We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and repair across Boca Raton, from the gated communities west of 441 to the high-rise condos along A1A. What makes our KraftMaid work different here is simple: we know Boca Raton’s ARB review process and coastal humidity issues as well as we know KraftMaid hinge specs and veneer profiles. Barrett & Sons Construction has served this area since 1998, and every job carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Why Boca Raton Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
We work on KraftMaid cabinetry nearly every week somewhere in Boca Raton, so the brand’s construction details are second nature to our crews. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews now; when you call, you’re talking to people whose name is on the truck. We’re not a manufacturer-authorized service center, and we don’t pretend to be one. What we are is an independent KraftMaid sales & service contractor who knows these cabinets from the inside out.
What does that mean for you? We stock OEM KraftMaid hinges, glides, and touch-up kits locally for faster turnaround on repairs. We know which model lines hold up in Palm Beach County humidity and which ones develop problems after a few summers. And because we’re based in the area, we understand the permit and ARB layers that other contractors from Delray or Boynton often miss until it’s too late. A live person answers our phone around the clock, not a voicemail box.
Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Boca Raton
- Thermofoil delamination on door and drawer fronts. We see this constantly in east-side condos along the Intracoastal and on the barrier island, where sustained indoor humidity from poor ventilation causes the thermofoil layer to peel. It starts at the edges and works inward. We can often replace the affected doors and drawer fronts without touching the cabinet boxes, which keeps costs down and speeds up the job.
- Hinge screw stripping in particleboard stiles. This is the classic failure in 1990s KraftMaid kitchens, especially in heavily used lower cabinets around the sink and cooktop. The particleboard stiles just give out after a couple decades of daily opening and closing. We drill, dowel, and re-set the hinges, or replace the stile with a solid-wood piece when the damage is too far gone.
- Drawer glide misalignment on full-extension bases. Broken Sound and Boca Pointe kitchens from the late ’90s and early 2000s show this a lot. Heavy pots and pans ride on those full-extension glides every day, and eventually the glides loosen or the mounting screws strip. We realign or replace the hardware with OEM KraftMaid glides so the drawers close like they should.
- Warped plywood end panels next to dishwashers or ranges. Boca Pointe in particular has a lot of original kitchens where the end panel beside the dishwasher was never sealed properly on the underside. Years of steam and heat do the rest. We replace the panel and add a heat-shield barrier so the new one doesn’t warp the same way.
- Upper cabinets pulling away from CBS walls. This one is unique to Boca Raton’s concrete block construction. Anchors that work fine in wood-frame houses fail in CBS block, especially in older condo buildings where the drywall anchors were never right for the substrate in the first place. We remount cabinets with proper toggle bolts into the block and add plywood backing at the mounting points.
KraftMaid Service in Boca Raton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most out-of-area contractors don’t know until it bites them: if you live in a high-rise along A1A and you’re planning Kitchen Remodeling - Boca Raton that touches your KraftMaid cabinets, the city’s Architectural Review Board may need to sign off before you touch a single door front. That’s because Boca Raton’s ARB enforces the Mediterranean Revival aesthetic that Addison Mizner baked into the city’s master plan back in the 1920s, and it extends to interior finish selections in many of the older condo buildings east of Federal Highway. Two-tone painted cabinet finishes that are common in KraftMaid refacing projects can conflict with the mandated white or cream interior trim palette that some buildings enforce through their own ARB submission. That adds weeks to an approval timeline that a Delray Beach contractor would never even know exists. We’ve worked through enough ARB submission cycles to plan for it from the first estimate, not treat it as a surprise that shows up halfway through the job.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Boca Raton
Our crews install and repair every major KraftMaid line you’re likely to find in a Pompano Beach Kraftmaid service kitchen or Boca Raton home: Vantage, Venetia, Durham, and Hawthorne. Vantage is the line we see most often in 1980s and 1990s condos on the east side, while Durham and Hawthorne show up in newer gated-community homes in Woodfield and west of 441. When it comes to parts, we always try OEM KraftMaid hinges, glides, and touch-up kits first. The fit and finish are just better than aftermarket substitutes. But when a cabinet box has swollen from a slab leak or years of hurricane-driven humidity, we’ll price a targeted replacement panel or a new cabinet rather than trying to patch something that’s already compromised. We can also match existing finishes when you’re adding a cabinet to an older kitchen; that’s a request we get a lot from homeowners who want to expand storage without gutting the whole room.

FAQs - KraftMaid Construction in Boca Raton
Yes, in most cases we can. We work with KraftMaid’s current finish charts and touch-up kits, and our crew matches stain or painted finishes on-site before we order the new cabinet. The challenge in Boca Raton is that older finishes have faded slightly from sun and humidity, so we may need to adjust the sheen or tone slightly to blend. We’ll show you a sample before we place the order. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll take a look at what you’ve got.
Refacing is often the smarter move in an ARB-controlled Boca Raton building, because it keeps the existing cabinet footprint and avoids triggering a larger Bathroom Remodeling in Boca Raton review. But if your Vantage boxes are swollen, water-damaged, or the stiles are stripped beyond repair, refacing won’t fix the underlying problems. We’ll inspect the boxes and tell you straight what makes sense. If the finish color you want conflicts with the building’s mandated interior palette, we’ll flag it before you spend money on samples.
In most 1990s KraftMaid kitchens, the glides were mounted into particleboard with screws that eventually strip under heavy daily use. Broken Sound homes from that era see a lot of this because the original kitchens were built with lower cabinets that get daily pot-and-pan duty. The fix is usually new OEM glides with proper reinforcement behind the mounting points, not just another screw in the same stripped hole. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what yours need.
In Boca Raton, a small KraftMaid kitchen remodel with new cabinets and countertops typically runs $9,000 to $20,000 depending on the cabinet line, countertop material, and whether the scope triggers ARB review. Our written quotes include the permit line items, so you’re not surprised later. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote; estimates are free, and we’ll put every allowance on paper.
It depends on whether the island includes electrical, plumbing, or a change to the cabinet footprint that affects the building’s ARB-approved layout. In condo buildings east of Federal Highway, the answer is more often yes than no, and we handle the permit and inspection process for every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for us; that’s why we like having them involved. We’ll tell you up front whether your island job needs one.
