AfterKraftMaid Construction in Dallas, CA | Rowan Construction Group
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and full kitchen remodeling across Dallas, including Kraftmaid in Irving. What makes our KraftMaid work here different comes down to one thing: we understand how Blackland Prairie clay moves under a house and what that movement does to cabinet frames, drawer glides, and door hinges over time. If you’re planning a KraftMaid kitchen in Dallas, call (470) 298-9650 for a written price before anyone picks up a tool.
Rowan Construction Group has installed and serviced KraftMaid cabinetry since 2007, and our crews know the Vantage, Benton, Durham, and Hadley lines well enough to repair or refit them correctly after foundation work. We’re an independent contractor, not a manufacturer-authorized service provider, which means we make repair-versus-replace calls based on what’s actually square and sound in your kitchen, not on a corporate service script. Read more about our KraftMaid sales & service approach.
Why Dallas Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
KraftMaid cabinets are built with All Plywood Construction and ClimateGuard finishes, which hold up better than most in Dallas’s swing between 100°F summers and sudden Gulf moisture. But even the best cabinet box can’t stay square when the floor under it heaves 2 inches. That’s the specific problem we solve. Grant Rowan, our owner, trained in construction technology at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, and the work we’re most often called back for is the kind where walls come down, load paths get recalculated, and cabinets get remounted so they actually close.
We source genuine KraftMaid hinges, drawer glides, and touch-up kits directly from the manufacturer’s consumer parts channel. For discontinued door profiles, we use high-quality aftermarket doors matched for grain and color. Our techs arrive background-checked and uniformed, and every visit includes a documented photo record so you leave with evidence of what we found and what we did. We cover the full Dallas service area from East Dallas to Preston Hollow.
Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Dallas
- Face-frame joints loosening on pier-and-beam homes. In 1920s-1950s bungalows across East Dallas and Oak Cliff, seasonal clay movement shifts the floor structure enough to rack cabinet frames and open hairline cracks at the joints. We re-square the box and reinforce the frame before remounting.
- Drawer glides binding after slab heave. A 1-2 inch heave is common in Lake Highlands and Preston Hollow remodels, and that’s enough to bind drawer glides and rack a box out of square. We level the cabinet run and replace the glides rather than forcing a shim job that will fail again.
- Thermofoil delamination in unconditioned remodels. Dallas summer humidity is brutal. When a post-war ranch kitchen sits without AC during teardown phase, thermofoil doors delaminate at the edges. We recommend door replacement or refacing with the right material for your climate.
- Hinges stripped out of particleboard stiles. Older KraftMaid lines used particleboard stiles, and repeated door adjustments to compensate for cabinet racking eventually strip the hinge screws. We drill, fill, and remount with proper anchors, or replace the door if the stile is too far gone.
- Seam splitting in countertops above racked cabinets. When the cabinet box torques, the countertop above it flexes and the seam opens. We address the cabinet first, then reset or replace the countertop section. Treating the countertop without fixing the cabinet is wasted money.
BeforeAfterKraftMaid Service in Dallas: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Dallas is the only major Texas metro where an 8-12 foot deep drilled concrete pier system, running $40,000-$70,000, is a standard line item before a KraftMaid kitchen remodel even gets drawn. The Blackland Prairie clay heaves 3-4 inches seasonally, and a newly installed cabinet run will tear apart within a year if the slab isn’t stabilized first. In Austin, you’re building on limestone bedrock. In Houston, it’s a different clay composition. In Fort Worth, transitional geology. And for Fence Installation in Dallas, the same soil movement issues apply. Here, the soil itself is the variable every cabinet installer has to plan around. Our crew was called to a 1948 brick bungalow in the M Streets after the homeowner noticed a KraftMaid Vantage base cabinet door suddenly swinging open at night. The slab had heaved 2 inches over a dry summer, racking the cabinet box so badly the door hinge plates were almost 1/4 inch out of plane. We pulled the run, re-leveled the toe-kick, installed adjustable legs, and remounted the doors, then referred the client to a foundation contractor for pier work before any further cabinet adjustment. Measure twice, say it once, show your work.
What this means for your KraftMaid investment: before we hang a single cabinet, we check the floor for level and look for signs of active movement. If the slab or pier-and-beam foundation is still moving, cabinet installation is premature. We tell you that plainly and in writing.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Dallas
We install and service the full current KraftMaid lineup: Vantage, Benton, Durham, and Hadley. For each line, we carry the correct hinge plates, glide hardware, and finish touch-up kits locally for fast Dallas turnaround. For discontinued door profiles like the older Madison line, we source aftermarket replacements matched for grain pattern, color, and edge profile. Our repair stance is honest: given Dallas’s foundation movement, we often recommend replacing a racked cabinet box rather than repeatedly shimming and adjusting a box that has already lost its square. A new box installed on a stable base outperforms a shimmed one every time.

FAQs - KraftMaid Construction in Dallas
No. Even All Plywood Construction can’t stay square when the slab beneath it moves 2-3 inches. The cabinet box will rack, doors will bind, and seams will open. Foundation stabilization comes first. Call (470) 298-9650 if you’re not sure whether your foundation is stable enough for a cabinet install.
Yes, in most cases. We source aftermarket doors matched for grain, color, and edge profile. The match isn’t always perfect on 15-year-old finishes, so we’ll show you a sample before we order. If the existing boxes are still square, a reface is often the more economical route. Call (470) 298-9650 for a free estimate.
Thermofoil delaminates at the edges when it’s exposed to prolonged heat and humidity, which is exactly what happens in a Dallas summer remodel with no AC. We typically recommend replacing the affected doors with painted or wood-veneer doors rather than re-gluing thermofoil, which rarely holds. Call (470) 298-9650 to have us look at the damage.
Possibly. If the slab or pier-and-beam foundation moves during the first seasonal cycle, doors and drawers can shift slightly. We install with adjustable legs and leave adjustment points accessible so any realignment is a quick service call, not a re-install. That adjustment is covered under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Yes. If the cabinet boxes are still square and the face frames are sound, refacing with new doors, drawer fronts, and veneer is often 40-60% cheaper than a full replacement. We’ll open the boxes, check for racking, and give you a written recommendation either way. Call (470) 298-9650 for a free estimate.
