KraftMaid Construction in Tiburon, CA | Daly City Construction
We install, reface, and remodel with KraftMaid cabinetry across Tiburon, Belvedere, and nearby communities, and we do it as an independent contractor, not a manufacturer showroom. The thing that makes our KraftMaid work different here is simple: hillside homes with out-of-level floors, winter moisture, and strict design-review sequencing change how cabinets get specified, ordered, and installed. If you’re planning a KraftMaid kitchen in Tiburon, call (866) 505-5254 and we’ll talk about what your slope-built house actually needs.
Why Tiburon Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
We’ve put KraftMaid boxes into enough Tiburon kitchens to know where the product excels and where it needs extra attention. KraftMaid builds good cabinetry, especially in the Vantage and Deluxe lines, with all-plywood box construction on the Vantage series. But a cabinet is only as good as the floor it sits on and the wall it hangs from. Tiburon homes built into slopes from the 1950s through the 1980s rarely have level floors, and that’s where cheap installs fail.
Noel Cabrera, our owner at Daly City Construction, grew up in the Westlake district of Daly City watching houses get built in the same postwar tract-home wave. He trained in construction technology at City College of San Francisco and has spent years working on fog-weathered homes that need proper moisture barriers and structural attention, not just cosmetic fixes. That background matters when we scribe cabinet runs to a hillside floor that drops an inch and a half over eight feet. No shim stacks that fail in two years. No doors that bind. We build it right the first time because we’ve seen what happens when someone doesn’t.
We source genuine KraftMaid replacement doors, drawer fronts, and hardware when a repair needs to match an existing finish. When a box is beyond saving, we tell you straight. That’s the kind of honesty that matters when you’re spending real money on a kitchen in Tiburon.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Tiburon
Here’s what we see on service calls across Tiburon, 94920.
- Swollen door and drawer faces at the bottom edge. Hillside kitchens near deck doors pick up winter humidity and occasional moisture intrusion. KraftMaid doors with wood cores can swell where moisture wicks up from the floor or a damp deck threshold. We replace affected doors and address the moisture source before reinstalling.
- Particleboard-core box failures in older Vantage installs. A slow dishwasher or sink leak that goes unnoticed through wet Tiburon winters will break down particleboard cores. By the time you see it, the box has usually lost structural integrity. We replace compromised boxes with Deluxe-series all-plywood construction where it makes sense.
- Soft-close hinges and drawer glides failing on shimmed runs. When a cabinet run was originally shimmed onto an out-of-level hillside floor instead of properly scribed, the hinges and glides carry uneven load. They loosen, bind, and fail early. We fix the underlying level problem, not just the hardware.
- Finish checking and fading on west-facing kitchens. Tiburon homes with large bay-view windows get long dry-summer sun. Painted and stained KraftMaid doors in those kitchens fade or check over time. We match finishes for door replacement and can advise on UV considerations for a remodel.
- Layouts that fight the room. Some older Tiburon kitchens were built with cabinet layouts that never accounted for how hillside homes are actually used. We rework layouts during full kitchen remodels so the new KraftMaid run fits the room and the way you cook.
KraftMaid Service in Tiburon: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Tiburon construction is dominated by steep-hillside decks and hillside foundations, where every job becomes a retaining-wall and drainage engineering problem under strict Town of Tiburon hillside design review and proximity to the bay. Up on the hillside lanes above downtown, original redwood decks from the ’60s through the ’80s are a common failure point. When a kitchen project ties to a deck rebuild, the sequencing gets real: Town design review frequently requires replacement-in-kind deck and exterior details, which means your kitchen’s cabinetry dimensions and door styles often have to lock to an approved plan before a single KraftMaid box is ordered. Order too early and you own cabinets that don’t match the approved scope. Order too late and the kitchen waits on the deck permit. We’ve managed that scheduling knot enough times to know how it reshapes a project. It’s a Tiburon-specific problem. A flat-lot kitchen 20 miles south doesn’t deal with it.
Up on a winding lane above downtown, we took on a 1970s slope-built kitchen where the original KraftMaid Vantage boxes had swollen particleboard cores under a slow dishwasher leak and the soft-close glides had failed on a run shimmed over an out-of-level floor. We replaced the compromised boxes with KraftMaid Deluxe cabinets, scribed and shimmed the run properly, matched the door finish, and tied the new layout to the deck-replacement drawings already in Tiburon design review so the order and the permit moved together. That’s the difference between a cabinet installer and a contractor who understands how Tiburon works.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Tiburon
We install and service the full KraftMaid cabinet lineup you’re likely to have in a Tiburon home. KraftMaid sales & service through our team covers the Vantage series (entry-level, all-plywood box construction), the Deluxe series, and the Prelude series, plus Momentum and Momentum Foxboro door styles. If you have an older KraftMaid kitchen, we can identify the line, match the finish, and source genuine replacement doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. For soft-close glides and hinges where the OEM part is backordered, we use quality aftermarket hardware that fits and lasts. We also handle Tiburon service area requests for cabinet refacing, full kitchen design and layout, and kitchen remodeling. If the boxes are sound, we reface and re-hinge. If the cores are swelling or the layout is wrong for the room, we tell you replacement is the better spend.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Tiburon
Yes, in most cases. If the door and drawer fronts are intact and only the box cores have swollen, we replace the compromised boxes, re-hang the existing fronts, and match the finish. That’s a common repair in Tiburon hillside kitchens where slow leaks have gone unnoticed through wet winters. If the damage extends to the doors or the layout is already fighting the room, replacement may be the better spend. Call (866) 505-5254 and we’ll assess what’s salvageable.
Yes, frequently. If your kitchen project ties to a deck rebuild or exterior modification, Town of Tiburon design review often requires replacement-in-kind details, and cabinet dimensions and door styles may need to lock to an approved plan before cabinetry gets ordered. We sequence the permit and the cabinet order so they move together. Call (866) 505-5254 to talk through your project.
Yes, if the cabinet run is properly scribed and shimmed to the floor. The failures we see in Tiburon are almost always on runs that were shimmed as an afterthought, not scribed to the actual slope. When the cabinet base carries uneven load, hinges and glides loosen and fail early. We level the run correctly before installing hardware. Call (866) 505-5254 for an assessment.
If the boxes are sound, yes. Re-facing replaces doors, drawer fronts, and hardware while keeping the existing box structure. It’s a good fit when the cabinet layout works and only the finishes and hardware are tired. If the box cores are swelling or the layout needs reworking, full replacement with new KraftMaid cabinets is the better long-term spend. Call (866) 505-5254 to discuss your options.
Yes. We’re a full-scope general contractor, not just a cabinet installer. When a Tiburon kitchen project ties to a deck replacement, retaining-wall repair, or drainage upgrade, we handle it under one contract and one point of contact. That removes the coordination headache of juggling separate bids and timelines. Call (866) 505-5254 for a free estimate that covers the whole scope.
