Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Choose KraftMaid Construction
We provide Kraftmaid in Fort Lauderdale with independent cabinet installation, refacing, and related construction service across the city, from Victoria Park bungalows to high-rise condos along the Galt Ocean Mile. Our team has completed dozens of KraftMaid cabinet installations and refacing projects in this city, which means we know how Vantage thermofoil reacts to coastal humidity, how Benton finishes hold up under salt air, and what it takes to get materials staged into a 12th-floor unit without drama. We are not affiliated with or authorized by KraftMaid; we are an independent KraftMaid service provider with years of hands-on experience in Fort Lauderdale’s specific housing stock and climate. Call (754) 354-3720 for a free estimate on any KraftMaid project.
Why Trust Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale for Your KraftMaid Construction?
KraftMaid cabinets are built well, but Fort Lauderdale tests them harder than most places. Our crews work on them every month, which means we can spot a Vantage thermofoil door starting to separate along the bottom rail before it becomes a full delamination. We know which Durham hinge screws tend to back out on full-overlay doors in humid kitchens. We have seen what happens to Lexington drawer fronts when a homeowner uses the wrong cleaner near a sunny window. Isaac Pruett, our owner, has spent the better part of two decades remodeling in South Florida, with a good stretch of that running projects in Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods like Victoria Park. He has pulled enough KraftMaid boxes off enough freight elevators to know exactly what can go wrong and how to prevent it. When you call us, you get a written price before any work starts, a crew that arrives in marked uniforms with photo ID, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise: if anything is not right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you. That applies to KraftMaid work the same as every other job we take on.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Fix in Fort Lauderdale
KraftMaid makes multiple product lines, and each has its own failure patterns in our climate. Here are the issues we see most often in Fort Lauderdale homes:
- Warped thermofoil doors on Vantage models. Thermofoil is a vinyl laminate heat-sealed over MDF. In Fort Lauderdale, sustained humidity plus heat from a nearby oven or dishwasher vent causes the laminate to lift and bubble along the bottom rails and edges. Once moisture gets behind the film, the look goes fast. We have pulled warped Vantage doors in kitchens where the cabinet box was perfectly solid, which is why we check the boxes before recommending anything.
- Peeling or chipping finish on Benton and Lexington drawer fronts. These lines use painted and stained finishes that do not love direct sun or harsh spray cleaners. A Lexington drawer front sitting under an east-facing window in a Fort Lauderdale condo will fade and chip years before the rest of the kitchen. Salt in the air accelerates the breakdown. Replacing just the affected drawer fronts usually restores the look for a fraction of a full cabinet job.
- Loose or misaligned hinges on Durham full-overlay doors. The Durham line runs full-overlay doors with concealed hinges, and in humid conditions the particleboard screw anchors slowly lose grip. Gaps appear between doors, or corners drop a few millimeters. Tightening helps, but the real fix often means replacing the hinge plates and anchors, not just cranking a screwdriver.
- Cracked corner joints on raised-panel doors in high-traffic kitchens. Raised-panel doors on several KraftMaid lines use joined corner construction. Constant opening and closing, plus Fort Lauderdale’s humidity swings, stress those joints until hairline cracks form. If caught early, we can sometimes stabilize the joint. If it has spread, selective door replacement is the honest fix.
- Soft-close mechanisms wearing out on drawer glides. Many KraftMaid lines came with soft-close glides as standard in recent years. The dampening mechanism fails over time, especially in kitchens where drawers get heavy use. We stock replacement glides and can swap them in under an hour per drawer in most cases.
KraftMaid Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We source genuine KraftMaid hinges, drawer glides, and touch-up kits whenever possible. Mixed aftermarket components create misalignment and can void any remaining brand warranty. For doors or drawer fronts beyond economical repair, we recommend full refacing or selective replacement over piecemeal fixes. That keeps finish consistency and typically lands within 15 to 20 percent of a full cabinet replacement cost. We tell you what we found, what it takes to fix it, and what it will cost – before we touch a thing. Call (754) 354-3720 and we will walk you through the options for your specific KraftMaid setup.
Our KraftMaid Service Process – Step by Step
Here is how a KraftMaid project runs with Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale:
- 1
Diagnosis. We inspect the cabinets, doors, glides, and any affected construction. For KraftMaid work, we identify the product line, door style, and finish code so we know exactly what we are matching against. We check what is salvageable and what is not.
- 2
Written price. Before any work starts, you get a written line-item price. Not a verbal ballpark. Not an estimate that grows later. That price covers parts, labor, and any delivery or freight access requirements for your Fort Lauderdale building.
- 3
Repair or installation. We bring the parts, stage them cleanly, and do the work. In condos and high-rises, we coordinate freight elevator time and protect common areas. Your technician arrives in a marked uniform with photo ID, and you know their name and face before they knock.
- 4
Testing and adjustment. Doors get aligned. Drawers get cycled. Soft-close mechanisms get checked. We do not leave until everything functions the way KraftMaid intended.
- 5
Written guarantee. Every job is covered by our written guarantee, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to all KraftMaid installations and refacing projects. If anything fails within a year of completion, we come back and fix it at no charge.

AfterKraftMaid Products We Service & Install in Fort Lauderdale
We work across the KraftMaid line, including Vantage, Benton, Durham, and Lexington series. That covers flat-panel and raised-panel doors, full-overlay and standard-overlay configurations, multiple finish families, and the hardware and glide systems used across generations of KraftMaid cabinets. Our Fort Lauderdale crews, also available for KraftMaid Construction in Davie, FL, regularly install and reface KraftMaid in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and custom built-in applications like entertainment walls and home offices. We coordinate delivery, freight access, and staging for single-family homes and high-rise condos alike.
We Also Service These Brands
As a General Contractor, KraftMaid is a core specialty, but we are not limited to it. Our team installs and services Cambria, Silestone, Kohler, and Toto products as well, which means if your KraftMaid kitchen also needs a quartz countertop or a new Kohler fixture, one crew can handle the entire scope in Fort Lauderdale.
FAQs – KraftMaid Construction Service in Fort Lauderdale
Yes, in most cases. We order replacements using the exact KraftMaid finish code from your original order documentation or confirm it by matching a sample door. Slight finish variation can occur between production runs, especially on stained finishes that have aged under Fort Lauderdale sun, so we always set that expectation before ordering. Call (754) 354-3720 and we will tell you whether matching is realistic for your specific doors before you spend anything.
Steam from the dishwasher vent rises and sits against the bottom rails of adjacent cabinet doors. Over months, that sustained heat and moisture weakens the thermofoil bond, and peeling starts along the lower edge. This is the single most common Vantage failure we see in Fort Lauderdale kitchens. If the cabinet boxes are solid, replacing the affected doors and adding a heat deflector often solves it permanently. Call (754) 354-3720 for an exact quote.
Refacing typically runs 15 to 20 percent less than a full replacement of comparable KraftMaid cabinets, provided the boxes and frames are structurally sound. In Fort Lauderdale, where many kitchens were built into concrete block walls, refacing also avoids demolition mess and keeps the project window shorter. We also offer Kraftmaid repair in Pompano Beach with the same approach. We will assess your cabinet boxes for free and give you a straightforward comparison before you commit to anything.
Yes. We can order KraftMaid cabinets in the same door style and finish as your existing run, then build the island base, install countertops, and finish the plumbing and electrical as needed. In Fort Lauderdale high-rises, island work sometimes requires coordinating with building management for water line access, and we handle that paperwork for you. Call (754) 354-3720 to schedule a free estimate.
Yes, we install customer-supplied KraftMaid cabinets as long as they are complete and undamaged on arrival. We inspect everything before cutting anything, and we will tell you up front if a part is missing or a panel arrived warped. Our installation labor is covered by the same written guarantee and 365-Day Done Right Promise as every other job. Call (754) 354-3720 to discuss your project.
