KraftMaid Bathroom Remodeling: The Woodland Hills Owner’s Guide
KraftMaid bathroom remodeling in Woodland Hills typically costs $9,000 – $28,000 installed, depending on vanity size, cabinet line, and whether you’re replacing one section or the full bath. We stock KraftMaid-compatible cabinet hardware, drawer glides, hinges, and door fronts on the truck, and we can usually start most Woodland Hills jobs within a week of your written estimate. Most homeowners find us after a drawer drops, a hinge pops loose, or a cabinet face delaminates from years of shower steam.
You don’t need a full gut remodel just because one KraftMaid component gave out. What you need is a straight answer: can the part be matched, what does it cost, and who’s qualified to install it without making the cabinet look patched. That’s what this page covers.
Which KraftMaid Models This Applies To
KraftMaid builds bathroom vanities across several cabinet lines. The current series homeowners bring us most often are the Vantage, Benton, and Durham lines, but we also work on older KraftMaid models from the 1990s and early 2000s that are still in solid structural shape. The cabinet box, the door, the drawer box, and the hardware are separate components, and replacing one rarely means replacing the cabinet shell.
The compatibility gotcha with KraftMaid specifically is finish matching. KraftMaid changes its stain and paint formulas every few years, so a door you order in “Maple Cognac” today may be a shade different from one installed in 2016. We check the cabinet’s manufacturing label, usually on the inside drawer box, to confirm the series and finish code before we order a single part. For hinges and drawer glides, KraftMaid used underslide glides on older vanities and full-extension soft-close glides on newer ones. Mixing them up leaves you with a drawer that sticks every time it closes.
On OEM versus aftermarket: KraftMaid’s OEM hinges and glides carry a manufacturer warranty and match exactly. But quality aftermarket equivalents from Blum and Salice often install cleaner and cost less. For visible parts like door fronts, we recommend OEM. For functional parts like glides, a quality aftermarket substitute is usually the smarter money. We’ll tell you which is which before you spend a dollar.

Signs Your KraftMaid Bathroom Remodeling Is Failing
- Drawer drops or scrapes when opening. The glide has lost its ball bearings or the underslide mount pulled loose from the drawer box. You’ll see fine metal dust under the drawer. The fix is a glide swap, not a new vanity.
- Hinge pops or the door sags 1/4 inch. The hinge’s internal spring is shot, or the door’s hinge cup is wallowed out from steam expansion. Tightening the screws rarely works long-term because the wood fiber behind the cup is already compressed.
- Cabinet face or door edge peeling or swelling. This is moisture ingress, common in Woodland Hills bathrooms without proper bathroom exhaust. KraftMaid’s engineered wood is dense, but once water works into the reveal edge, the face laminate separates. A door replacement is quicker and cheaper than refinishing.
- Soft-close stopped closing softly. The damper inside the hinge or glide has leaked its fluid. Common after five to seven years of daily use. One bad damper will make the drawer slam shut and eventually stress the cabinet face frame.
- Finish fading or yellowing around the vanity top. UV from a skylight or window plus bathroom humidity accelerates clear coat breakdown. This isn’t a cleaning problem. The finish has failed and needs a re-coat or door replacement, not polish.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
For a KraftMaid bathroom remodel in Woodland Hills, the installed price range is $9,000 – $28,000. A single vanity door swap runs $175 – $400. Replacing drawer glides and hinges on a standard 36-inch vanity runs $450 – $900. A full vanity cabinet replacement, including the top and sink, lands between $2,500 and $6,500. The full bathroom remodel range includes everything from a new tub or walk-in shower to tile, fixtures, and KraftMaid cabinetry.
What drives the range: whether the cabinet box is worth saving, whether you’re changing your sink configuration, and how much wall prep the old demo exposes. We’ve been behind enough walls in Woodland Hills homes to know the demo usually reveals something hidden, and our written quote covers it upfront or we tell you before we touch it. Every job comes with a written price before work starts, and our workmanship carries a 365-day guarantee from the completion date.
DIY or Call Us?
A homeowner can safely check the manufacturing label inside the drawer box, remove and measure a drawer front, and identify whether a hinge says “Blum” or “KraftMaid” on the cup. That information saves time when we’re ordering parts. What usually goes wrong in DIY is the reinstallation: a hinge set slightly off-plane leaves a door with a 1/8-inch reveal gap that you’ll see every morning. Adjusting soft-close glides requires setting the clip tolerance correctly or the drawer clicks on every close.
For cabinet work around sinks and water lines, you also risk damaging shutoff valves hidden behind the vanity. We run into that all the time in older Woodland Hills neighborhoods near Warner Center, where valves are often original to the home. Call (831) 290-6866 for a free estimate. We’ll tell you if it’s a part swap or a full cabinet replacement, and the price is in writing before we begin.
FAQs
How long do KraftMaid bathroom cabinets last in Woodland Hills? The cabinet box itself lasts 20 to 30 years if kept dry. Hinges, glides, and door finishes last 5 to 10 years depending on bathroom humidity. Woodland Hills summers are dry, but day-to-day shower steam is what triggers most finish and hardware failures. Call (831) 290-6866 and we’ll match your existing part.
Can my KraftMaid cabinet be repaired instead of replaced? Yes. We repair delaminating door edges, swapped-out glides, sagging hinges, and scratched faces. If the cabinet box is water-damaged or the face frame has pulled apart, replacement costs less than repairing. Call (831) 290-6866 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
How long does a KraftMaid part replacement take? Most hinge and glide replacements take under two hours on site. A door front replacement takes 1 – 2 weeks for KraftMaid to ship the matched part to us, then an hour to hang. Full bathroom remodels run 3 to 5 weeks in Woodland Hills, depending on scope. We’ll put the timeline in writing before we start.
Will the price change once you start the work? Not unless you change the scope. Every project starts with a written price delivered before any work begins. If demo exposes something structural behind the vanity, we stop and put the additional cost in writing before touching it. No surprise invoices, no verbal estimate that grows at the end.
