KraftMaid Construction in Redlands, CA | Moreno Valley Builders
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and full kitchen remodeling across Redlands, from the historic core in 92373 to the hillside and east-side developments in 92374 and 92375. What makes our KraftMaid work different here is that we’re not a dealer, so our only interest is whether the boxes sit square, the doors clear the original window casing, and the finish holds up to a west-facing Redlands afternoon. Call (877) 752-3154 to schedule a free estimate for your KraftMaid project in Redlands.
Why Redlands Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
We’ve installed and refaced KraftMaid cabinetry across the Inland Empire for years, including KraftMaid in Highland and nearby communities, so we know the door styles, box construction, and drawer hardware that show up in Redlands homes and where they fail. We’re an independent cabinetry and remodeling crew, not a KraftMaid dealer or authorized representative, which means our loyalty sits with the fit and finish in your house, not a manufacturer’s sales program. That independence is exactly what a Redlands homeowner needs when a 1920s Craftsman wall is out of plumb and a stock cabinet run has to be scribed, shimmed, and built around trim worth saving. Noel Trevino, owner and general contractor at Moreno Valley Builders, grew up in Sunnymead Ranch and has spent close to three decades building and renovating homes across this region. If the details aren’t right on paper, they won’t be right in the wall. We write the details down before we cut anything.
Our full-scope KraftMaid sales & service experience means we handle the cabinetry, the countertop, the backsplash, and the coordination between trades under one roof. We manage the trades so you don’t have to.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Redlands
- Swollen painted MDF doors on Prelude and Vantage runs. Kitchens in older Redlands homes often have original slab floors and no drain pan under the dishwasher. A slow leak goes unnoticed, and the bottom edges of painted MDF doors chip and swell. We replace the doors and address the water issue so it doesn’t come back.
- Worn drawer slides and hinges on 1990s and 2000s KraftMaid installs. In 92374 tract homes, we routinely swap tired side-mount slides for full-extension soft-close rather than replace cabinets that are structurally fine. The boxes outlive the hardware almost every time.
- Sun-stressed painted finishes on west-facing or skylight-adjacent cabinets. Redlands summers are hot and dry with intense UV. Paint film on cabinet doors facing strong afternoon sun can fade and crack at the joiner, especially on pre-war homes in the historic core where kitchen windows pull in that low sun angle.
- Boxes out of square against settling historic-core walls. KraftMaid stock cabinets are manufactured square and true. On a 1920s Redlands house, the wall is rarely the same. The gap is the problem, not the cabinet. We shim, scribe fillers, and build the run to the wall, not the other way around.
- Mismatched replacement doors from previous handyman repairs. We see a fair number of Redlands kitchens where one or two doors were swapped with aftermarket pieces that don’t match the original KraftMaid finish or profile. We source genuine KraftMaid replacement doors and drawer fronts when a match matters.
KraftMaid Service in Redlands: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Redlands is a citrus-belt city with a large stock of pre-war and mid-century homes in the historic core sitting alongside newer hill and east-side development, so construction here is dominated by remodeling, additions, and restoration work rather than greenfield builds. What that means for KraftMaid owners specifically is that installs in Redlands get complicated by the housing stock itself. On the historic-core Craftsman and Spanish Colonial homes near downtown Redlands, kitchen walls are rarely plumb, and the original window and door casings are often worth saving—something we also address during Colton KraftMaid service calls. That means a KraftMaid install here usually requires scribing fillers, shimming boxes, and building the new kitchen around trim that a stock replacement would otherwise destroy. On a 1920s Craftsman off the historic core in 92373, our crew pulled a tired 1990s KraftMaid Vantage run whose painted MDF doors had swollen at the base from a slow dishwasher leak and whose boxes sat a half-inch out of plumb against the original plaster. We saved the window casing, shimmed and scribed new KraftMaid boxes to the wall, swapped in full-extension soft-close slides, and set a quartz top over the refaced run, no tear-out of the original trim. That’s the Redlands difference. You can’t get that reading from a catalog.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Redlands
We work on KraftMaid Vantage, Momentum, and Prelude lines, along with the maple and cherry stain programs common in mid-century and Craftsman-era Redlands kitchens. Vantage is the all-plywood box with an entry-level door program. Momentum gives you framed maple doors in painted or stained finishes. Prelude is the MDF-door line, usually painted, and the one most prone to edge swelling if water sits at the base. When a match matters, we order genuine KraftMaid replacement doors, drawer fronts, and hinges. Where aftermarket full-extension slides and soft-close hinges outlast and outperform the originals, we tell you that plainly and use those instead. Our honest stance: reface and re-box when the frames and layout are sound, replace when water damage or a bad layout has already cost you the carcass.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Redlands
Yes, in most cases we can match the door profile and finish using genuine KraftMaid replacement doors and drawer fronts, especially on Momentum and Vantage lines where the catalog is still active. On older or discontinued finishes, we’ll tell you honestly whether a close match or a full reface is the better move. Call (877) 752-3154 and we’ll come look at what you have.
Yes, but only if the installer knows how to work with the wall rather than against it. KraftMaid boxes are manufactured square, so on out-of-plumb historic-core walls in Redlands, the gap between the cabinet and the plaster means we shim the boxes and scribe filler strips to the wall—much like we do for KraftMaid repair in Loma Linda. The cabinets fit; the fillers do the work. That’s standard practice for us on pre-war Redlands homes.
Re-face and re-box when the frames and layout are sound. Replace when water damage, structural failure, or a layout that never worked has already cost you the carcass. We’ll open a few doors and check the box joints and drawer glides before we recommend one path over the other. No sales pitch, just a straight read on what’s left in the cabinet.
A full KraftMaid kitchen remodel in Redlands typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and how much wall correction the house needs. A smaller kitchen remodel runs $9,000 to $20,000, and a cabinet installation alone runs $4,000 to $13,000. If your house is in the historic core and needs heavy shimming and scribing, expect the number to land toward the higher end. Call (877) 752-3154 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Yes. We’re a licensed general contractor, so we pull permits when the scope requires it and we manage the inspection process through final sign-off. Redlands has specific requirements for remodeling work in the historic core, and we coordinate with the city on those. From permits to punch list, it’s our responsibility, not yours.
