AfterKraftMaid Construction in Naples, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and repair across Naples, ZIP codes 34101 through 34104. What makes our KraftMaid work here different comes down to one thing: Naples is the only market we serve where a five-year-old KraftMaid kitchen gets removed because the house under it is being demolished the following spring. That changes how we spec, how we price, and how we tell you whether to reface, rescue, or replace. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Naples Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
Our crew has spent enough hours inside Naples kitchens to know a Vantage from a Benton by the hinge hardware and panel profile before the homeowner finishes describing the problem. Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons in 1998, and he learned framing and finish work at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending two decades on jobs where the work never lies. Now his sons run the crews that carry the family name into every kitchen we touch. We’re not a KraftMaid-authorized dealer and we don’t pretend to be. What we are is an independent KraftMaid sales & service provider who stocks original KraftMaid hinges, glides, and roll-out trays so a Naples repair doesn’t stall waiting on a parts shipment. Every estimate is free, every scope change is a written change order, and every job ends with our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings us back.
Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Naples
- Soft-close hinge failure from salt-air corrosion. Homes on canal-facing lots in Port Royal and along the Gordon River get constant salt spray moving through open lanais. KraftMaid’s standard soft-close hinges hold up fine inland, but the brass plating thins and the damper mechanisms seize within a few seasons here. We replace them with original-equipment hinges rated for coastal exposure, because an aftermarket hinge never sits in the same cup depth.
- Thermofoil delamination in seasonal homes. Naples has thousands of homes that sit unoccupied from May through October. When the air conditioning cycles off, indoor humidity spikes, and KraftMaid’s thermofoil-wrapped maple doors and drawer fronts start peeling at the edges. We see this constantly in Pelican Bay condos and golf-course communities off Tamiami Trail, and the fix almost always means replacing the doors, not regluing the film.
- Drawer glide binding under quartz-topped islands. Homeowners put a three-centimeter quartz slab on a KraftMaid island and wonder why the drawer sticks. The answer is the undermount glides were specified at the minimum weight rating, and the added stone overloads them within a year. We swap in heavier-rated glides that match the original KraftMaid drawer box dimensions, so you don’t lose the soft-close feel.
- Frame separation on painted MDF doors after Ian. Naples homes that sat untaped and un-dried after the September 2022 storm surge now have mitered corners separating on KraftMaid’s painted MDF doors. The moisture cycled in, sat there, and split the joints. Sometimes we can re-glue and clamp; more often the door is beyond saving and we machine a replacement to match the profile and finish.
- Face-frame warping from hydrostatic pressure under slab homes. The water table in Naples sits as little as 18 to 24 inches below grade in some neighborhoods. Older slab-on-grade homes in Old Naples (34102) push moisture up through the concrete and into base cabinets sitting directly on the slab. KraftMaid face frames absorb that moisture and bow. We check slab moisture before any install on an existing foundation, and we’ll tell you if you need a moisture barrier before new cabinets go in.
KraftMaid Service in Naples: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
The one fact that shapes KraftMaid work in Naples more than any other is the scrape-and-rebuild wave concentrated in ZIP codes 34102 and 34103. KraftMaid kitchens in Old Naples and Port Royal are routinely pulled out of homes being demolished within five years of their last Kitchen Remodeling - Naples project. We pulled a Vantage L-shaped kitchen out of a 1962 CBS cottage on Gulf Shore Boulevard after the owners decided to tear down and rebuild at elevation. Before demolition, their insurance adjuster documented thermofoil that had bubbled on every drawer front below the 30-inch water line from Ian, and two corner base cabinets had swollen so badly the face frames split at the miter. Our crew cut out the affected sections, saved the uppers and the island, dropped the salvage value onto the demolition quote, and prepped the job for a new Kinsley layout once the new slab was poured. That’s the Naples reality: clients either want a quick-flip install priced for immediate resale, or a full custom layout that survives a post-Ian elevation lift. There’s no middle-ground “standard” KraftMaid job in this city, and we stopped pretending there was years ago.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Naples
We carry original KraftMaid hardware and stock replacement components for the Vantage, Benton, Durham, and Kinsley lines. When a hinge or glide is still in production, we use the KraftMaid part because the throw and cup depth are impossible to replicate with aftermarket hardware. For discontinued door profiles and old trim styles, we machine local maple or poplar replacements to match the original profile and finish by hand. And we tell clients straight when a warped face frame makes full cabinet replacement cheaper than endless rework. We service cabinetry across every Naples service area ZIP, from 34101 up through 34104 and into the surrounding communities.
KraftMaid Service Pricing in Naples
Here’s what KraftMaid cabinet work typically runs in Naples, based on the jobs we’ve priced and completed in this market:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| KraftMaid cabinet installation (full kitchen) | $4,000 - $13,000 |
| Kitchen island installation with KraftMaid base cabinets | $3,000 - $10,000 |
| KraftMaid cabinet refacing (doors, drawers, veneers) | $9,000 - $20,000 |
What drives the spread is the condition of what’s already there: a clean tear-out on a level slab costs less than a post-Ian kitchen with swelling, frame separation, and moisture remediation. Your free estimate includes a written line-item quote, so no number changes later unless we both sign a change order. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact price on your kitchen.

FAQs - KraftMaid Construction in Naples
Yes, we can machine replacement doors to match the original Vantage profile and finish, but there’s a hard limit: if the door style has been discontinued by KraftMaid and we can’t source blanks from our supplier network, we’ll tell you up front and show you the closest available match before cutting anything. For water-damaged doors, we check for frame swelling behind the door before ordering replacements, because a new door on a swollen face frame won’t sit plumb. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come look at what actually got wet.
We do, and there’s no close second. Original KraftMaid soft-close hinges sit in the same cup, the same screw pattern, and the same throw as the factory hardware, which means the door hangs the way KraftMaid built it. Aftermarket hinges never fit the cup depth correctly, and near salt water they fail faster than the original. If KraftMaid has discontinued the hinge, we tell you before ordering the substitute.
We check the slab first. When a Naples home gets lifted, the new elevation changes drainage, slab moisture, and the way the kitchen floor meets the walls, and KraftMaid cabinets don’t forgive a slab that’s out of level or holding water. We take moisture readings, shoot a level across the footprint, and only then quote the install. If the slab needs dewatering or a vapor barrier, that goes in writing before the first cabinet box comes off the truck. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free assessment.
Usually, but not always. In Naples, where labor rates run high and demolition of a luxury kitchen adds real cost, refacing a KraftMaid kitchen typically saves you 30 to 40 percent versus tearing out and replacing. The exception is when face frames are warped or swollen from post-Ian moisture, or when you’re planning to change the island footprint entirely. Refacing can’t fix a bad frame, and we won’t sell it as a shortcut that falls apart in two years. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight answer with numbers on paper.
Yes, provided the island base is spec’d with the right undermount glides and the top is supported correctly. The failure we see most often in Naples is a three-centimeter quartz slab dropped on drawer banks where the glides were rated at the minimum weight. Once the drawers load up with cookware, they bind. We resolve that by upgrading to original KraftMaid glides rated for the full combined weight, not by re-shimming the old hardware. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that includes the drawer-rating check.
