KraftMaid Construction in Bloomington, CA | Workshop Contractors
Workshop Contractors provides independent KraftMaid cabinetry construction and kitchen remodeling across Bloomington, California. We’re not a KraftMaid dealer or factory-authorized service center. We’re a licensed general contractor that has spent years hanging, refacing, and correcting KraftMaid boxes in Bloomington’s ranch homes, owner-built additions, and manufactured housing on private parcels. What makes our KraftMaid work different here? We know how County of San Bernardino permitting, septic-versus-sewer parcel status, and Inland Empire heat affect every cabinet decision before the first box gets ordered. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate on your Bloomington kitchen.
Why Bloomington Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
KraftMaid cabinets show up in a lot of Bloomington kitchens, particularly the Vantage line that went into 1990s and early 2000s tract remodels, and the Napa and Wakefield door styles in honey oak and white thermofoil that were everywhere in that era. We’ve torn out enough of these kitchens to know exactly how they hold up, and exactly where they fail first. Our founder, Noel Figueroa, learned framing and finish work at Chaffey College before spending decades on Inland Empire job sites, and he still treats cabinet installation the way he was taught: shim and scribe to the actual floor, square every run, and never bury a problem behind a finished panel. For a full picture of our cabinetry work, see our KraftMaid sales & service page. We serve all of Bloomington service area ZIP 92316.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Bloomington
Here’s what we actually see when we open up KraftMaid kitchens in Bloomington homes:
- Thermofoil peeling on west- and south-facing walls. Laminate and thermofoil door skins blister and peel after years of 100°F afternoon sun loading through unshaded windows. This is a persistent pattern on Bloomington’s large-lot ranches with minimal tree cover. New doors or a reface is usually the answer, not a full box replacement.
- Drawers dragging from wind-driven grit. Santa Ana winds push fine dust through patio sliders and range hoods, and it settles into drawer glides and hinge pockets. Heat cooks the original lubricant, and suddenly drawers drag and doors stop closing flush. We clean, re-lube, and often upgrade to soft-close hardware.
- Base cabinet swelling against stucco exterior walls. Older post-WWII and ranch homes in Bloomington have stucco exterior walls with no vapor barrier behind the run. Moisture wicks through and swells the back panel and toe kick, so doors rack out of reveal before any finish wear shows.
- Racked runs from out-of-level floors. Original KraftMaid boxes hung during 1980s – 2000s remodel waves in owner-built additions and converted garages often sit on floors that were never level. Expansive clay soil shifts slabs, and the entire run racks. Doors and drawers misalign even though the boxes are structurally sound.
- Discontinued door styles on partial kitchen remodels. When a Bloomington homeowner wants to keep half the kitchen and replace the rest, matching a discontinued KraftMaid door profile takes someone who knows the old catalogs. We can source matching or near-matching door styles and finish-match the color.
KraftMaid Service in Bloomington: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something that separates Bloomington from Fontana, Rialto, and Colton: Bloomington has no city hall. Every construction project here runs through County of San Bernardino building and planning. A KraftMaid kitchen that moves a sink, adds an island, or opens a wall has to clear county plan check before cabinet boxes get ordered. On the large unincorporated lots where septic-versus-sewer status varies parcel to parcel, a relocated sink line can pull a septic review. That county path and parcel-by-parcel check have no equivalent one town over. We know which questions the county asks, what drawings they want to see, and how to sequence the permit so your cabinets aren’t sitting in a warehouse while paperwork clears.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Bloomington
We work on the KraftMaid lines that actually went into Bloomington kitchens over the past four decades: Vantage, the entry semi-custom line common in 1990s – 2000s remodels; Napa and Wakefield door styles in honey oak and white thermofoil; and the premium full-access line with plywood box construction. We also handle laminate and wood-veneer cabinet lines from earlier remodel waves. On parts, we use OEM KraftMaid hinges, glides, and touch-up finish where the box is structurally sound, and quality aftermarket soft-close hardware when the original line is discontinued or the OEM part costs more than it’s worth. Our honest position: reface and re-hinge a sound box, but replace any base cabinet that has swollen at the back panel or lost its glue joints. No hardware upgrade rescues a water-damaged box.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Bloomington
Replacing cabinets in the same footprint typically does not require a permit. Moving a sink, changing plumbing rough-ins, adding an island with electrical, or opening a wall does require county plan check and likely a permit. Since Bloomington has no city hall, everything goes through the county. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll tell you what applies to your kitchen.
If the boxes are sound, yes. We re-face the affected doors or replace just the doors and drawer fronts, matching the existing profile where possible. If the peeling is extensive, refacing the whole run often makes more sense than piecemeal replacement. Call (844) 384-3361 for an honest assessment.
Often both. Grit-packed glides and cooked lubricant cause the sticking, and out-of-level floors on expansive clay soil cause the misalignment. We inspect both before recommending repair or replacement. It doesn’t make sense to re-hang boxes on a slab that’s still moving.
Usually, yes. We know the Vantage, Napa, and Wakefield profiles from Bloomington’s older remodel waves, and we can source matching or near-matching door styles and finish-match the color. Some discontinued styles require a custom door order. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll tell you what’s possible for your kitchen.
It can. We sequence deliveries around the county permit plan check and any septic review tied to a relocated sink line. We won’t order boxes until the county clears the work, because storing cabinets while paperwork sits is how finish damage happens. Call (844) 384-3361 to talk through your timeline.
