KraftMaid Bathroom Remodeling: The Los Angeles Owner’s Guide

If your KraftMaid bathroom vanity, cabinet door, drawer glide, or hinge has failed, we can match the part, quote the installed price on the spot, and usually complete the repair or swap in a single visit. A typical KraftMaid bathroom component replacement or targeted remodel in Los Angeles runs $10,620 – $33,040 depending on scope, from a single vanity replacement to a full wet-area gut. You’ll know the number before we open a single box. Most Los Angeles homeowners discover the problem the hard way: a drawer that won’t close, a door that sags two degrees lower than it did last year, or water swelling the cabinet base under the sink. KraftMaid cabinetry is well built, but Los Angeles tap water is hard, bathroom humidity runs high, and a leak at the supply line or p-trap that goes unnoticed for a few weeks will destroy even a plywood cabinet box.

We’re an independent Los Angeles remodeling contractor. We are not affiliated with KraftMaid or its parent company. What we are is a team that has installed and repaired enough KraftMaid cabinetry across the Valley, the Westside, and into the San Gabriel foothills to know exactly which parts fail first and what it costs to make the bathroom right again.

Which KraftMaid Models This Applies To

KraftMaid builds bathroom cabinetry across several product lines, and the parts are not interchangeable just because the door looks similar. The three you’ll most likely have in a Los Angeles home are the Vantage, Venicia, and KraftMaid Core (often sold through big-box retailers). Vantage uses a full-access frameless construction with tighter reveals and different hinge mounting than the framed lines. Venicia is the higher-end semi-custom line, and its drawer boxes are dovetailed maple with soft-close under-mount glides. Core is the most common in tract homes and condos across Los Angeles, and it typically uses face-frame construction with standard overlay doors.

The fastest way to identify what you have is to look inside the cabinet door or on the drawer box side. KraftMaid stamps or labels the cabinet with a manufacturing code that includes the series, finish, and door style. If the label is gone, measure the hinge cup diameter: Vantage and Venicia typically run 35mm, while some older Core cabinets used a stepped 40mm cup that aftermarket hinges won’t match. We keep a caliper on the truck for exactly this reason. If you can text us a photo of the hinge, the drawer glide, and the cabinet interior label, we can usually tell you before we arrive whether this is a stocked part or a 3-day factory order.

We also work around KraftMaid bathroom cabinetry paired with Cambria, Silestone, and Kohler fixtures, so if the vanity top or sink needs to come out to reach the cabinet, we’re already familiar with how those products tie together.

Signs Your KraftMaid Bathroom Remodeling Is Failing

• Soft-close drawers that slam shut or bounce back open. The under-mount glide’s damper has worn out or a mounting clip snapped. KraftMaid uses Blum or Grass glides on most lines; the glide can be replaced without touching the drawer box itself in most cases.
• A door that sags and scrapes the cabinet frame. The hinge has bent or the mounting screw holes in the particleboard side panel have stripped. Los Angeles’s dry-summer, damp-winter cycle accelerates screw-hole wallowing in older cabinets because the particleboard expands and contracts.
• Swelling or dark staining at the vanity base or toe kick. This is water damage, not a part failure in the mechanical sense. A slow supply-line drip or a p-trap that loosened under the sink has been wicking into the cabinet box. MDF and particleboard don’t recover; the affected panel needs to be replaced or the whole vanity swapped.
• Drawer front separating from the drawer box. KraftMaid fastens drawer fronts to the box with screws and adhesive. In a bathroom, aggressive humidity swings eventually cause the adhesive to shear. This is repairable with new fasteners and construction adhesive if caught early.
• Finish bubbling or peeling at the lower cabinet edges. Moisture is getting behind the finish. In Los Angeles bathrooms without proper exhaust fans, this shows up within 3 – 5 years on white-painted KraftMaid doors. Refinishing is rarely worth it compared to a new door front.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

A single KraftMaid replacement door or drawer front in Los Angeles typically runs $95 – $350 installed, depending on finish matching and the line. Replacing all hinges and glides on a double-sink vanity usually lands between $400 – $1,200. A full vanity replacement, including the cabinet, top, faucet, and plumbing reconnect, runs $2,360 – $7,670. If the water damage spread into the drywall or the floor framing, that’s when costs climb toward the $10,620 – $33,040 full bathroom remodel range because we’re now pulling tile, correcting substrate, and rebuilding the wet area properly.

Here’s what the numbers look like in Los Angeles:

Every one of those numbers arrives in writing before work starts. You get a line-item price, not a range-then-surprise. The work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the repair or install fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That promise is written into every project agreement we sign in Los Angeles.

DIY or Call Us?

Some things you can safely check yourself. If a drawer is sticking, pull it out and look for a loose mounting clip on the glide. If a door is sagging, check whether the hinge screws have backed out. Those are five-minute fixes with a Phillips screwdriver. What you should not do is attempt to remove a water-swollen vanity base, relocate plumbing, or replace a countertop that’s sealed to the cabinet. You can crack a cast-iron sink, strip a supply line, or send water into the wall cavity behind the cabinet. That last one is the expensive mistake we see again and again in older Los Angeles bathrooms where the shutoff valves are original to the house.

If the damage is behind the cabinet, under the tile, or anywhere water has touched the framing, call us. Trevor Nash will tell you the same thing he tells every client on the first call: “Give me the whole picture first, then we pick up the tools.” Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll walk through what you’re seeing, tell you what it likely costs, and schedule a visit if you want a written quote.
