Ameristar Construction in Ontario, CA | San Bruno Construction
We’re San Bruno Construction, an independent Ameristar service provider covering Ontario and nearby communities like Ameristar service in Montclair, and we handle cabinet installation, refacing, countertops, and small kitchen remodels for Ameristar-equipped homes across the 91762, 91764, 91798, and 91758 ZIP codes. What makes our Ameristar work different in Ontario is that we know how this city’s inland heat, slab moisture, and buried agricultural piping affect cabinet runs built for other climates. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes sense.
Why Ontario Residents Choose Us for Ameristar Service
We’ve pulled apart and rebuilt enough Ameristar kitchens in Ontario to know the difference between a hinge that needs tightening and a cabinet box that’s wicking moisture through the slab. That familiarity means we don’t waste your time rebracing a cabinet that should be replaced, and we don’t tear out a run that only needs new door faces and drawer glides. Noel Carvalho, owner at San Bruno Construction, trained in construction technology at Skyline College and has spent decades reading how materials fail in real rooms, not just on spec sheets. We’re local to the Inland Empire and we coordinate all the trades on your Ameristar job, so one team handles the cabinet pull, the countertop template, the backsplash, and the plumbing reset. You can read more about our Ameristar sales & service approach, or call (866) 472-1908 to talk to a human who has actually worked on Ameristar cabinets in Ontario.

Common Ameristar Construction Problems We Solve in Ontario
- Finish delamination along lower cabinet faces. Ontario’s dry summers run six-plus months, and when indoor humidity drops, the laminate finish on Ameristar value-tier cabinets starts peeling at the seams near the dishwasher and along the toekick line. We replace the affected doors and drawer fronts, or reface the run when the boxes are still sound.
- Swollen toekicks and soft lower panels in 1960s-70s tract homes. Many Ontario homes from that era were built over slab foundations with stucco sidewalls. Slab wicking pulls moisture into the cabinet bases, and we regularly see toekicks that have swollen and started to crumble. This is a rebuild, not a repair, and we plan for it on any Ameristar kitchen demo.
- Racked cabinet doors that rub or won’t close. Original Ameristar cabinets predating the current HVAC return air layout often get pulled out of square as framing settles and the seasonal humidity cycle moves the wood. We re-square the boxes, replace worn hinges with Ameristar-compatible OEM hardware, and reset the door alignment.
- Cracked raised-panel doors at the glue joints. The swing between Santa Ana dry heat and winter rain in inland Ontario stresses the glue joints on Ameristar maple raised-panel doors. We replace the individual doors and refinish the run to match, which costs a fraction of a full tear-out.
- Buried agricultural piping uncovered during cabinet pulls. In Ontario’s older downtown grid and post-WWII tract neighborhoods, the ground was citrus and dairy land before the homes went in. When we pull a cabinet base here, we plan for old ag drain pipe or oil-tank piping that may need rerouting before new cabinets set.
Ameristar Service in Ontario: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Ontario sits over ground that was worked for citrus and dairies long before the first tract homes went up, and that history shows up in your kitchen when we pull the old Ameristar cabinets. In the older downtown grid and the post-WWII neighborhoods, we regularly find buried agricultural piping and old oil-tank lines running under where the cabinet bases sat. That means an Ameristar cabinet job here isn’t just a swap; it’s a chance to get eyes on the slab and the plumbing rough-in while the bases are out. We plan for that extra step on every Ameristar kitchen project in Ontario’s older grid, and we’ll tell you before we start if we expect to find anything under the slab. It’s one of the reasons we quote Ontario cabinet work differently than we would for Ameristar in Upland or other neighboring cities, and it’s why we send someone who knows what to look for, not just someone who can hang boxes.
Ameristar Models & Products We Service in Ontario
We work on the full Ameristar by Masco cabinet lineup you’ll find in Ontario homes: value-tier wood and laminate kitchen cabinets, raised-panel maple and cherry door styles, solid-surface and laminate countertop bundles, and the semi-custom runs spec’d for production and tract builds. When the exact Ameristar hinge, drawer glide, or door component is still available, we source OEM-compatible parts. When Ameristar has discontinued the line, we match with quality aftermarket hardware that fits the existing bore and overlay. For Ontario turnaround, we keep common hinges, glides, and panel stock moving through our Inland Empire suppliers so we’re not waiting on a slow freight order to finish your kitchen. If your design is one of the semi-custom runs, we’ll tell you which pieces are still matchable and which are worth refacing instead.

AfterAmeristar Service Pricing in Ontario
Here’s what Ameristar work in Ontario typically runs, depending on the scope and the condition of what’s already in the walls. These ranges assume a typical Ontario tract kitchen; older downtown homes with buried piping or slab issues may land at the upper end once we account for the prep work.

| Backsplash Installation | $800 – $2,500 |
| Kitchen Island Installation | $3,000 – $10,000 |
What drives the cost in Ontario is the condition of the slab under the cabinets, whether we’re refacing or rebuilding, and the countertop material you choose. Every estimate from us is free, and it includes a written line-item quote so you can see exactly what the prep work, materials, and installation will cost. Call (866) 472-1908 to get your number.

FAQs – Ameristar Construction in Ontario
No. San Bruno Construction is an independent Ameristar service provider. We install and service Ameristar cabinets and countertop packages, and we source OEM-compatible parts when they’re available, but we are not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized by Ameristar. That independence means we’ll tell you straight when repair beats replacement, without a brand rep’s quota in the room.
We use Ameristar-compatible OEM hinges, drawer glides, and door components when the exact style is still available. When Ameristar has discontinued a line, we match with quality aftermarket hardware that fits the existing bore and overlay. We’ll tell you which pieces are OEM and which are matched, and we’ll show you the difference before we install.
Most cabinet refacing or partial rebuild jobs in Ontario run three to five working days once materials are on site. For homeowners seeking Ameristar in San Antonio Heights, full small kitchen remodels with countertops and backsplash typically run two to three weeks, depending on slab prep and any hidden piping work we uncover in the older downtown grid. We’ll give you a written schedule before we start, and we call when the schedule moves. Call (866) 472-1908 for a timeline on your specific job.
We cover the full Ameristar by Masco lineup found in Ontario homes: value-tier wood and laminate kitchen cabinets, raised-panel maple and cherry door styles, solid-surface and laminate countertop bundles, and the semi-custom runs spec’d for production and tract builds. If you have a discontinued Ameristar line, bring us a door sample or a photo of the hinge, and we’ll tell you what’s still matchable.
Refacing a run with delaminated doors typically lands in the $4,000 to $13,000 range, depending on how many boxes need new faces and whether the toekicks are sound. If slab moisture has compromised the cabinet boxes, you’re looking at a partial rebuild closer to the small kitchen remodel range of $9,000 to $20,000. Call (866) 472-1908 for an exact quote after we see the cabinets; the estimate is free.
