KraftMaid Construction in Upland, CA | Gold Star Contractors
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and full kitchen remodeling across Upland, CA. What sets our work apart here: we treat the 91784 hillside and the 91786 flatland as two separate jobs, because they are. That means checking plumb against out-of-level framing on the north side and watching for slab moisture on the flatland before a single KraftMaid box goes up. Call us at (833) 382-8544 for a free estimate.
Why Upland Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
We’ve spent years working hands-on with KraftMaid cabinetry specifically. That’s the Vantage framed line, the Momentum full-access line, the Woodstar solid-wood door fronts, and the hardware that holds it all together. We know which slide mounts work loose after a few Inland Empire summers and which hinge plates hold. We are not affiliated with KraftMaid or any manufacturer. We’re an independent KraftMaid sales & service contractor, which means we recommend repair and refacing when it makes sense, not when a factory rep says so.
Noel Carranza runs our team in Upland. He grew up in Anaheim’s Platinum Triangle watching tract homes get renovated block by block, and that’s where he learned how buildings actually go together. He studied construction technology at Fullerton College and spent years doing concrete and finish carpentry before building this operation. One call, done right, that’s the only way he knows how to run a job.
If you’re in Upland service area and your KraftMaid cabinets are sagging, rattling, or just look tired, we’ll give you a straight answer on whether to reface or replace. Free estimates, written line-item quotes, and no change orders once the number is set.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Upland
- Sagging Momentum drawer fronts – Full-access KraftMaid Momentum boxes use undermount glides that work loose after years of thermal cycling in Upland’s hot-summer, Santa Ana wind climate. Drawer fronts sag and rub the adjoining cabinet face. We re-secure or replace the slide mounts and re-align the faces.
- Cracked Vantage door finish at rail-to-stile joints – Framed Vantage doors in century-old downtown Upland homes with no modern vapor control expand and contract hard when Santa Ana winds drive indoor humidity swings. The paint cracks first at the frame joints. We replace door fronts and re-hinge where the box is sound.
- Toe-kick and box moisture damage in 91786 flatland homes – Slab foundations in Upland’s flatlands wick groundwater during heavy winter storm runoff off the San Gabriels. Particleboard swells, finish blisters. We cut out damaged sections or reface where the carcass is still square.
- Racked doors in historic Euclid Avenue homes – Those Craftsmans and 1950s ranches along Euclid have settled for decades. KraftMaid stock boxes rack out of square and doors refuse to line up. We shim, re-square, and re-hang.
- Out-of-plumb installs on 91784 hillside lots – Alluvial fan soils on Upland’s north side mean steep lots, retaining walls, and framing that’s rarely level. We check every stud before hanging a single cabinet. A plumb KraftMaid box on an out-of-plumb wall will rack within the first year.
KraftMaid Service in Upland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Upland is really two construction zones. Up in 91784, homes sit on alluvial fan soils that shed water fast, and steep grading means retaining walls and drainage dictate how a kitchen lays out. Framing up there is often out of level by half an inch or more, so a KraftMaid kitchen in the hillside starts with plumb checks and shims before the first box goes up. Cabinet runs have to follow the wall, and when the wall isn’t square, we correct for it.
Down in 91786, the flatlands are all slab foundations and mid-century tract homes where squareness isn’t usually the issue. Moisture is. When winter storms dump water off the San Gabriels, groundwater wicks up through those slabs and hits the toe kicks and cabinet boxes. We see particleboard swelling and finish blisters on KraftMaid boxes in the flatlands that we rarely see on the hillside. Those two Uplands demand different crews, different prep, and different judgment. A KraftMaid install here is never a one-size job.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Upland
We work on the full KraftMaid lineup that’s likely in Upland homes: Vantage, the framed full-overlay entry line with classic American proportions. Momentum, the full-access European-style frameless line with those deep drawers and thin rail profiles. Woodstar and Select series solid-wood door fronts. And the quartz and laminate top packages KraftMaid pairs with its cabinet lines.
On parts, we source genuine KraftMaid replacement doors, drawer fronts, hinges, and glide hardware where the line is still supported. When OEM parts are discontinued or overpriced for the box, we use high-quality aftermarket slides and hinges. The rule is simple: on a sound KraftMaid box, we reface and re-hinge rather than tear out. We recommend full replacement only when the carcass has water damage or is too far out of square to correct.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Upland
Yes, refacing is usually the best option when the KraftMaid box is square and dry. We replace the door fronts, drawer fronts, hinges, and hardware, then set a new top if you want one. We only recommend full replacement when the carcass has water damage or is too far out of square to correct, unlike our San Antonio Heights KraftMaid service which handles similar cases. Call (833) 382-8544 and we’ll tell you which way to go on your specific kitchen.
Almost always. On Momentum full-access boxes, the undermount glide mounts work loose over time, especially with Upland’s heat swings, just as we see with KraftMaid service in Claremont. We re-secure or replace the slides and re-align the drawer fronts. It’s a repair, not a replacement job, in most cases. Call us at (833) 382-8544 for a free look at the hardware.
Yes, and this is the biggest thing most contractors miss in Upland. Hillside homes on alluvial fan soils have out-of-level framing that requires plumb checks and shims before hanging any box. Flatland slab homes need moisture checks at the toe kicks. One crew and one approach won’t do both correctly. Our team plans for which Upland you’re in before we start.
In most cases, yes. If your line is still supported, we get genuine KraftMaid doors, drawer fronts, and hinges that match, as we do for KraftMaid repair in Montclair. If the old finish has faded from Upland’s UV exposure, we’ll adjust the match so the new pieces don’t stand out. Call (833) 382-8544 and we’ll check what’s currently in your kitchen.
Cabinet installation alone typically runs $4,000 to $13,000, while a full KraftMaid kitchen remodel runs $14,000 to $45,000, comparable to our Rancho Cucamonga KraftMaid service pricing. A smaller kitchen refresh runs $9,000 to $20,000. Every home is different, so call (833) 382-8544 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
