KraftMaid Construction in Lompico, CA | Brookside Contractors
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and full kitchen remodeling throughout Lompico, and there is one thing that separates our work here from every other canyon job: we plan around your well lines, septic routing, and a driveway that probably will not take a delivery truck. Lompico kitchens are not like KraftMaid repair in Felton subdivision kitchens, and treating them that way is how cabinets fail early. Call Brookside Contractors at (833) 725-3508 for a free estimate on KraftMaid work that accounts for how canyon homes actually live.
Why Lompico Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
We have installed and refaced KraftMaid cabinetry across the Santa Cruz Mountains long enough to know how their box construction, drawer hardware, and finish lines behave in a wet canyon winter and a dry fire-season summer. That matters in Lompico, where a thermofoil door that would last fifteen years in a climate-controlled tract house can start peeling at the edges in under ten. Nate Burrell, our owner and general contractor, trained in construction technology at Gavilan College and spent two decades on job sites across South Santa Clara County before building Brookside Contractors. He is known for the kind of finish work that holds up, and he does not spec a cabinet line that cannot survive where it is going, whether that is KraftMaid in Ben Lomond or here in Lompico. As an independent contractor, we order KraftMaid direct, install it to spec, and stand behind our work. We are not affiliated with or authorized by the manufacturer, which means our only incentive is the right cabinet for your kitchen, not a brand quota.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Lompico
- Thermofoil delamination on Vantage doors: Older KraftMaid Vantage series cabinets use thermofoil or laminate faces, and Lompico’s swing between heavy winter humidity and dry summer heat causes the film to lift and peel at edges and seams. Once moisture gets under the skin, it spreads fast. We reface with painted or stained wood if the boxes are sound, or we quote replacement if it has gone too far.
- Swollen particleboard sink bases and toe kicks: KraftMaid’s particleboard boxes do not forgive water exposure, and Lompico homes on private wells frequently develop slow leaks at the water lines routed behind or under the sink base. We routinely find sink cabinets swelling and crumbling at the bottom, and the fix is honest: a new box, not a patch.
- Out-of-level floors racking older cabinetry: Many Lompico homes are older owner-built or cabin-era stock on slope lots, and the floors are rarely dead level. Full-overlay hinges and drawer glides on KraftMaid Deluxe and Select lines loosen and sag as the boxes rack. We reset runs level before any countertop goes down.
- Sun-baked finishes on south-facing windows: The canyon gets strong sun on southern exposures, and painted maple or cherry face frames on KraftMaid’s full-overlay lines can crack and blister where the light hits day after day. We correct the finish or reface the affected doors rather than replacing the whole run.
- Ingress damage before the cabinet is even set: On narrow private roads off Lompico Road, a standard delivery truck often cannot reach the house. Cabinets get staged at the road, carried up, and sometimes caught by the rain. We plan smaller loads and protected staging so your KraftMaid order is not the thing that gets ruined before it is installed.
KraftMaid Service in Lompico: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Most Lompico kitchens we touch sit on private wells and septic, and the well pressure tank and water lines are often routed into the same cabinet run where the sink lives. That is the detail a generic KraftMaid page never mentions: pulling a sink base here means shutting off and re-supporting plumbing that a KraftMaid in Brookdale or Felton subdivision kitchen simply would not have behind the doors. When we staged a KraftMaid Vantage kitchen on a steep lot off Lompico Road, we hand-carried every box up the driveway because the delivery truck could not make the turn. The sink base had swelled from a slow well-line leak and the thermofoil doors were peeling at the edges, so we replaced the swollen cabinet with a new KraftMaid box, refaced the remaining uppers, and reset the run level on the out-of-square floor before setting the quartz top. That is what Lompico construction actually looks like: smaller loads, staged materials, and a crew that knows where the plumbing hides.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Lompico
We work on the full KraftMaid range you will find in Lompico homes. The Vantage series, framed with particleboard boxes and laminate or thermofoil fronts, shows up often in budget mountain remodels and keeps us busy with delamination repairs. The Momentum series, framed with painted or stained fronts, gives us a better box to build on when owners want a mid-tier refresh. Deluxe and Select full-overlay door styles in painted maple and cherry are common in newer custom homes up the canyon. On parts, we source genuine KraftMaid doors, drawer fronts, and hardware for direct-match replacements, and we use quality aftermarket soft-close hinges and full-extension glides where the OEM part has been discontinued. If the boxes are sound, we reface and re-hinge. If the particleboard has swelled at the sink or toe kick, replacement is the honest call, and we will tell you which one you are looking at before you spend a dollar. KraftMaid sales & service coverage extends across the entire canyon from our base.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Lompico
Can you get a KraftMaid cabinet delivery up a narrow private road off Lompico Road?
Usually yes, but we stage it rather than forcing it. For steep driveways and tight turns, we have the delivery dropped at the road on a protected pallet and hand-carry or shuttle the boxes up. It adds labor, but it prevents the box damage and turnaround time you would get from a truck that cannot make the last hundred feet. Call (833) 725-3508 and we will assess your access before ordering.
My KraftMaid thermofoil doors are peeling – repair or replace?
If the peeling is limited to a few door edges and the boxes are solid, refacing is the lower-cost fix. If the thermofoil has lifted across multiple doors, especially on a kitchen that runs humid all winter, replacement doors in a painted or stained wood front will outlast any repair. We will show you both numbers and let the budget decide. Call (833) 725-3508 for an in-home look.
Will a new KraftMaid sink base fit around my well pressure tank and plumbing?
In most Lompico kitchens, yes, but it requires planning, not just a bigger hole. The pressure tank and well lines often enter the sink cabinet from the back or side wall, and we may need to re-route the lines or modify the cabinet back panel to keep the install clean and accessible. We handle the plumbing rework as part of the cabinet job, so you are not coordinating a second contractor. Call (833) 725-3508 and we will walk your kitchen before quoting.
Do you handle Santa Cruz County permitting for a KraftMaid kitchen remodel in Lompico?
Yes. Lompico is unincorporated Santa Cruz County, not a city, so permits run through the county building department, and we manage that paperwork end to end. Cabinet-only work rarely needs a permit, but any structural, electrical, or plumbing alteration does, and we pull those permits and schedule the inspections. We are a licensed general contractor, so the same crew carrying the cabinets is the one standing for the inspection.
How do you protect new KraftMaid cabinets from wildfire-season and winter conditions?
We install them dry, first of all: no cabinet set in a rain-soaked house, and we keep materials wrapped and staged under cover until the day of install. For long-term protection, we address the moisture sources first, like sealing around sink plumbing and checking ventilation under the sink base, and we recommend finished-wood fronts over thermofoil for Lompico homes that run humid half the year and bake dry the other half. Call (833) 725-3508 and we will spec the finish that matches your kitchen’s actual conditions.
