KraftMaid Construction in Sun City, CA | Milpitas Construction
We provide independent KraftMaid service across Sun City, from cabinet refacing and hardware upgrades on original Del Webb builds to full kitchen and bath remodels. What sets our work apart here is that we know exactly how 1960s – 80s KraftMaid cabinetry fails in this specific climate, and we phase the job around residents who are living in the home the whole time. Call (877) 752-4194 for a free estimate on KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, or a full Sun City remodel.
Why Sun City Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
We’ve remodeled enough Sun City kitchens and bathrooms to recognize a 1970s KraftMaid cabinet run from across the room, and our Romoland KraftMaid service covers the same era of builds. Original Homestead slab doors, side-mount epoxy glides, particleboard boxes that swell at the sink base. We know these because we work on them constantly. Ken Stafford, our owner, cut his teeth on Bay Area construction before bringing that same no-shortcuts approach down here, and our crew treats your occupied home with the respect it deserves.
Because we’re independent, we don’t push a manufacturer warranty agenda. If your KraftMaid boxes are sound, we’ll reface and upgrade hardware. If they’re water-damaged, we’ll tell you straight that refacing is a short-term bandage. That honesty is why Sun City homeowners call us first.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Sun City
- Door warp and delamination from inland heat. Original 1980s and 90s KraftMaid slab and raised-panel doors were never built for decades of 100°F+ summers and single-digit humidity. We regularly see doors that have bowed, split at the seams, or delaminated in Sun City kitchens with west-facing windows. We replace the doors while keeping the boxes if they’re still square.
- Drawer box separation and failed glides. Older KraftMaid side-mount epoxy glides wear out, especially in garages and sunrooms that don’t get air conditioning. Drawer boxes pull apart at the dovetail joints. We rebuild or replace the boxes and swap in soft-close aftermarket glides that outlast the originals.
- Swollen particleboard around sink bases. Slow plumbing leaks in aging Sun City ranch homes are common, and particleboard KraftMaid cases soak up that moisture like a sponge. By the time you notice the cabinet door won’t close, the sink base is usually compromised. We replace with plywood boxes when we rebuild.
- Yellowed thermofoil doors. That intense inland Riverside County UV through kitchen windows fades and yellows white and almond KraftMaid thermofoil doors faster than anything we saw in coastal markets. Matching is doable when we source OEM fronts, and we’ll tell you which series will look right next to your existing run.
- Hinges and hardware that have given up. Original KraftMaid hinges on Homestead and Summerhill cabinets from the 1970s and 80s eventually sag or snap. It’s a small fix that makes a big difference in how the kitchen feels day to day.
KraftMaid Service in Sun City: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Sun City is Del Webb’s first California active-adult community, and that shapes every KraftMaid job we take here. Most of the homes are original 1960s – 80s single-story Del Webb ranch houses on small, flat lots. Kitchen footprints are tight. Doorways are narrow. And the homeowners are, by design of the community, older adults who are living in the home while we work. That means we don’t gut a kitchen in one day and leave a mess for a week. We phase demolition and installation around mobility needs, keeping pathways clear and a functional sink or cooktop available as long as possible. Add HOA architectural-review timelines on top of that, and you understand why Sun City KraftMaid work rewards a contractor who has done it before. We have. This is the core of our Sun City service area work.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Sun City
We service the KraftMaid series most common in Sun City: Homestead, Summerhill, Marquis, and Aspen. Homestead and Summerhill dominate the original Del Webb builds, and we also handle KraftMaid in Quail Valley homes with similar vintage cabinetry. Marquis and Aspen show up in later remodels and infill homes in the 92585, 92586, and 92587 ZIP codes. For parts, we source OEM KraftMaid doors, drawer fronts, and glides when the box is intact and the style is still in production. When OEM parts are discontinued or priced unreasonably, we switch to quality aftermarket soft-close glides and hinges. We stock common replacement glides and hinge plates locally, which cuts turnaround time on Sun City cabinet repairs significantly compared to waiting for a manufacturer shipment.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Sun City
Yes, in most cases we can match original KraftMaid doors and drawer fronts on Homestead and Summerhill series cabinets from the Del Webb build era, then blend the finish so the new pieces don’t stand out. When a style is discontinued, we’ll show you the closest current KraftMaid option or a quality aftermarket match before we order anything. Call (877) 752-4194 and we’ll take a look at your existing run.
Usually not. If the particleboard case has swelled around the sink base or dishwasher opening, refacing is cosmetic and won’t fix the structural problem. We’ll rebuild that cabinet with a plywood box and match the surrounding doors, or recommend replacement if the damage has spread to adjoining cabinets. Ask us for a straight assessment.
Interior kitchen and bath work typically doesn’t trigger Sun City HOA review, but anything visible from the outside, like new windows, exterior doors, or patio/sunroom work, usually needs architectural approval first. We coordinate with the HOA when a project crosses from interior to exterior, so you don’t get a violation letter after the fact.
Yes, and we recommend it on every older KraftMaid cabinet we touch, including those needing KraftMaid repair in Perris area homes. We install quality aftermarket soft-close glides and hinges that fit the existing drawer boxes, which is a cost-effective upgrade to original side-mount epoxy glides. If the drawer boxes are already separating, we rebuild them before installing new glides.
We do it on nearly every job here. We phase the work so you always have a clear path through the kitchen, a usable sink when possible, and no tools or materials blocking doorways. For bath remodels, we schedule the demolition and install so the bathroom is out of commission for the shortest stretch we can manage. Call (877) 752-4194 to talk through your specific layout and needs.
