KraftMaid Construction in Colma, CA | San Bruno Construction
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and full kitchen construction across Colma, and the thing that sets our work here apart is knowing this town’s permit clock. A kitchen remodel in Daly City moves on one schedule; a KraftMaid kitchen in Colma moves on another when the project touches a cemetery-adjacent property line and triggers historic-resource review. We build that extra review window into every quote. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate.
We are KraftMaid sales & service specialists in the sense that we live with these cabinets every day. We install them, reface them, repair them, and replace them when the box is no longer square. We are not KraftMaid-authorized and we do not pretend to be. What we are is a full-scope general contractor that has specified KraftMaid door styles, matched profiles, and swapped OEM hardware across San Mateo County for years. If you are in Colma and your KraftMaid kitchen needs work, we are the crew that knows what the fog does to thermofoil and how the cemetery-permit layer shapes your project.
Why Colma Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
Most crews can hang a cabinet. Fewer can tell you that a full-overlay KraftMaid door sagging on a soft-close hinge is a humidity-cycle problem, not a hinge problem. And fewer still have pulled permits at Colma Town Hall enough times to know when a kitchen project is going to get an extra historic-resource review because the property sits near a columbarium or memorial wall in the 94015 ZIP. That combination is what we bring.
Noel Carvalho, owner of San Bruno Construction, grew up off El Camino Real in San Bruno and trained in construction technology at Skyline College, where he learned to read plans and think through load paths before a tool comes out of the truck. Over the past two-plus decades he has run residential projects across San Mateo County, including KraftMaid in Daly City and along the Colma-Daly City border. When we say we know how a permit clock runs in Colma, that is experience talking, not a guess.
We keep our KraftMaid work independent. We use OEM hinges, slides, and door replacements when the current line still carries the door style, and we move to honest aftermarket hardware when OEM lead time or cost does not make sense. For Colma’s fog-belt damp, that means a Blum-style soft-close swap is sometimes the smarter call than waiting six weeks for an OEM part that will fail the same way in the same moisture. We will tell you which is which.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Colma
- Thermofoil delamination on doors and end panels. Colma sits in the fog belt just east of the Pacific, and that persistent damp does real work on adhesive films. We regularly see KraftMaid Vantage thermofoil peeling at the bottom rail and edges, especially near sinks and tubs where moisture cycles are the worst.
- Painted and glazed maple finish micro-cracking and yellowing. KraftMaid Delanne maple doors and drawer fronts take a beating in damp, low-sunlight winters. Homeowners often think they need a full repaint; sometimes the finish just needs a re-glaze and reseal to match the rest of the run.
- Face-framing blisters on painted boxes. Moisture cycling in Colma’s cool, wet months gets into the paint film and lifts it. This is a refinish job on the face frame, not a cabinet replacement, and we treat it that way.
- Swollen MDF toe kicks and sink bases. Slow fog-zone leaks are the culprit. A homeowner does not notice the leak until the cabinet floor loses its joint and the toe kick has swelled. If the box is sound, we reface and re-hinge; if the sink base has lost joint integrity, we replace that box and keep the doors.
- Worn soft-close hinges and sagging drawer slides under full-overlay doors. Years of coastal-humidity cycling take their toll on hardware. We re-drill and swap slides and hinges rather than replace boxes, which saves real money on a Colma kitchen.
KraftMaid Service in Colma: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is the thing about Colma that does not apply to Burlingame or Millbrae: the town’s entire land use is cemeteries. That shapes every construction project here, including KraftMaid kitchens and the tile roofs that cover them. Any project that touches a cemetery-adjacent property line triggers historic-resource review and neighbor notification on top of the standard permit. A KraftMaid cabinet installation or roof replacement that would take weeks in adjacent KraftMaid service in South San Francisco or Daly City can stretch for months in Colma, not because the work is harder, but because the review clock is longer. We build that extra window into every quote so the schedule we give you is the schedule that actually happens. In the fog-belt damp, that review window also matters for materials: you do not want a cabinet box sitting in a damp garage waiting for permit clearance that takes three months. We sequence deliveries around the permit clock, not the other way around.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Colma
We work on the KraftMaid line families most common in Colma’s mid-century homes and multifamily housing. That includes the Vantage series, a builder-grade all-plywood box with thermofoil or painted doors that shows up constantly in split-levels along the Daly City border. We also service Delanne maple, with its painted or glazed full-overlay doors, and Marquina raised-panel maple or stained doors. For mid-century-to-modern retrofits, we spec KraftMaid Illume or Concerto door styles when the original line is discontinued. Parts approach: OEM KraftMaid hinges, slides, and door or drawer replacements when available in the current line; Blum-style aftermarket soft-close and frameless glass when OEM lead time is unreasonable. On a damp Colma cabinet, if the box is square we reface and re-hinge. If the sink base or toe kick has swelled past the point of joint integrity, we replace that box and keep the doors. Replacement is the call only when the carcass is no longer square.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Colma
A KraftMaid cabinet installation in Colma typically falls between $4,000 and $13,000 depending on kitchen size, door style, and whether we are doing a straight swap or a reface. A reface is usually the lower end of that range; full replacement of boxes and doors is higher. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free written quote.
No, and that is by design. We are an independent general contractor that works on KraftMaid cabinetry and surrounding construction. We are not manufacturer-affiliated, which means we can spec the right OEM part when it makes sense and an honest aftermarket alternative when it does not.
Both, and we will tell you which is which before we order. OEM hinges, slides, and door or drawer replacements come first when they are available in the current line. When OEM lead time or cost does not make sense, we use Blum-style soft-close hardware and frameless glass that hold up better in Colma’s fog-belt humidity.
That depends on your property’s location. In most of Colma, a cabinet reface or installation runs on a standard schedule. But if your home sits near a cemetery-adjacent property line, historic-resource review and neighbor notification can add weeks or months to the permit clock. We build that into the quote from the start so you are not caught off guard. Call (866) 472-1908 and we will give you a realistic timeline for your specific address.
We service the Vantage, Delanne, and Marquina lines most common in Colma’s housing stock, plus Illume and Concerto door styles for retrofits. If you have a discontinued style, we can usually match profiles with a current line or reface the entire run to match.
