KraftMaid Kitchen Remodeling: The Miami Owner’s Guide
KraftMaid kitchen remodeling in Miami typically costs between $16,520 and $53,100 depending on cabinet count, layout changes, and finish level. Mason Remodeling Co Miami stocks KraftMaid-compatible hardware, hinges, drawer slides, and replacement doors, and we install full KraftMaid cabinet systems with written pricing before any work starts. Most Miami homeowners call us after a hinge gives out mid-dinner or a drawer slide snaps on a Saturday, but the deeper issue is usually the same: Florida humidity has been working on the cabinet boxes for years, and the part that failed is just the first thing to say so.
Key Takeaways
- Full KraftMaid kitchen remodels in Miami run $16,520 – $53,100; small kitchens start around $10,620.
- We match KraftMaid parts by model number, hinge stamp, and door overlay measurement, not by guesswork.
- Cabinet installation alone runs $4,720 – $15,340, and countertop installation runs $2,360 – $7,670.
- Every job gets a written price before tools are unpacked, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise after completion.
- Call (850) 780-8123 and a live person answers. No phone tree, no voicemail, any hour.
Which KraftMaid Models This Applies To
KraftMaid has built cabinets under several series lines over the years, and Miami homes hold examples of most of them. The common ones we match parts for include the standard KraftMaid line, KraftMaid Vantage, and newer Veer models, plus a long run of semi-custom configurations sold through big-box stores and independent kitchen dealers. The hinge stamp matters more than the cabinet series. Most KraftMaid doors from the last 20 years use a 35mm cup hinge with either a face-frame plate or a frameless plate, and the overlay (how far the door covers the cabinet face) is usually half-inch or full overlay. If you have a half-inch overlay hinge and someone installs a full-overlay hinge, the door will not sit right, and it will wear out the new hinge within a year.
We pull the model code from the sticker inside the sink base cabinet or the top drawer box. KraftMaid stamps a manufacturing date and cabinet code there, and that tells us which hardware generation we’re matching. We use OEM KraftMaid hardware where it’s available, and we’re honest when a quality aftermarket equivalent, like Blum or Salice hinges, will outlast the original at a better price. KraftMaid is a cabinet manufacturer, not a hardware maker, so the hinge on your door was made by a hardware supplier to KraftMaid’s spec. That means the aftermarket option is often the same hinge without the cabinet-brand markup. We’re an independent Miami contractor, not affiliated with KraftMaid, so we stock both and recommend whichever holds up better in South Florida humidity.

Signs Your KraftMaid Kitchen Remodeling Is Failing
- A door hangs crooked or won’t close flush. The hinge has worn or the mounting screw has stripped out of the cabinet box. In Miami’s humidity, particleboard boxes swell and screws lose their bite.
- A drawer sticks halfway or drops on one side. The drawer slide has bent or a ball bearing has blown out. KraftMaid’s older side-mount slides were decent, but years of salt air and a heavy utensil drawer will find the weak one.
- The laminate edge is peeling on a door or drawer front. Heat and moisture from cooking, plus Miami’s ambient humidity, work the adhesive loose. Once it starts, it keeps going until the panel is re-edged or replaced.
- The soft-close no longer soft-closes. The damper inside the hinge has failed. It’s a $4 part, but the labor to swap 30 of them across a kitchen is the real cost.
- Cabinet boxes are swelling at the toe kick or sink base. This is the structural one. Once the box has absorbed enough moisture to swell, individual part replacement stops making sense and you’re into remodel territory.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
In Miami, you’re looking at three tiers. Parts-only hardware replacement, hinges, slides, and dampers, usually runs $300 – $900 installed depending on how many doors and drawers are involved. Cabinet installation, meaning we’re pulling old boxes and setting new KraftMaid cabinets, runs $4,720 – $15,340. A full KraftMaid kitchen remodel with layout changes, countertops, backsplash, and island work runs $16,520 – $53,100, which is the range most Miami homeowners land in when they call us. Small kitchens start around $10,620 and go to $23,600.
Every number we quote is a written, line-item price before any work starts. You’ll see the parts cost, the labor cost, and the schedule. No verbal estimates that grow on the final bill. The work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right within a year of completion, we make it right at no charge. Isaac Pruett has been reading Miami job sites for well over a decade, including plenty of work in Coconut Grove, and his quote is the number he finishes at.
DIY or Call Us?
Swapping a hinge or a drawer slide on a KraftMaid cabinet is not dangerous. It’s a screwdriver job, and if you’re comfortable matching the hole pattern and the overlay, you can absolutely do it. What goes wrong in Miami homes is the half-inch versus full-overlay mismatch I mentioned, or a stripped screw hole in a swollen particleboard box that now needs a dowel and wood glue before the new screw will hold. If the box is swollen or the door is peeling, DIY stops being a Saturday project.
We also run into a lot of “quick fixes” where someone’s cousin replaced a hinge with whatever was at the hardware store, and now the door sits proud and the soft-close is gone entirely. That’s the job we end up fixing. If you want it matched right the first time, call (850) 780-8123. We’ll tell you what it costs before anyone picks up a screwdriver.
FAQs
KraftMaid cabinet boxes and doors typically last 15 – 25 years in Miami’s climate, but hinges and slides usually need attention at the 7 – 10 year mark. Humidity shortens the lifespan of particleboard boxes more than anything else, especially at the sink base. If your boxes are solid, we can extend the kitchen’s life with new hardware and refacing. Call (850) 780-8123 for an honest assessment.
Most of the time, no. A blown damper or a bent slide is a replacement part, not a repair, and in Miami the rust and wear make repair even less practical. The good news is that replacement hardware is inexpensive, and we stock common KraftMaid-compatible parts on the truck. Call (850) 780-8123 and describe what failed, and we’ll tell you over the phone whether we have it.
A full KraftMaid kitchen remodel in Miami typically runs 3 – 7 weeks from tear-out to final walkthrough, depending on layout changes, countertop fabrication, and permitting. Cabinet-only installation runs 3 – 7 days. We’ll put the schedule in writing with your price, and Isaac Pruett finishes within the schedule he quoted. Call (850) 780-8123 for a free estimate.
We stock common KraftMaid-compatible hinges, slides, dampers, and mounting hardware on our trucks, so most hardware-only jobs are done in one visit. For doors, drawer fronts, and full cabinet lines, we order through our specification-grade cabinetry partnerships, which include KraftMaid and Wellborn. We also stock parts for Cambria, Silestone, and Kohler. Call (850) 780-8123 with your cabinet code and we’ll tell you what we have on hand.
