AfterKraftMaid Construction in Delray Beach, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and Kitchen Remodeling - Delray Beach across the area. We’re not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, and we don’t pretend to be. What we are is a local crew that has spent 29 years working inside Delray Beach’s specific building reality: CBS construction, high water tables, salt air, and a downtown design-review process that rejects cabinet layouts other contractors would happily install. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on KraftMaid work in Delray Beach.
Why Delray Beach Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
KraftMaid cabinets are built well, but they behave differently in South Florida than they do in a showroom in Ohio. We know that because we’ve installed and repaired hundreds of KraftMaid kitchens in Delray Beach, from Century Village condos in 33446 to oceanfront rebuilds in 33483. Tom Barrett grew up in the San Fernando Valley watching crews pour foundations with his dad, learned the trade at LA Trade-Tech, and has spent the better part of two decades building and remodeling homes across Los Angeles and now Palm Beach County. His oldest son runs crews on most of our KraftMaid jobs. We spec KraftMaid sales & service work the way a cabinetmaker would: OEM hinge plates and drawer glides where tolerances matter, locally milled trim where a profile’s been discontinued. We answer our own phone, we pull permits on every eligible job, and every change order arrives in writing before a single cabinet box leaves the truck.
Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Delray Beach
- Soft-close hinge plates loosening on Vantage and Momentum lines. Barrier island homes in 33483 get years of salt-air humidity cycling, and those face-frame screws work loose. Doors start sagging, then they start catching. We replace the hinge plates with OEM parts and reinforce the screw seats before the face frame splits.
- Drawer box joints separating in western Delray Beach CBS homes. Slab-on-grade construction in 33446, 33447, and 33448 means the slab moves. Older Vantage dovetail boxes take that movement first. We see split dovetails and separated box joints, especially in kitchens where the slab has settled a quarter inch or more.
- Shelf pin holes elongating in high-humidity laundry and pantry cabinets. Brella and Configuration lines run particleboard side panels. After five to seven years of Delray Beach’s wet-season humidity, those pin holes waller out, and shelves drop under load. We drill and sleeve the original holes or swap to a heavier pin design that holds.
- Toe-kick panels wicking groundwater in slab kitchens. The water table across much of western Delray Beach sits 18 to 24 inches below grade. Cabinet feet and plumbing cutouts near the slab pull moisture up, and particleboard toe-kicks swell and crumble. We replace with marine-grade material and seal the cut edges before reinstallation.
- Historic-corridor cabinet layout rejections on Atlantic Avenue. If you’re doing a KraftMaid remodel in a commercial storefront or mixed-use upper floor downtown, the design-review board can reject upper-cabinet layouts that break sightline rules. We pre-draw cabinet elevations against the DDRI guidelines so you’re not redesigning after rejection.
KraftMaid Service in Delray Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what separates Delray Beach from Kraftmaid repair in Boca Raton or Boynton Beach for KraftMaid owners: the Atlantic Avenue corridor carries a dual regulatory load. Delray’s downtown design-review boards enforce sightline and setback rules specific to that historic strip, and Palm Beach County’s post-Hurricane Andrew wind codes still govern structural anchoring. A contractor who pulls a permit for an upper-cabinet run on Atlantic Avenue without checking the cabinet elevations against the Downtown Development of Regional Impact guidelines is going to get a rejection letter and a costly redesign loop. We’ve learned to pre-draw KraftMaid cabinet elevations before permit submission, which means swapping full-height uppers for open shelving or lowering the cabinet line where the code requires it. That’s not something you’ll get from a national company working out of a call center. It’s the kind of thing you get when the same crew has worked Delray Beach for years and knows what the review board will actually sign off on.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Delray Beach
We work on all four current KraftMaid lines: Vantage, Momentum, Brella, and Configuration. That includes full kitchen installs, cabinet refacing, island builds, and repair on existing KraftMaid kitchens of any age. Our parts approach is simple: OEM KraftMaid hardware whenever the face-frame tolerance requires it, and locally milled matching profiles when a trim piece has been discontinued. We stock common hinge plates, drawer glides, shelf pins, and mounting hardware in our trucks for faster Delray Beach turnarounds. If a cabinet box is swollen past the face frame or the finish is delaminating, we’ll say so plainly and recommend replacement over refacing, especially in kitchens above groundwater-prone slabs where swelling will just come back.

FAQs - KraftMaid Construction in Delray Beach
Yes, if the cabinet boxes are structurally sound. Bathroom Remodeling - Delray Beach aside, salt air attacks the finish and the hinge hardware before it attacks the box. We replace corroded soft-close hinge plates with KraftMaid OEM parts, sand and re-coat the face frames, and install new doors and drawer fronts. If the box itself has swelled from years of humidity, refacing won’t cure it, and we’ll tell you that before you spend the money. Call (877) 610-1318 for an assessment.
Yes. Palm Beach County structural codes, including the post-Andrew wind provisions, require upper cabinets in CBS construction to anchor into the block, not just into drywall or furring strips. We use the proper masonry anchors and torque them to spec, and we pull the permit so an inspector verifies the anchoring. That inspection protects you if you ever sell the house.
We shim first. A settled slab in a 1980s CBS home in western Delray Beach can throw base cabinet runs out of level by a quarter inch or more, which is what causes drawer boxes to bind and doors to catch. We level the bases with composite shims, secure them, then set the KraftMaid boxes on the corrected plane. Recently we refaced a full Vantage perimeter kitchen in a 1994 CBS home off Linton Blvd where the customer had two dropped uppers and a split drawer box. We shimmed the bases, replaced OEM hinge plates, re-milled the drawer front to match the beaded profile, and the whole thing passed inspection with no cabinet changes required.
Usually, yes, but it takes pre-planning. The design-review board’s sightline rules mean some upper cabinet runs get reduced or replaced with open shelving, especially on Atlantic Avenue’s commercial and mixed-use frontages. What we do is redraw the KraftMaid elevations before permit submission, shifting storage into deeper base drawers, a pantry wall, or an island. You keep your storage capacity; you just move where it lives. We’ve done this enough times on Delray Beach’s downtown corridor that we know what the board will pass and what they’ll bounce.
For a rental unit in Century Village or anywhere in 33446, the fastest fixes are usually hinge replacement and drawer glide swaps. We carry OEM KraftMaid soft-close hinge plates and side-mount glides in the truck, and most of those jobs are done in an afternoon. If the cabinet boxes are solid and it’s just worn hardware, there’s no reason for a remodel. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight answer and a free estimate.
