KraftMaid Construction in Mountain View, CA | Daly City Construction
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and repair across Mountain View, from Cuesta Park Eichlers to newer North Bayshore builds. The one thing that makes our KraftMaid work here different is that we know how mid-century plaster-and-lath walls and a design-review-heavy permit office change the way cabinets get hung, leveled, and inspected. Daly City Construction carries the full KraftMaid catalog from Vantage plywood-box runs to Prelude budget lines, and we spec what actually fits your Mountain View home. Call (866) 505-5254 for a free estimate.
Why Mountain View Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
We’ve installed and retrofitted KraftMaid cabinetry across hundreds of Bay Area kitchens, from full plywood-box maple runs to quick reface jobs on 1990s oak fronts. That means we know the line’s door styles, box construction, and hinge hardware firsthand, not from a catalog. Because we’re independent, we can spec the right KraftMaid door and finish for your layout without steering you toward whatever a dealer is pushing that quarter. Noel Cabrera, our owner, grew up in Daly City’s Westlake district and trained in construction technology at City College of San Francisco before putting in years on residential jobs across San Mateo and San Francisco counties. He’s pulled enough cabinet runs off fog-weathered walls to know that what holds a box in Mountain View is different from what holds one in Daly City. For full KraftMaid sales & service, our team covers every ZIP from 94040 through 94043.
We stock OEM KraftMaid door fronts, hinges, and drawer boxes for active and recently-discontinued lines, which keeps turnaround tight for Mountain View homeowners who don’t want a kitchen torn apart for weeks. When a part is truly gone from the KraftMaid system, we use quality aftermarket glides and levelers, and we tell you which is which before any work starts.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Mountain View
- Sagging or racked wall cabinets pulled loose from plaster-and-lath walls. Mountain View’s 1950s and 1960s homes often have original plaster over wood lath, and after decades of slab settle or seismic movement, the substrate behind a kitchen wall cabinet is no longer flat or solid. We open the wall, add blocking, and rehang the KraftMaid run so it sits level and stays put.
- Particleboard-core box swelling and delamination at the toe kick. A leaky single-pane window or a dishwasher weep that’s been quietly dripping for years will soak the lower cabinet boxes in a Mountain View kitchen. We see particleboard KraftMaid boxes with swollen edges and delaminated backs on a regular basis. If the box is sound, we repair; if it’s compromised, replacement is the honest call.
- Blum-style hinge and soft-close glide failures from humidity cycling. Mountain View’s dry summers and wet winters cycle interior air repeatedly, and cabinets under low-slope or flat Eichler roofs collect condensation at the upper corners. Hinges loosen, soft-close mechanisms gum up, and drawers stop traveling smoothly. We replace with OEM KraftMaid hardware when available and aftermarket equivalents when a line is discontinued.
- Faded or yellowed thermofoil and laminate door fronts. North-facing kitchen walls in Mountain View get long hours of indirect Silicon Valley sun through single-pane glazing, and older KraftMaid thermofoil doors yellow unevenly in that light. Replacing the door fronts and re-hinging the existing boxes is usually the smart fix, not a full gut.
- Re-leveling drawer stacks after slab movement. Mountain View’s slab-on-grade foundations settle over time, and a KraftMaid drawer stack that ran true when it was installed in 1995 may be visibly off-line now. We realign and re-level the stack, often while setting new countertops so the reveal lines match.
KraftMaid Service in Mountain View: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Mountain View’s Community Development Department runs a design-review-heavy permit process that flags anything within a block of a transit corridor. For a KraftMaid kitchen on a Waverly Park or Cuesta Park Eichler, that often means a pre-submittal meeting with a Mountain View General Contractor and a historic-resource screen before a single cabinet is ordered. We’ve worked through that gauntlet enough to know how it shapes the job: the permit timeline can outlast the cabinet lead time, and the design review can restrict what you’re allowed to alter on the exterior walls or roofline, which in turn affects where we can add blocking or reroute electrical for under-cabinet lighting. A homeowner who calls us after the cabinets arrive but before the permit clears learns why we always flag the municipal sequence first. In Mountain View, the permit office is as much a part of a KraftMaid install as the hinge hardware.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Mountain View
We work on the full KraftMaid line that shows up in Mountain View kitchens: the Vantage series with all-plywood box construction, the Prelude series for budget-conscious remodels, Fashion Plastron and Maple full-overlay door styles, and Convenience Concepts drawer organizers and rollout trays. When a door or drawer box needs replacing, we source genuine KraftMaid parts for any active or recently-discontinued line. For older runs where the OEM part is gone from the supply chain, we turn to quality aftermarket glides and levelers and tell you exactly what we’re installing and why. Our stock of common hinge and glide hardware lets us handle most Mountain View service calls without a second trip.

AfterKraftMaid Service Pricing in Mountain View
Here’s what KraftMaid work typically costs in the Mountain View market:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000 – $13,000 |
| Countertop Installation | $2,000 – $6,500 |
| Backsplash Installation | $800 – $2,500 |
| Kitchen Island Installation | $3,000 – $10,000 |
| Full Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
What drives the number is mostly box condition, wall substrate work, and permit scope. A reface on sound 1990s KraftMaid oak boxes costs less than replacing water-damaged particleboard lowers, and a Waverly Park Eichler with a historic-resource screen will carry more municipal cost than a 1980s rancher with a straightforward over-the-counter permit. We provide written, line-item quotes so you see exactly where the money goes. Call (866) 505-5254 for an exact quote, estimates are free.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Mountain View
Yes, it can. Eichlers in neighborhoods like Waverly Park and Cuesta Park often trigger a historic-resource screen and design review through Mountain View’s Community Development Department, especially if you’re within a block of a transit corridor. Cabinet work itself is usually interior and doesn’t need a permit, but any wall, electrical, or plumbing changes that accompany the KraftMaid install can. Tell me what the house needs, not what you think it needs, then we’ll figure out the right fix and the right permit path. Call (866) 505-5254 to walk through your project.
Yes, if the boxes are sound. We’ve refaced dozens of 1990s KraftMaid runs across Mountain View, replacing faded thermofoil or oak door fronts, swapping hinges, and adding new drawer glides while the existing boxes stay in place. If water damage or delamination has compromised the particleboard core, refacing won’t hold, and we’ll tell you that before spending your money. Call (866) 505-5254 and we’ll tell you which path fits your cabinets.
The original plaster-and-lath walls in 1950s and 1960s Mountain View homes move, settle, and crack over decades of slab movement and seismic shifts. When a wall cabinet is mounted to that substrate, the bond fails over time and the run starts to sag. We fix it by opening the wall, adding proper blocking behind the mounting points, and rehanging the KraftMaid run so it seats level and holds. On a Cuesta Park Eichler, we pulled a water-stained wall-cabinet run off the lath wall, found the box backs delaminated from a flashing leak at the low-slope roof edge, and rebuilt the wall with new blocking before reinstalling re-faced doors and a fresh KraftMaid maple run set level to the slab.
Mountain View’s atmospheric-river storms and localized flooding along Stevens Creek and Permanente Creek mean ground-level moisture migrates into slab foundations and lower cabinet boxes in homes near those drainage areas. A KraftMaid lower cabinet sitting on a slab that wicks moisture will show swelling and delamination years before an upper cabinet does. We check the toe kick and back panel on any Mountain View kitchen near those creeks before quoting a reface, because a wet box is not a reface candidate. Call (866) 505-5254 for a site check.
No. Daly City Construction is an independent KraftMaid service provider, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized. That’s actually the point: we source genuine KraftMaid parts for active and recently-discontinued lines, and we spec the door and finish that fits your Mountain View home, not the one a dealer is pushed to move this quarter. You get the product line without the sales agenda.
