KraftMaid Construction in San Bernardino, CA | Sycamore Contractors
We install, reface, and rebuild KraftMaid cabinetry across San Bernardino as an independent San Bernardino General Contractor, not a factory-authorized dealer. What makes our work different here is that we’ve seen how this city’s dry Santa Ana winds and split housing stock, from century-old downtown bungalows to 1960s tract homes, stress KraftMaid boxes and doors in ways you won’t find in coastal Inland Empire cities. Call (877) 265-6284 for a free estimate on KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, or a full kitchen remodel in San Bernardino.
Why San Bernardino Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
Nate Calloway, our owner, grew up in Temecula’s Redhawk neighborhood and spent close to two decades running crews across the Inland Empire before founding Sycamore Contractors. He’s pulled apart enough KraftMaid Vantage and Deluxe cabinets to know exactly where the line holds up and where it gives out under San Bernardino’s triple-digit summers. We match OEM KraftMaid doors, drawer fronts, and hinges when the box is still sound, and we use quality aftermarket soft-close glides where the OEM part has been discontinued or priced beyond reason. When a cabinet box has swollen from a plumbing leak or racked out of square in an old pier-and-beam bungalow, we tell you straight: refacing won’t fix it, and a rebuild is the honest call. Our KraftMaid sales & service work spans everything from single-door replacements to full kitchen builds.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in San Bernardino
- Thermofoil and laminate door peeling. Years of dry heat and near-zero rainfall in San Bernardino pull moisture from the adhesive layer, and the door skins delaminate at the edges. It’s most common on KraftMaid Vantage cabinets from the 1990s and early 2000s.
- Swollen particleboard and MDF boxes around sinks and dishwashers. Many San Bernardino tract homes still run original galvanized plumbing, and when it leaks slowly into the cabinet base, the box crumbles. Plywood replacement boxes solve this permanently.
- Drawer glides and hinges loosening as wood shrinks. The same dry air that cracks stucco also shrinks maple and oak stiles on KraftMaid Deluxe and Wyndham doors, which loosens screw holes and causes sagging drawers and misaligned doors.
- Racked and out-of-square cabinet boxes in downtown bungalows. The 1900s-1940s wood-frame homes in 92401 and 92410 sit on pier-and-beam floors that shift seasonally. KraftMaid cabinets installed against those walls rack out of plumb, so doors rub no matter how you adjust the hinges.
- Foothill remodels that trigger Chapter 7A code requirements. If a kitchen rebuild in 92404 or 92407 touches an exterior wall, San Bernardino’s wildland-urban interface rules may require ignition-resistant materials, and that changes how we frame and flash the cabinet run.
KraftMaid Service in San Bernardino: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something that matters if you own KraftMaid cabinets in San Bernardino specifically: the Santa Ana and mountain-descent winds that funnel down through the Cajon Pass don’t just dry out landscaping. They pull moisture from wood framing and cabinet components at a rate you won’t see in Temecula or Murrieta. Maple and oak stiles shrink, seams open, and hinge screws lose their bite within a few seasons. Add in the foothill-edge reality of 92404 and 92407, where any remodel touching an exterior wall has to clear Chapter 7A wildland-urban interface rules for ignition-resistant materials, and a kitchen rebuild here isn’t the same job as a kitchen rebuild a few miles west near the 215. We plan for both: cabinet boxes built with plywood rather than particleboard where moisture resistance matters, and code-compliant framing details on any exterior wall the cabinets tie into. San Bernardino service area work is all we do, so we don’t guess at these conditions.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in San Bernardino
We work on the KraftMaid Vantage series, the builder-tier line most common in post-WWII and 1960s-70s tracts across 92404 and 92405, along with KraftMaid in Rialto and nearby areas, plus KraftMaid Deluxe full-overlay doors in maple and oak finishes, and Wyndham and Charleston raised-panel styles from 1990s-2000s remodels. We also service frameless and partial-overlay KraftMaid cabinets found in older downtown San Bernardino bungalows. Where the box is sound, we match OEM doors and drawer fronts. Where OEM parts are discontinued, we use quality aftermarket soft-close glides and hinges. For San Bernardino jobs, we stock the most common KraftMaid hinge patterns and door profiles locally so turnaround doesn’t drag out.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in San Bernardino
Is Sycamore Contractors an authorized KraftMaid dealer? No, we’re an independent general contractor serving San Bernardino and providing KraftMaid repair in Loma Linda. We install, reface, and rebuild KraftMaid cabinetry, and we can source OEM parts, but we’re not a factory-authorized dealer or representative. That independence means we recommend what’s right for your kitchen, not what a showroom quota says to push.
Why do KraftMaid thermofoil doors peel in San Bernardino? Thermofoil doors peel here because the dry heat and near-zero rainfall pull moisture from the adhesive layer between the foil skin and the MDF core. After 15 or 20 years of triple-digit summers, the edges delaminate. Once peeling starts, it doesn’t stop, and the fix is either refacing with paint-grade wood doors or replacing the door fronts outright. Call (877) 265-6284 and we’ll tell you which makes sense for your kitchen.
Can my downtown San Bernardino bungalow kitchen take new KraftMaid cabinets? Yes, but the subfloor matters. The 1900s-1940s wood-frame bungalows in 92401 and 92410 sit on pier-and-beam foundations that shift, so we check the floor for level and the wall for plumb before any cabinet run goes in. In most cases we add blocking or shim the base to keep the cabinet boxes square so the doors don’t rack.
Do foothill kitchen remodels in 92404 and 92407 need Chapter 7A materials? If the remodel touches an exterior wall, yes, often. San Bernardino’s wildland-urban interface rules for 92404 and 92407 foothill neighborhoods require ignition-resistant materials on exterior-facing assemblies. That can change how we frame a cabinet wall that backs onto the exterior. We scope this during the estimate, not after demo starts. For an exact quote on your kitchen, call (877) 265-6284.
Should I reface or replace my failing KraftMaid cabinets? Refacing works when the boxes are square, dry, and structurally sound, and all you need is new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. Replacement is the right call when the boxes have swollen from water damage, racked out of square, or the particleboard has crumbled. We’ll tell you which one you actually need after we’ve opened things up and looked. Estimates are free, so there’s no downside to finding out.
