KraftMaid Construction in Bloomington, CA | Sycamore Contractors
We provide independent KraftMaid kitchen and bath construction service across Bloomington, CA, including cabinet installation, refacing, and full kitchen remodels. What sets our KraftMaid work here apart is simple: we know how these cabinets hold up in Bloomington’s dry inland heat, and we know the San Bernardino County permit path that every project on these older self-built lots has to survive. If your KraftMaid doors are peeling, your drawers are racked, or you’re planning a new run, call Sycamore Contractors at (877) 265-6284 for a free in-home estimate. We’re not authorized or sponsored by KraftMaid. We’re just the crew that fixes and installs enough of their boxes to know exactly what they do in a hot, dry, unincorporated corner of the Inland Empire.
Why Bloomington Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
KraftMaid builds box cabinets and semi-custom door-and-drawer programs on engineered substrates, and our crew has installed and corrected enough of those runs to know how the boxes, drawer glides, hinges, and finishes hold up when the humidity stays low for months at a time. Bloomington sits east of the Cajon Pass, where summer heat gets serious and Santa Ana winds pull whatever moisture is left out of the air. That’s hard on cabinet door wraps and cheap hardware. It’s also why we spec OEM KraftMaid hinges and glides when they’re still available for the box line, and why we’re honest about whether refacing makes sense versus replacing a run that’s dried out past saving.
We know Bloomington’s housing stock. Much of it is older single-story stucco and self-built homes from the 1950s through the 1970s, with large lots and a lot of owner-built work that never got permitted. That matters for cabinet work because walls aren’t always where the county thinks they are. Nate Calloway, our owner, grew up in the Redhawk neighborhood of Temecula and has spent his career working on exactly this kind of house. As he puts it, “Do it right the first time, or you’ll do it twice in the July heat.” It’s not a slogan. It’s a schedule.
We’re an independent contractor, not an authorized KraftMaid dealer. Every recommendation we make is based on what we find inside your kitchen, not a dealer agreement. For the full scope of our KraftMaid sales & service work, we bring brand-name options across the board and one accountable team for the whole job.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Bloomington
Here’s what we see most often when we open up a KraftMaid kitchen in Bloomington:
- Thermofoil and laminate door fronts peeling at the edges. After enough dry summer heat and direct sun through east or west kitchen windows, the wrap lets go at the corners and edges. Bloomington’s low humidity accelerates it. We replace door and drawer faces with OEM-matched options where possible, or a quality aftermarket line when the original run is discontinued.
- Drawer glides and hinges loosening as fastener holes strip. Particleboard and MDF box seams dry out in low-humidity Inland Empire air, and then the screws have nothing to hold. We repair or replace the box sides, swap in fresh OEM glides, and often upgrade to soft-close hardware while we’re in there.
- Face frames and boxes pulling out of square. Older Bloomington homes often have out-of-plumb framing and unpermitted wall moves. When the box is racked because the wall behind it was never true, we address the framing first and then re-set the cabinets. Squaring new boxes onto a crooked wall just moves the problem down the line.
- Water damage at sink bases and dishwasher openings. Old supply lines and cabinet-mounted shutoffs from a 1960s or 1970s build eventually leak, and the cabinet base swells. We replace the damaged boxes, bring the shutoffs up to code, and then set the new run.
- Full remodel jobs that uncover unpermitted work. Bloomington has no city building department, so everything goes through San Bernardino County Land Use Services. When we open a wall and find an unpermitted addition or moved range wall, the project scope has to include legalizing that work before the cabinet install can be approved.
KraftMaid Service in Bloomington: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Bloomington is an unincorporated San Bernardino County island surrounded by Fontana, KraftMaid service in Rialto, and Colton. There is no city hall, no city building department, and no local permit office to walk into. Every KraftMaid kitchen or bath permit here runs through San Bernardino County Land Use Services, and on the older self-built and owner-built homes around the 92316 ZIP the county often requires unpermitted garages, conversions, or additions to be addressed on the plans before new cabinet and layout work is approved. That’s not a detail that shows up on a generic KraftMaid page. It’s the reason a cabinet swap in Bloomington can require a framing inspection, an electrical correction, and a county final before the doors ever go on. If you’re planning KraftMaid work in Bloomington, plan for the county. We do, on every job.
On a 1960s self-built home off Cedar Avenue in the 92316 ZIP, we opened a kitchen where an earlier owner had moved the range wall without a permit. The KraftMaid Vantage boxes were racked out of square and peeling at the door edges from years of summer heat. We squared and sistered the framing, pulled county permits through San Bernardino County Land Use Services to address the unpermitted wall change, then re-set and refaced the run with new OEM-matched doors and glides and topped it with quartz. The county signed off, and the doors finally close flush.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Bloomington
We work on the KraftMaid lines most common in Bloomington homes: Vantage with its all-plywood box construction and full-overlay doors, Momentum in both framed and frameless box lines, and the Deluxe and semi-custom Premier series. For parts, we use KraftMaid OEM hinges, glides, and touch-up finishes when they’re still available for the box line, and quality aftermarket hardware when OEM parts are discontinued or overpriced. We stock the common glide and hinge lines for faster turnaround on Bloomington service calls, and we tell homeowners straight when re-facing and new doors make sense versus when dried-out boxes and stripped fasteners mean the run should be replaced. We also handle Kitchen Design & Layout, Cabinet Installation & Refacing, and Quartz & Granite Countertops as one scope, so you’re not chasing three different contractors.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Bloomington
Yes, in most cases. Bloomington is unincorporated, so cabinet installs that change plumbing, electrical, or wall framing run through San Bernardino County Land Use Services. A straight box-for-box swap may not need one, but we’ll tell you up front what applies to your job. Call (877) 265-6284 and we’ll check the scope before you commit.
Usually yes, but the county may require the unpermitted conversion to be addressed on the plans before the kitchen work is approved. We handle that planning, pull the permits, and sequence the work so the county signs off on the whole thing. It adds time and sometimes scope, but it’s the only way to get a finaled inspection. Call (877) 265-6284 for a straight answer on your specific lot.
Peeling is almost always thermofoil or laminate delamination, accelerated by Bloomington’s dry summer heat and direct sun through east or west windows. The edges curl, then the wrap lets go. We replace the door and drawer faces with OEM-matched options when they exist, or a quality aftermarket line once the original run is discontinued.
Yes, when the boxes are still square and the fastener holes still hold. We re-face with new doors, drawer fronts, and veneer matched to the box line, and we replace the glides and hinges at the same time. If the boxes are dried out, racked, or water-swollen, we’ll tell you honestly that replacement is the better spend. Call (877) 265-6284 and we’ll assess the whole run.
Quartz is our standard recommendation for Bloomington. It handles the dry heat without the sealing maintenance granite requires, and it sits well on KraftMaid boxes when the run is level and square first. We install Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and we’ll price the slab as part of the same estimate. Call (877) 265-6284 for countertop options matched to your cabinet line.
