KraftMaid Construction in Spring, TX | Elmstead Remodeling Houston
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and full kitchen remodeling across Spring, TX, and we’ve been doing it long enough to know the difference between a cabinet that needs a hinge and a cabinet that needs a new home. As a General Contractor in Spring, we handle every phase of the job. What makes our KraftMaid work different here is simple: we plan for Spring’s clay soils and aging slab plumbing before we ever set a cabinet. Call (254) 272-5240 for a free estimate on your Spring KraftMaid project.
Our crews work on KraftMaid sales & service every week, from Vantage and Venicia lines to Passport Series and the older Martha Stewart Living collections. We’re not manufacturer-authorized. We’re independent, which means when a cabinet is beyond saving, we’ll tell you that instead of trying to sell you a patch.
Why Spring Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
We’ve rebuilt, refinished, and rehung KraftMaid cabinets across hundreds of Spring kitchens. Graham Stein, owner of Elmstead Remodeling Houston, runs our crews with a rule he picked up during his years managing remodeling work across Southern California and now applies to every job in the Houston area: name the problem before naming the product. That’s why we carry OEM KraftMaid hinges, glides, and shelf pins on the truck, but we also stock aftermarket veneers matched to existing finishes for cosmetic repairs. We answer the phone with a live person 24/7, and every job starts with a written price before any work begins.
Families in Spring with kids and pets appreciate the way we work. Drop cloths go down before cutting starts. Shoe covers at the door. Quiet tools during nap hours where possible. A photo of the cleanup before the crew leaves. It’s not extra. It’s the standard.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Spring
- Peeling thermofoil on older Vantage doors. Spring’s humid summers push moisture into the seams near dishwasher steam vents and under-cabinet lighting. Once the thermofoil lifts, it doesn’t go back down. We typically reface those doors with a matched aftermarket veneer rather than chase the peeling with glue.
- Soft-close hinges snapping on Venicia cabinets. Slab movement from Spring’s expansive clay knocks cabinet frames out of square. A hinge that worked fine in March is binding by August. We replace snapped or weakened soft-close hinges with OEM KraftMaid parts when available, because the tolerances matter.
- Stripped shelf pins in Passport Series cabinets. The particleboard sides on Passport boxes don’t forgive overloading. We see stripped pin holes often during Spring remodels where pantry cabinets double as small appliance storage. The fix is usually steel repair sleeves, not a new cabinet.
- Fading veneer finishes on west-facing kitchens. Unshaded windows in Spring subdivisions like Cypresswood mean intense afternoon sun on cabinet faces. Finishes fade unevenly. We can reface sun-bleached doors and drawers, and we’ll tell you if window film is worth doing first.
- Water-swollen sink bases. This is the one that hurts. Slow leaks under slab foundations go unnoticed until the cabinet base delaminates. We coordinate cabinet removal with plumbers who know Spring’s cast iron drain history, which saves you from paying for demo twice.
KraftMaid Service in Spring: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Cabinets
Spring’s rapid shift from rural outpost to sprawling Houston suburb left a patchwork under people’s homes. In older neighborhoods like Cypresswood and Northampton, many of the original cast iron sewer lines under the slab are reaching end of life. That matters for your KraftMaid cabinets because a slab leak doesn’t announce itself. It soaks the cabinet toe kick, swells the particleboard sides, and by the time you notice the smell or the sticking drawer, the damage is done. We regularly coordinate cabinet removal with plumbers tunneling under slabs to reroute failing drains. Other contractors will pull your sink base, find a plumbing mess, and leave you to hire someone else. We bring the plumber in on our schedule and keep the project moving. It’s the biggest hidden cost in Spring Bathroom Remodeling and kitchen work alike, and we plan for it from the first walkthrough.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Spring
We work on all the major KraftMaid product lines you’re likely to have: Vantage, Venicia, Passport Series, and the older Martha Stewart Living collections. For hinges, drawer glides, and shelf pins, we prefer OEM KraftMaid parts because they’re built to the original tolerances and they fit without drilling new holes. For cosmetic work like door fronts, trim, and end panels, we often use high-quality aftermarket veneers matched to your existing finish, which is faster and often more durable than trying to source discontinued KraftMaid pieces. We keep common hinge types and shelf-pin repair sleeves stocked locally for fast turnaround on Spring service calls. If more than 30% of your cabinet boxes are water-damaged or out of square, we’ll tell you replacement is cheaper than trying to true up old KraftMaid cabinets. That’s an honest conversation we have more often than we’d like in Spring.
One job that stuck with us: a 1980s brick ranch in Cypresswood with a Passport Series sink base that had swollen and delaminated after a slow drain leak under the slab. We pulled the cabinet, worked with the plumber to reroute the drain, and rehung a new KraftMaid Passport sink base matched to the existing cherry finish. The job took two extra days because a joist had rotted from the leak and needed sistering. The homeowner avoided a full gut. That’s the kind of thing you only learn by doing it.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Spring
Yes, in most cases. We have a finishing vendor who matches stains and clears against a sample door from your kitchen, then we build the refaced island panels to that match. The best approach is to bring a door or drawer front to the walkthrough so we can confirm the match before we order material. Call (254) 272-5240 to set that up.
Spring sits on expansive clay soil that swells and contracts with rain and drought. That movement shifts the cabinet boxes ever so slightly, and doors that once cleared each other start to rub. We can often correct it with hinge adjustment or by truing the face frames, but if the slab has moved enough to rack the boxes, replacement may be the only lasting fix.
It depends on how far the peel has spread. If it’s one or two doors and the rest of the kitchen is in good shape, we can reface those doors with a matched veneer for much less than a full cabinet replacement. If peeling is widespread across the kitchen, you’re better off putting that money toward refacing the whole run. We’ll tell you which makes sense after we see it.
We use OEM KraftMaid soft-close hinges whenever they’re available, because they match the original screw pattern and door weight rating. If a particular hinge is discontinued, we’ll find the closest OEM-compatible equivalent and test it on one door before doing the rest. Call (254) 272-5240 if you have a hinge that snapped or won’t hold tension.
Yes. Many Spring homes built from the 1970s onward have post-tension slab foundations, and we install KraftMaid cabinets over them regularly. The key thing with post-tension slabs is that we never cut or drill into the slab itself without a slab scan and engineering review. Cabinet installation itself is unaffected.
