KraftMaid Construction in Fullerton, CA | Stallion Contractors
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and kitchen remodeling across Fullerton, from the Craftsman bungalows near downtown to the mid-century tracts in 92833 and 92835. What separates our KraftMaid work here is that we build for the city’s specific split: preservation review near the Fox Theatre block, and older-home code surprises everywhere else. Call (855) 600-3192 for a free estimate on KraftMaid cabinetry, counters, or a full kitchen gut.
Why Fullerton Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
We’ve torn enough kitchens apart in Fullerton to know what KraftMaid cabinets face in this city’s inland heat and in its specific housing stock. Ruben Montoya, our owner, grew up in Colton watching finish carpenters work, and he’s spent more than two decades learning what happens to cabinet boxes and finishes when homes age. That’s why we look at a KraftMaid job differently: we check for swollen sink bases before we quote a reface, and we know which Vantage door styles still hold their edges in a west-facing Fullerton kitchen. As an independent contractor, we’re not tied to any manufacturer’s sales line. We work on KraftMaid cabinets every week without factory authorization. That means the judgment on your cabinets is ours, not a brand rep’s. Serving the Fullerton service area means we’re close enough to show up fast and familiar enough with the housing stock to know what’s behind the walls before we open them.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Fullerton
- Lifting and peeling thermofoil doors. Older KraftMaid runs used thermofoil and laminate door faces that separate at the edges. Fullerton’s hot, dry basin and Santa Ana heat-cycling accelerate that failure hard, especially on south and west-facing kitchen runs. We replace the door fronts and, where the boxes are still square, we match the profile with OEM doors rather than letting one peeling cabinet drag down the whole kitchen.
- Swollen particleboard and MDF sink bases. In Fullerton’s 1950s-to-1970s tracts, an undersized or slow drain can leak quietly for years behind the cabinet face. By the time a homeowner opens the sink base, the box has lost its structural bite. We cut out the damaged base and set new plywood sink and dishwasher boxes under the existing layout.
- Worn drawer glides and sagging doors on original-fit KraftMaid. Post-war and mid-century Fullerton kitchens hold original hardware that’s outlasted its service interval. Stripped hinge-plate screws in aging box sides are the usual culprit. We re-seat the plates with filled holes, swap in OEM-matched hinges where KraftMaid still makes them, and use quality aftermarket soft-close glides when the original line is gone.
- Yellowed and split finishes on painted and glazed doors. Inland UV exposure is relentless here. Doors facing a Fullerton window that catches afternoon sun lose their color before anything else in the kitchen does. We replace the fronts and refinish where the glaze can’t be matched cleanly.
- Out-of-square boxes on older installations. Some Keller-era and early KraftMaid installs in Fullerton were never shimmed square at the time they went in. Years of door swing and racking later, the boxes drift. We’ll tell you straight whether re-squaring is worth the labor or whether the layout itself is the problem.
KraftMaid Service in Fullerton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Cabinets
Fullerton has two different remodeling realities, and they both shape how a KraftMaid kitchen job goes. Near the Downtown Fullerton Historic District, around the Fox Theatre block and Villa del Sol, a kitchen gut in an early-1900s Craftsman or Spanish Colonial can trigger preservation review before any exterior-linked scope moves. The cabinets themselves might be the easy part; the hassle comes when refinishing the kitchen means an exterior wall, window, or roofline detail has to pass the city’s historic review. Meanwhile, a mid-century tract kitchen in the 92833 flats opens up and hits knob-and-tube wiring and galvanized plumbing the moment the cabinets come off the wall. In downtown Fullerton, the review process is the variable. In the 92833, 92834, and 92835 tracts, the variable is what’s behind the drywall. KraftMaid cabinetry from the Vantage, Momentum, Fusion, and Deluxe lines has to work around both problems, and we plan for that before we start. Good work doesn’t need a sales pitch – it needs the right materials and someone who knows what they’re doing.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Fullerton
We work across the full KraftMaid range: Vantage series with its all-plywood boxes and full-overlay doors, Momentum and Momentum Pro, Fusion with its frameless full-access boxes, and the Deluxe line that shows up in a lot of Fullerton’s 1990s remodels. When a box is sound, we match OEM KraftMaid doors, drawer boxes, hinges, and glides. When the original line is discontinued, we source quality aftermarket soft-close hardware that matches the cabinet’s action without pretending to be something it isn’t. For KraftMaid sales & service, we’re your local independent option. We keep common replacement parts ordered and moving for Fullerton jobs, and if a box is swollen, out of square, or fighting the room’s layout, we tell you that too – refacing money is better spent on new cabinets in that case.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Fullerton
Yes, when the boxes are structurally sound and square, refacing is absolutely an option for a bungalow kitchen. In Fullerton’s early-1900s homes near downtown, refacing preserves the room’s original scale while updating the cabinet faces. But if the boxes have water damage, out-of-square racking, or the layout fights a small bungalow kitchen, we’ll suggest new cabinets instead. Call (855) 600-3192 and we’ll tell you which route makes sense for your kitchen.
Yes, sometimes. If your home is in the Downtown Fullerton Historic District near the Fox Theatre block, exterior-linked scope can trigger preservation review. And in Fullerton’s older tracts, opening a wall for cabinets often exposes knob-and-tube wiring or galvanized plumbing that requires permit work. We pull the permits for the entire remodel.
Older thermofoil runs can peel, and Fullerton’s hot, dry basin with Santa Ana heat-cycling makes it worse. South and west-facing cabinet faces take the hardest UV and heat load. If your thermofoil doors are lifting at the edges, we replace the fronts and match the profile while the boxes are still sound. Call (855) 600-3192 for an assessment.
Cabinet installation or refacing in Fullerton typically lands between $4,000 and $13,000. Countertop installation adds $2,000 – $6,500. A full kitchen remodel with KraftMaid cabinets ranges $14,000 – $45,000. The final number depends on the size of your kitchen, whether boxes can be saved, and what the walls reveal. Call (855) 600-3192 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
If the boxes are sound, repair usually wins. We re-seat stripped hinge-plate screws, swap in OEM-matched hinges where available, and install new glides. On a mid-century tract kitchen in the 92833 flats, we pulled original Vantage cabinets, found swollen sink-base MDF from a slow drip and knob-and-tube wiring behind the wall. We replaced the sink and dishwasher bases with new plywood, corrected the drain, and reset the countertops over the existing layout – the homeowner kept the cabinet look but got boxes that will not swell again. If the boxes themselves are swelling or out of square, replacement is the better spend. Call (855) 600-3192 and we’ll give you a straight answer.
