KraftMaid Construction in Silver Lakes, CA | Timberline Contractors
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and full kitchen construction across Silver Lakes, CA – and the one thing that makes our KraftMaid work different here is that every job has to clear the HOA’s architectural review committee before a single door gets ordered. We install and service KraftMaid Passport, Vantage, and Waypoint cabinetry throughout the 92342 zip code, with full kitchen remodels, cabinet refacing, and quartz or granite countertop work handled under one contract. Call (866) 253-5808 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Silver Lakes Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
We work on KraftMaid cabinetry every week, not just when a sales rep runs a promotion. Nelson Fung, our owner and general contractor, learned the trade at LA Trade-Technical College and has spent years tearing into cabinets that other shops would have ripped out and thrown away. That matters in Silver Lakes because the housing stock here – mostly 1980s to 2000s stucco-on-frame homes built around the golf course and lakes – is full of original KraftMaid boxes that are still square while the doors and hardware have worn out. We tell you the truth about what’s worth fixing and what’s genuinely done. Re-hinging and refacing a solid KraftMaid Vantage box usually costs a third of a full replacement and gets you another 15 years. We carry OEM KraftMaid hinges, drawer boxes, and touch-up finishes, and when lead times stall, we source match-quality aftermarket soft-close hardware that performs as well. For Silver Lakes homeowners, that means less time waiting and fewer surprise change orders.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Silver Lakes
- Sand-loaded drawer glides and door hinges. Silver Lakes sits in open High Desert wind. Fine sand off the desert scours through door seals and settles in full-overlay drawer glides and hinges, especially on cabinets near garage entries and patio doors. Drawers bind, doors sag, and soft-close mechanisms lose their dampening. We pull the hardware, clean the boxes, and re-hang with OEM-style replacements.
- Sun-damaged painted MDF and maple doors. Kitchens with a sun-facing wall in Silver Lakes see 100°F-plus summer heat and intense UV. Painted MDF and maple doors shrink and check at the panel joints, and paint lifts at the stiles. The wall facing the lake gets hit hardest in the afternoon. We reface with new doors and touch-up finish, and we’ll tell you if a glazed Waypoint finish will hide the wear better than a flat paint.
- Wind-scoured island end panels. On windy days, a patio door left open lets blowing sand sandblast exposed island end panels and cabinet faces. The factory finish dulls and pits. We repair and refinish those surfaces, or reface them if the damage has gone through the topcoat.
- Worn hinges and drawer boxes on otherwise solid cabinets. In the 1980s and 1990s KraftMaid kitchens we see around Silver Lakes, the boxes stay square but the original hinges wear out and drawer boxes split. Owners assume the whole kitchen is shot. Most of the time, refacing and re-hardwaring fixes it for thousands less than replacement.
- Out-of-square cabinet frames after winter temperature swings. High-desert nights drop fast, and dry winter air pulls moisture out of wood. Cabinet frames rack slightly, which throws doors out of alignment against the soft-close hinges. We adjust, shim, and re-set the hinges so the doors close clean again.
KraftMaid Service in Silver Lakes: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Cabinets
Here’s the thing most outside contractors don’t factor in: Silver Lakes’ HOA architectural review committee has to approve cabinet color, door style, and countertop material before any remodel touches visible exterior or window-adjacent casework. And because blowing sand has already faded exterior finishes across the community, the ARC is stricter here than in neighboring Adelanto or Hesperia about matching the approved palette. That means you don’t just pick a KraftMaid door profile from a catalog. You pick it against the community design palette, then you get sign-off, then you order. On a golf-course-side home in Silver Lakes, our crew pulled a 1990s KraftMaid Vantage kitchen where the boxes were still square but the painted maple doors had checked and the original hinges were seizing from blown sand. We refaced the uppers and lowers with new full-overlay doors, upgraded to soft-close OEM-style hinges, and dropped in a quartz island top – after the owner got ARC sign-off on the door color to match the community palette. The cabinets stayed; the worn doors and hardware left. That’s the difference working in a master-planned lake community from the start builds: we know what the committee will push back on, and we plan for it before the first cabinet comes down.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Silver Lakes
We service all three main KraftMaid lines we see in Spring Valley Lake, Silver Lakes, and nearby kitchens. The Passport Series – door-and-drawer refacing and entry-level full-overlay cabinetry – shows up in smaller 1990s kitchens and rental flips. The Vantage Series, with plywood boxes and semi-custom layouts, is the workhorse of 1990s and 2000s homes around the golf course. The Waypoint Series, known for painted and glazed finishes, appears in more recent remodels. We also handle upgraded full-access and soft-close drawer systems on newer KraftMaid builds. Our approach is simple: use OEM KraftMaid hinges, drawer boxes, and touch-up finish where the box is sound, and match-quality aftermarket soft-close hardware when OEM lead times would stall a Silver Lakes job for weeks. We keep common hardware stocked for fast turnaround.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Silver Lakes
Yes. In Silver Lakes, the ARC must approve cabinet color, door style, and countertop material before any remodel touches visible exterior or window-adjacent casework. We prepare the submittal package with finish samples and door profiles so your review moves quickly. Call (866) 253-5808 and we’ll walk you through the process.
Almost never. In most Silver Lakes kitchens we see, the KraftMaid boxes are still square while the hinges, glides, and drawer boxes have worn out from blown sand and years of use. Re-hinging and refacing usually costs a third of replacement and gives you another 15 years. The only time full replacement makes sense is when the boxes themselves are water-damaged or badly out of square.
That’s the sun wall. In Silver Lakes, the kitchen wall that takes direct afternoon UV and 100°F-plus heat dries out painted MDF and maple doors, causing hairline cracks at panel joints and paint lifting at the stiles. The other walls stay stable. We reface that run and adjust the finish to better handle the exposure.
Yes, and we recommend it when the boxes are sound. We replace doors, drawer fronts, hinges, and drawer boxes with OEM KraftMaid or match-quality hardware, and we’ll match the finish to the community palette the ARC requires. Refacing preserves your kitchen footprint and runs thousands less than new boxes.
For a reface with new doors and hardware, plan $4,000 to $13,000. A full kitchen remodel with new KraftMaid boxes, quartz or granite tops, and island work typically lands between $14,000 and $45,000 in Silver Lakes. Call (866) 253-5808 for a free line-item estimate on your specific kitchen.
