KraftMaid Construction in Ontario, CA | Stallion Contractors
We’re Stallion Contractors, and we provide independent KraftMaid construction, installation, and repair service across Ontario.

Ruben Montoya leads our team, and he’s spent his career working the Inland Empire’s specific housing stock, so nothing about your Ontario kitchen surprises us. Call (855) 600-3192 for a free estimate on KraftMaid work anywhere in Ontario.
Why Ontario Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
KraftMaid cabinets are built well, but the way they hold up in Ontario depends heavily on who installs them and how they’re serviced afterward. We’ve installed and reworked enough KraftMaid cabinetry across the Inland Empire to know how the Vantage, Momentum, and Chatham lines actually behave in this climate, including through our San Antonio Heights KraftMaid service. That knowledge comes from thousands of install hours, not a certification. We are an independent contractor, with no affiliation with or authorization from KraftMaid. What we do have is direct, daily experience with this brand inside Ontario’s mid-century homes.
Ruben grew up in Colton, not far from Pepper Avenue, where half the houses on his block were built by tradesmen who knew the Inland Empire soil and sun better than anyone. He picked up his construction foundation at San Bernardino Valley College, where the hands-on programs put him on job sites before he ever had a business card. His father was a finish carpenter, and that’s partly why Ruben still pays more attention to the final ten percent of a job than most contractors pay to the first ninety. Our KraftMaid sales & service work is handled by people who treat your cabinetry like their own.
When you call us for KraftMaid work in Ontario, you get our General Contractor in Ontario who pulls permits when required, passes inspections, keeps the site clean under AQMD rules, and stands behind the finished work with a written scope and fixed pricing. One contractor, every trade. Your project managed start to finish.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Ontario
- Painted finish checking and flaking: KraftMaid Chatham and Heirloom painted finishes can check along door stiles and drawer fronts after years of hot, dry Ontario summers and low indoor humidity. We see it regularly in 1960s tract homes where owners run central AC hard for months. We touch up, re-lacquer, or replace affected doors and fronts, then set the room’s humidity baseline so it doesn’t recur as fast.
- Water-softened base cabinets: Many Ontario homes from the 1950s-1970s still run original galvanized plumbing. When a slow drain leak develops under the sink, KraftMaid MDF-core base cabinets at the toe kick and under-sink bay soften and swell. We cut out failed sections, reset new KraftMaid boxes on a plumb reference, and flag the plumbing issue before it takes out another cabinet.
- Hinge and drawer glide drift: Soft-close hinges and drawer glides on KraftMaid Vantage cabinets lose adjustment or fail outright in high-use Ontario rental and infill apartments. Repeated slamming from tenants and heavy cookware loads knock them out of spec. We replace with KraftMaid OEM hinges and glides, or quality aftermarket hardware when OEM parts are discontinued.
- Sagging shelves and box joinery failure: When KraftMaid cabinets were installed against out-of-plumb mid-century framing that was never corrected during a prior remodel, the boxes carry uneven load. Over time, shelf pins wallow out and box joinery starts to open. Ontario tract homes are full of this. We correct the framing reference first, then re-set or re-box.
- Discontinued finish matching: Owners with 1990s-2000s KraftMaid Select or Waypoint-grade kitchen refits often can’t find matching doors or drawer fronts when a few pieces fail. We match existing door styles and finishes, source OEM replacements where available, and when they’re not, we use quality aftermarket doors that blend cleanly with the original layout.
KraftMaid Service in Ontario: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Cabinets
Ontario sits in the semi-arid Inland Empire, which means your KraftMaid cabinets live in a climate of hot, dry summers and Santa Ana wind events that drive dust into every seam. But the bigger issue for cabinet work here isn’t just the weather. It’s the city’s older housing stock and the way it settles. Most Ontario homes are mid-century tract builds from the 1950s through the 1970s, with framing that’s rarely plumb and plumbing that’s often at the end of its service life. We’ve worked in neighborhoods off Grove Avenue in the 91761 and 91762 ZIP codes, as well as through our KraftMaid service in Chino, where the original slab foundations have moved enough to throw every base cabinet out of level.
And there’s the dust. Ontario is a fast-growing logistics hub, and construction work here is dominated by the constant build-out of warehouses and distribution centers, along with the suburban infill housing that supports that workforce. All of it operates under the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s strict dust-control rules. Grading or demolition in Ontario triggers AQMD Rule 403 requirements, and that includes a kitchen cabinet tear-out, not just site grading. We run water suppression and soil stabilization on even small Ontario residential jobs, because the rule is enforced and the fines are real. Out-of-area builders often miss this step. We don’t.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Ontario
We work on the full KraftMaid lineup that shows up in Ontario kitchens. That includes the Vantage series, with its standard all-plywood box and painted or stained finishes, the Momentum series with full-overlay doors and soft-close hardware, and the Chatham and Heirloom painted lines that have been spec’d into Ontario tract refits for years. We also handle KraftMaid Select and Waypoint-grade entry cabinetry, which is common in 1990s-2000s Ontario kitchen remodels.
Our parts approach is straightforward. We use KraftMaid OEM hinges, glides, touch-up, and door replacements where the box and finish are sound. When an OEM part is discontinued on older lines, we use quality aftermarket hardware that matches the existing spec. On 1980s-1990s KraftMaid boxes with failing particleboard or water-damaged bases in Ontario tract homes, we tell owners honestly when a partial rebox or reface beats another round of repairs. Good work doesn’t need a sales pitch, it needs the right materials and someone who knows what they’re doing.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Ontario
Yes. We match KraftMaid door styles and finishes, including Chatham and Heirloom painted lines, by referencing the original door profile and finish code, then sourcing OEM replacements where KraftMaid still carries the line. When the line is discontinued, we use quality aftermarket doors that blend with the existing layout. On a Chatham-finish KraftMaid kitchen in a 1960s tract off Grove Avenue, our tech found the base cabinets under the sink soft from a slow galvanized drain leak and the painted doors checking from the dry summer heat. We cut out the failed bases, reset new KraftMaid boxes on a plumb reference, matched replacement doors and drawer fronts to the existing Chatham finish, and reused the sound uppers with new OEM hinges and glides. The homeowner got a matched, water-tight kitchen without a full tear-out. Call (855) 600-3192 and bring us a photo of your doors.
Yes. AQMD Rule 403 applies to any demolition work in Ontario that generates visible dust, including a kitchen cabinet tear-out in a residential home. Rule 403 requires dust suppression like water misting and covering or stabilizing disturbed soil, even on single-kitchen jobs. We run water suppression on every Ontario tear-out we do, not just grading work. It’s a compliance step that surprises out-of-area builders but is standard practice for any local contractor who wants to keep the site and the neighborhood clean. Call
It’s usually the house. Ontario tract homes from the 1950s-1970s have framing and slabs that shift over time, and out-of-plumb walls and unlevel floors throw cabinet boxes out of square. When the box rack is out, hinges and door alignment follow. We check the wall and floor reference first, shim or correct the framing as needed, then re-set the boxes and adjust the hinges so the doors close clean. If the boxes are sound, this is a repair, not a replacement. Call (855) 600-3192 and we’ll tell you what’s cabinet versus what’s house.
With proper installation and no water exposure, KraftMaid all-plywood Vantage boxes can realistically serve 20 to 30 years in Ontario’s dry climate. Painted finishes on Chatham and Heirloom lines tend to check or flake sooner here, often in the 10-to-15-year range, because of the hot, dry summers and low indoor humidity when AC runs constantly. The variable that kills cabinets fastest in Ontario isn’t the heat. It’s slow plumbing leaks from aging galvanized supply and drain lines in 1950s-1970s tract homes. Water-softened particleboard or MDF bases fail long before the rest of the cabinet would. Call (855) 600-3192 and we’ll give you an honest lifespan read on your existing boxes.
Yes, if the boxes are sound and square. Refacing works well on KraftMaid all-plywood Vantage and Momentum boxes that aren’t water-damaged and where the existing layout still works for the kitchen. We replace doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, and apply matching veneer or paint to the face frames. If the boxes have failed joinery or water-softened bases, refacing won’t fix the underlying problem, and we’ll tell you that upfront. Refacing in Ontario typically runs less than a full replacement, but the exact number depends on door count, finish choice, and hardware. Call (855) 600-3192 for a refacing versus replacement quote.
