Call (786) 321-4970 to schedule your free estimate.
We’re not a KraftMaid dealer or authorized representative. We’re an independent construction team that knows how this brand’s materials behave in Miami’s salt air and year-round humidity. That independence means our only obligation is to your kitchen, not to selling you a new product line. We’ve rebuilt swollen KraftMaid Select boxes under sinks in Little Havana, rehinged delaminating thermofoil doors in Brickell condos, and anchored pulling uppers into concrete-block walls in Westchester where the original installer used drywall anchors on CBS construction. Miami’s climate is hard on cabinets. KraftMaid’s particleboard and MDF carcasses absorb moisture that would dry out in a northern winter. We know where the failures start and how to fix them so they don’t repeat.
Why Trust Rowan Construction Group Miami for Your KraftMaid Construction?
Grant Rowan learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, spent two years in the building construction program, then ran crews in South Florida for over a decade - from gut renovations in Coconut Grove to new commercial builds across Miami-Dade. He keeps schedules tight and scopes written in plain language. That background shows up in how our KraftMaid jobs are structured.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on KraftMaid’s specific product families. We stock OEM KraftMaid hinges, glides, and shelf clips, plus quality aftermarket Blum and Grass hardware for when original parts are back-ordered or discontinued. Every visit includes a documented photo record as standard - not an upgrade - so you see what we found and what we did.
Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, the price is written before anyone picks up a tool. Under the 365-Day Done Right Promise, if it’s not done right, we make it right. We’ve delivered over 4,000 projects since 2007, every one with a written price before work started and a documented record when the crew left. Measure twice, write it down, then build it.
Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Fix in Miami

- Swollen particleboard and MDF carcasses in Select and older Vantage series. Miami’s year-round humidity wicks moisture into KraftMaid’s entry-level and legacy framed boxes, especially under sinks and dishwashers where leaks and condensation pool. The bottom rails swell, the toe kicks crumble, and the cabinet loses structural integrity. We see this most in pre-2000 Miami homes in Allapattah and West Flagler where the original install didn’t include waterproof kick plates or sealed edges. Our fix: rebuild the wet zone with exterior-grade plywood boxes, keep the existing doors if they’re sound, and reseal all exposed edges with marine-grade sealant.
- Thermofoil and veneer door faces blistering at the edges. KraftMaid’s thermofoil doors - common in Vantage and Select lines - separate from their MDF substrate when exposed to sustained heat and humidity. In tight Miami kitchens where the range hood vents poorly or the wall oven radiates against adjacent cabinets, the adhesive fails and the vinyl face peels back. We’ve replaced dozens of these in Coral Way colonials and Brickell studios. The repair is matching new door fronts, not a full cabinet replacement, and upgrading the ventilation path so the new faces don’t suffer the same fate.
- Soft-close hinge and glide failure from salt-air exposure. KraftMaid’s Blum-style hardware corrodes faster in coastal Miami condos than the manufacturer specs suggest. The hydraulic cylinders leak, the steel pins rust, and doors hang open or slam shut. We replace with OEM KraftMaid hardware where available, or with Blum or Grass equivalents rated for marine environments when the original part is obsolete. In Aventura high-rises and Miami Beach apartments, we spec stainless or polymer components that outlast the factory standard.
- Uppers pulling from concrete-block walls. Miami’s CBS construction demands masonry anchors, not drywall screws, for cabinet installation. We regularly find KraftMaid uppers in Westchester and Little Havana sagging or pulling away because the original installer treated the block wall like wood frame. The fix is removing the cabinets, filling the stripped holes with structural epoxy, and re-anchoring with Tapcon or wedge anchors rated for the load. We document the anchor pattern in our photo record so you know it’s done to spec.
- Quartz or granite countertop stress on weakened bases. Heavy stone slabs over humidity-damaged KraftMaid boxes create a compounding problem: the compromised carcass settles, the countertop cracks at the seam, and the backsplash separates from the wall. We see this in Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay kitchens where owners added stone to existing cabinets without checking the box condition. Our approach is assess the base first, rebuild or sister the damaged cabinets, then set the stone - in that order, always.

AfterKraftMaid Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We use OEM KraftMaid replacement parts - hinges, glides, shelf clips, toe kicks, and matching door fronts - when the original hardware is still serviceable and the lead time is reasonable. When KraftMaid discontinues a part or the backlog stretches past what your kitchen can tolerate, we source quality aftermarket Blum or Grass equivalents with equivalent or better specs. We’ve built relationships with Miami-area suppliers who stock hardware rated for salt-air exposure, so we’re not waiting on freight from Ohio while your cabinets hang open.
Because Miami’s humidity attacks boxes more than doors, we often tell owners to replace damaged carcasses and keep good door fronts. A full KraftMaid replacement runs $15,000-plus and sends usable materials to landfill. A targeted rebuild of the wet zones, with new plywood boxes and retained original doors, typically costs a third of that and solves the actual problem. We’ll show you the difference in our written quote, line by line, before you decide. Call (786) 321-4970 for a free estimate - we’ll inspect the boxes and give you an honest repair-vs-replace number.
Our KraftMaid Service Process - Step by Step

- 1
Diagnosis with moisture mapping. We inspect every KraftMaid cabinet for swelling, delamination, and hardware failure, using a moisture meter on suspect boxes and documenting findings with photos. In Miami, we pay special attention to sink bases, dishwasher adjacents, and any cabinet within 18 inches of a cooking surface - the three zones where humidity and heat concentrate.
- 2
Written scope and flat price. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, you receive a written quote with line-item costs for parts, labor, and materials before any work proceeds. No call-for-pricing, no verbal estimates, no surprises. The quote includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
- 3
Repair or rebuild with KraftMaid-compatible materials. We rebuild damaged carcasses with exterior-grade plywood, install OEM or equivalent hardware, and match replacement door fronts to existing KraftMaid profiles where possible. Every anchor into Miami’s concrete-block walls uses masonry-rated fasteners, not drywall screws.
- 4
Countertop reset and seal. For jobs involving stone or quartz, we verify the rebuilt base is level and load-capable before setting the slab. Backsplashes are sealed with mold-resistant silicone rated for wet locations - standard in Miami, not an upsell.
- 5
Function test and photo documentation. Every door, drawer, and hinge is cycled. The documented photo record - included as standard - shows before condition, anchor locations, hardware specs, and finished work. You leave with evidence, not just a handshake.
- 6
Warranty registration. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers workmanship and materials. If a rebuilt box swells or a replaced hinge fails within the year, we fix it at no charge. The terms are printed, not implied.
KraftMaid Products We Service & Install in Miami
We work across KraftMaid’s full residential line: Vantage framed oak and maple door styles, Momentum frameless full-access boxes, Premium plywood-box soft-close dovetail drawer lines, and Select entry-level MDF and particleboard carcasses. We stock replacement hardware for all four series locally, plus moisture-resistant plywood for rebuilds. For new installs, we source KraftMaid boxes and doors through independent distributors and verify every component meets Miami-Dade’s product-approval requirements where applicable - a step out-of-state contractors often miss.

FAQs - KraftMaid Construction Service in Miami
No. We are an independent KraftMaid service provider, not a dealer or authorized representative. Our crew installs, repairs, and refaces KraftMaid cabinetry based on hands-on experience with the product in Miami’s climate, not manufacturer certification. This independence means we can mix OEM and quality aftermarket parts, recommend repair over replacement when it saves you money, and source materials from multiple distributors to avoid back-order delays. Call (786) 321-4970 to discuss your project.
Yes. This is our most common KraftMaid repair in Miami. We rebuild damaged base cabinets with exterior-grade plywood boxes, retain the existing door fronts if they’re structurally sound, and match new doors only where the originals are delaminated or beyond repair. A Kraftmaid in Miami Beach homeowner’s 2014 KraftMaid Vantage kitchen had swollen particleboard boxes under the sink and two thermofoil doors delaminating above the range. We rebuilt the wet base cabinets with exterior-grade plywood boxes, refaced the uppers with matching KraftMaid shaker doors, and reset the quartz countertop over the new carcasses. The kitchen now handles Miami’s humidity the way the original install should have. Call (786) 321-4970 for a free inspection.
Thermofoil and veneer door faces separate from their MDF substrate when exposed to sustained heat and humidity, which is exactly what happens in tight Miami kitchens with poor ventilation. The range hood or wall oven radiates against adjacent cabinets, the adhesive softens, and the vinyl face peels back at the edges. This is a material limitation of KraftMaid’s entry-level and mid-grade door options, not an installation defect. We replace with matching or upgraded door fronts and address the ventilation path so the problem doesn’t repeat. Call (786) 321-4970 to schedule an assessment.
KraftMaid’s Premium series plywood boxes perform comparably to other mid-to-upper-tier brands in Miami’s climate. The Select series and older Vantage particleboard boxes do not - they absorb moisture and swell, especially in sink bases and dishwasher adjacencies. The difference is the substrate, not the brand. We recommend exterior-grade plywood for any rebuild or new install in Miami, regardless of manufacturer. If you own KraftMaid Construction in Brownsville, FL Select or Vantage with swelling damage, targeted rebuilding is usually more cost-effective than full replacement. Call (786) 321-4970 for a written quote.
Heavy stone slabs stress weakened cabinets, but the damage is usually already present before the stone goes on. If your KraftMaid boxes are moisture-damaged or undersized for the load, the added weight accelerates settling, which cracks seams and separates backsplashes. We inspect the base structure before any countertop installation and rebuild compromised carcasses as needed. The stone installation itself, done correctly with proper support and leveling, does not damage sound cabinets. Call (786) 321-4970 for a pre-installation assessment - estimates are free.
We use masonry-rated Tapcon or wedge anchors, never drywall screws, for every upper cabinet in Miami’s CBS construction. The original installer may have skipped this step, which is why we see pulling and sagging in Westchester, Little Havana, and similar neighborhoods. Our crew locates the block courses with a stud finder calibrated for masonry, drills with a hammer drill, and sets anchors at the manufacturer’s specified spacing - typically two per wall cabinet side, plus one at the top rail. We document the anchor pattern in your photo record. This is standard procedure, not an upgrade. Call (786) 321-4970 to schedule.
