KraftMaid Construction in Bloomington, CA | Alder Contractors
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and repair across Bloomington through our General Contractor in Bloomington, and we tell you before we start whether your cabinets need rebuild-level work or just new doors and hardware. The thing that makes our KraftMaid work different here is simple: too many Bloomington kitchens sit in rooms that were never legally converted or added, and no cabinet line on earth survives a compromised slab. Call (833) 467-7020 for a free on-site estimate that starts with the room itself, not the cabinet catalog.
Why Bloomington Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
We’ve installed and refaced enough KraftMaid cabinetry in the Inland Empire to know its door styles, box construction, and drawer guide hardware by sight. A 1990s KraftMaid oak raised-panel door with the telltale checking on the west wall is familiar territory. The same goes for a Momentum full-access drawer that’s dragging because the box racked when a prior owner cut a load-bearing wall. Nelson Ibarra, our owner, grew up along the Willow Avenue corridor in Rialto and has spent nearly three decades working on homes like the ones here. He learned framing and building technology at Chaffey College, then spent years on exactly the kind of single-story stucco tract homes that make up most of Bloomington. When we quote you, it’s a conversation, not a sales script.
We’re an independent contractor, not authorized or sponsored by KraftMaid sales & service corporate. Our loyalty is to the fit of your kitchen, not a dealer program. That’s why you’ll hear us recommend a rebuild over a reface when the boxes are gone, even though refacing costs less up front. Do it right the first time, the callback always costs more than the extra hour up front.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Bloomington
- Peeling and yellowing painted doors on south- and west-facing walls. Bloomington’s summer highs routinely exceed 100°F, and Santa Ana winds push dust and grit into every gap. Older KraftMaid painted and glazed finishes from the 2000s fail early under that kind of direct sun load, especially on kitchen walls facing the afternoon heat. We replace or refinish with materials matched to our Inland Empire conditions.
- Swollen and crumbling MDF box sides from slab moisture. If a prior owner converted a garage and poured a slab without a vapor barrier, the cabinet bottoms wick damp constantly. We’ve pulled KraftMaid boxes that looked fine from the outside but had particleboard sides disintegrating behind the toe kick. No new door fixes that box.
- Drawer glides and hinges loosening on Vantage and Momentum boxes. Bloomington homes from the 1950s through the 1970s often have out-of-level floors and unpermitted structural changes that cause cabinet boxes to rack. Screws back out of the box sides over time. We refasten into proper blocking and, where needed, re-level the base before reinstalling hardware.
- Full-height pantry cabinets out of square against stucco walls. Self-built additions along the Valley Boulevard corridor were often never furred or flashed correctly. When we level a KraftMaid run against a wall that’s not plumb, doors rub, reveals open unevenly, and the top cabinets pull away. We fix the wall plane first, then set the cabinets.
- Previous refacing jobs that didn’t address the underlying box damage. We see it regularly: a homeowner paid for new doors over swollen or racked KraftMaid boxes, and two years later the doors are crooked and the drawer fronts are misaligned. Refacing a failing box is throwing money at a structural problem. We’ll tell you that before you spend another dollar.
KraftMaid Service in Bloomington: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
East of the 15 along Valley Boulevard, a kitchen tear-out routinely uncovers a garage conversion or an added room done without county permits. This is not an occasional surprise; it’s the single most common condition we encounter on KraftMaid jobs in Bloomington. The permitting runs through San Bernardino County Land Use Services, not a city building department, and many older lots are nonconforming, which means the room itself may need legalization and an as-built inspection before any cabinet work can proceed. On a Valley Boulevard corridor house near Pedley (ZIP 92316), our crew pulled a 1990s KraftMaid oak raised-panel kitchen and found the dining room was actually a converted garage with no permit on record. The cabinet boxes were sitting on a slab that had never been vapor-sealed. We stabilized and legalized the floor plan through San Bernardino County Land Use Services first, then set new KraftMaid Momentum boxes on a leveled, moisture-blocked subfloor with quartz tops. The homeowner got working drawers and a clean inspection sheet instead of another layer of refacing over rotting boxes.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Bloomington
We work on the KraftMaid lines most common in Bloomington’s housing stock. That includes the Vantage series, a semi-custom framed cabinet, and the Momentum series, a full-access frameless box. We also service the maple and oak raised-panel doors that were everywhere in 1990s and 2000s tract kitchens, and the painted or glazed finish doors from earlier remodels. Where the finish and box style are still available, we source genuine KraftMaid replacement doors, drawer fronts, and hinges. Where OEM parts are discontinued, we match quality aftermarket soft-close glides and slides. If a box is swollen or racked from a bad addition, we say so plainly and recommend a rebuild. That’s the honest call.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Bloomington
Yes, but only after the room clears San Bernardino County Land Use Services legalization and as-built inspection. Refacing over a kitchen in an unpermitted conversion means spending money on a room that may have code and structural problems we’d be papering over. We handle the legalization first, then reface the cabinets. Call (833) 467-7020 for an exact scope and estimate.
Direct afternoon sun and Santa Ana wind-driven dust on a west- or south-facing wall will bake and abrade older painted and glazed finishes. Bloomington summers stay over 100°F for weeks, and that heat load is concentrated on whichever wall catches the sun longest. We repair those doors with finishes matched to our Inland Empire weather, or replace them outright if the underlying wood has checked.
We install both lines new, and we reface or repair existing Vantage and Momentum boxes. Momentum’s full-access frameless design and Vantage’s semi-custom framed boxes are both in regular rotation on our Bloomington jobs. We spec the line based on your kitchen layout, wall conditions, and budget.
Often, yes. Older Bloomington lots are regularly nonconforming under current San Bernardino County zoning, and a remodel can trigger review for setbacks, lot coverage, or building code compliance before cabinets and finishes go in. We’ve worked through enough Land Use Services filings here to know which projects sail through and which need a variance discussion first.
Cabinet installation in Bloomington typically lands between $4,000 and $13,000, depending on run length, box style, and whether we’re correcting wall plane or floor level issues. A full kitchen remodel with KraftMaid cabinets, counters, and backsplash ranges from $14,000 to $45,000. Exact numbers require an on-site visit. Call (833) 467-7020 for a free, line-item estimate.
