer to expand and contract, which is exactly why we see Vantage thermofoil peeling more often here than in evenly mild climates. Painted and stained wood finishes hold up better, which is why we recommend them for Anaheim kitchens that get direct afternoon sun. A finish conversation is part of every quote we write.
Most KraftMaid cabinet installations in Anaheim take two to five working days, but the number moves based on what we find behind the old cabinets. If the original 1960s framing needs reworking for modern appliances, add a day or two. We’ll give you a schedule with your written estimate, and we stick to it.
Yes, and that’s a specialty of ours. Anaheim condo kitchens are often compact, with awkward corners and low ceilings. KraftMaid’s Vantage line has narrower base and wall cabinet options that fit tighter spaces. We measure every dimension, including door swing clearances and appliance openings, before we order anything. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll measure your kitchen for free.

In the Colony District, we handled our Bathroom Remodeling in Anaheim expertise alongside a 1960s kitchen where the original KraftMaid Prelude base cabinets had swollen from a slow leak under the sink. We replaced the damaged boxes with KraftMaid Vantage units, upgraded to soft-close glides, and set a Silestone quartz countertop to match the home’s mid-century character. Know who’s coming, know what it costs, know it’s backed up, everything else is just noise. Call (803) 680-2547 to schedule your free KraftMaid estimate in Anaheim.
