KraftMaid Construction in Upland, CA | Stallion Contractors
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and full kitchen remodeling across Upland’s three ZIP codes: 91784, 91785, and 91786. What makes our KraftMaid work different here is simple: we’ve installed and refaced these cabinets in everything from 1920s downtown bungalows to 1980s foothill customs, so we know how KraftMaid boxes, doors, and finishes hold up against Upland’s dry heat and Santa Ana winds. We’re not a KraftMaid-authorized dealer, which means our repair-vs-replace advice carries no manufacturer bias. Call (855) 600-3192 for a free estimate on any KraftMaid project in Upland.
Why Upland Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
KraftMaid cabinets show up all over Upland, and the issues we see repeat by neighborhood. Downtown and central Upland homes, mostly 1920s to 1960s ranch and bungalow stock, hold decades-old KraftMaid slab and raised-panel doors that have cycled through fifty or sixty Inland Empire summers. North Upland’s 91784 foothill homes from the 1970s through 1990s have newer KraftMaid lines, like Vantage and Insight, facing a different set of stresses: slope movement, wildfire-conscious remodeling requirements, and intense west-facing sun exposure.
Ruben Montoya, owner of Stallion Contractors, grew up in Colton and trained at San Bernardino Valley College, where the construction programs put him on job sites before he ever handed out a business card. He’s spent more than two decades working Inland Empire homes, and that experience shapes how our crew handles every KraftMaid job. When we open a cabinet box in Upland, we already know what the dry heat has done to the drawer runners, the hinges, and the finish. That’s the difference between guessing and knowing.
We carry OEM KraftMaid doors, drawer fronts, and hardware when the cabinet box is solid, and we specify quality aftermarket soft-close hinges and heavy-duty runners when the original hardware fails or goes on backorder. Our KraftMaid sales & service work across the Inland Empire has taught us one thing: homeowners want straight answers about whether to repair, reface, or replace. We give them those answers with itemized costs.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Upland
- Thermofoil door delamination on Vantage and Deluxe lines. Inland heat and dry Santa Ana winds accelerate peeling at the edges, especially on cabinet faces near ovens and west-facing windows. We see this constantly in Upland’s mid-century ranch homes where original single-pane windows bake cabinet faces every afternoon. The fix is usually OEM replacement doors, not a full cabinet replacement.
- Drawer box corner joint separation and runner wear. Older KraftMaid slab doors in downtown bungalows have lived through decades of dry heat cycling. Corner joints loosen, runners wear out, and drawers start sticking or sagging. If the box is still square, we rebuild or replace the runners and re-glue the joints. If the box has started to pull apart, refacing won’t save it.
- Finish fading and checking on stained maple and oak doors. UV exposure through single-pane windows fades finishes unevenly, leaving kitchen doors that look blotchy or washed out on one side. This is common in Upland’s 1950s and 1960s ranch homes where kitchens face south or west. We can refinish, reface, or replace depending on how far the fading goes.
- Hinge screw pull-out and sagging doors in particleboard boxes. North Upland hillside homes in 91784 see seasonal humidity swings, from bone-dry summers to winter rains that make framing and cabinets move. Hinges pull out of particleboard, doors sag, and gaps open up. We repair or replace hinge plates, upgrade to soft-close hardware, and re-align doors so they close clean.
- Undersized or dated cabinet layouts in tight downtown kitchens. Many Upland bungalows were built with small galley kitchens and minimal cabinet storage. When homeowners want to stay in the house, we reface existing KraftMaid boxes and add matching new cabinets, islands, or pantry units that work with the original footprint.
KraftMaid Service in Upland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what nobody tells you about Upland’s two-tier housing stock until a plan checker brings it up. In north Upland’s 91784 foothill zone, fire-hazard and slope review can mean even a cabinet refacing job requires updated plans if the kitchen is part of a larger addition. A flat downtown lot on a 40-foot frontage never sees that. Two jobs a mile apart can have completely different plan-check paths. If you own a KraftMaid kitchen in the foothills above Mountain Avenue or anywhere near the canyon-adjacent lots, and you’re planning any remodel that touches the kitchen footprint, we factor the fire-zone review into your timeline and your budget before we quote the cabinets. We’ve walked multiple Upland projects through this exact process, including a 1980s KraftMaid Vantage kitchen off Mountain Avenue in 91784 where several thermofoil doors had delaminated from years of dry heat and sun through a west-facing window. We replaced the failed doors with OEM matching fronts, upgraded the hinges to soft-close, and installed a new quartz countertop. The homeowner kept the solid cabinet boxes and saved significantly over a full gut remodel. That’s the kind of decision Upland’s older housing stock forces you to make, and we help you make it with real numbers on both sides.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Upland
Our crew works on all four major KraftMaid cabinet lines found in Upland homes: Vantage, Deluxe, Insight, and Vista. The Vantage and Deluxe lines show up most often in foothill homes built from the 1980s onward, while Insight and Vista appear in more recent remodels across Upland’s central and north neighborhoods. When a door or drawer front fails, we source OEM KraftMaid parts to match the existing finish and door profile. When OEM hardware is the weak point, we specify aftermarket soft-close hinges and heavy-duty runners from trade-grade brands we trust. We keep common replacement parts and hardware stocked for fast turnaround on Upland jobs, which means less waiting when a hinge fails or a drawer slide gives out. If a cabinet box is swollen or delaminated beyond the door, we recommend full replacement, not refacing. We’ll show you both options with honest costs and let you decide.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Upland
Yes. We source OEM KraftMaid doors and drawer fronts in the same style and finish as your existing cabinets, so a few damaged doors don’t force you into a full refacing job. This works best on Vantage, Deluxe, Insight, and Vista lines where the original door profile is still available from KraftMaid. If your finish has faded unevenly from Upland sun exposure, we may recommend refinishing the surrounding doors so everything reads consistent. Call (855) 600-3192 for a matching assessment.
Usually not. Peeling thermofoil on Vantage or Deluxe doors means the door faces have failed, not necessarily the cabinet boxes. If the boxes are square and dry, we replace the doors with OEM fronts and you keep the cabinet structure. If the boxes are swollen or delaminated from moisture or heat cycles, replacement is the honest call. We’ll show you both options with prices before any work starts.
Yes, if your home sits in the 91784 foothill zone where fire-hazard and slope review applies. Even a cabinet refacing job can require updated plans if the kitchen is part of a larger addition or footprint change. A flat downtown lot won’t face that. We factor plan-check requirements into your timeline and quote before we start, so there are no surprises. Call (855) 600-3192 and we’ll walk you through what your specific address triggers.
Dry heat and Santa Ana winds dry out wood and laminate finishes, causing checking, fading, and thermofoil edge peeling. Cabinet faces near ovens and west-facing windows show it first. Homes with single-pane windows in Upland’s mid-century ranch stock see the worst of it. We see this pattern repeat block by block, and we account for it when recommending whether to refinish, reface, or replace.
Yes. We order new KraftMaid island cabinets in the same door style and finish as your existing boxes, then install and align them to the surrounding cabinetry. We also handle the countertop, whether you want quartz, granite, or a matching laminate. If your existing cabinets are an older model line, we’ll match as closely as the current KraftMaid catalog allows and flag any finish variance before you commit.
