KraftMaid Roofing: The Los Angeles Owner’s Guide
If you’re searching for KraftMaid roofing help in Los Angeles, you’re most likely dealing with a failed cabinet hinge, a drawer slide that’s given up, or trim that’s pulling away from the cabinet box. The honest answer is that KraftMaid does not manufacture roofing products at all. KraftMaid builds kitchen and bath cabinetry. If someone sold you “KraftMaid roofing,” that’s a red flag worth looking into. What we do handle, every day in Los Angeles, is KraftMaid cabinetry repair and replacement of the moving parts, hinges, slides, and hardware, along with the roof work that sometimes becomes necessary after cabinet failures lead to water damage or structural issues above the kitchen.
We keep KraftMaid-compatible hinges, drawer slides, shelf clips, and touch-up kits on our trucks, and we install them for Los Angeles homeowners at a typical cost of $95 to $350 depending on what failed. We’re an independent contractor, not affiliated with KraftMaid. We’re also the company that gives you a written price before we touch a single screw.
Which KraftMaid Models This Applies To
KraftMaid cabinetry spans several lines, and the parts are not a one-size-fits-all situation. Most Los Angeles kitchens we work in have KraftMaid’s standard overlay or full overlay cabinets, which use concealed hinges with a 35mm cup bore. The hinge arm style, whether it’s a straight arm, half-cranked, or full-cranked, depends on your cabinet door’s overlay dimension. If you grab the wrong hinge, the door will hang crooked or won’t close flush by a quarter inch. That quarter inch is the compatibility gotcha that sends people back to the hardware store twice.
We identify your part by popping off one hinge. The manufacturer stamps the model number on the back of the hinge cup or along the arm. KraftMaid mostly uses Blum or Salice hardware. The OEM Blum hinge for a KraftMaid full overlay door runs about $12 to $18 per hinge. A quality aftermarket equivalent costs $6 to $9 and typically lasts the same seven to ten years. For drawer slides, your cabinet measures either 18, 21, or 24 inches deep. The slide must match that length exactly. A 21-inch cabinet box with a 20-inch slide means your drawer won’t open all the way, and a 22-inch slide won’t fit at all. We stock all three depths, side-mount and undermount, on the truck.
We also handle Cambria, Silestone, and Kohler parts where cabinetry meets countertop and plumbing, so if the failed hinge led to a cracked counter overhang or a loose faucet deck, we deal with that in the same visit.

Signs Your KraftMaid Roofing Is Failing
Since KraftMaid doesn’t make roofing, what you’re probably experiencing is cabinetry failure. Here are the five most common symptoms we see in Los Angeles kitchens, and what’s actually going on behind the door.
- The door droops and scrapes the cabinet frame. The hinge arm has bent or the mounting screws have stripped out of the particleboard. This gets worse in older homes where the cabinet box has been repainted multiple times and the screw holes are wallowed out. We fix this by remounting the hinge or stepping up to a hinge with a larger mounting plate.
- The drawer sticks halfway and then drops. This is a broken ball-bearing retainer inside the slide. Once one bearing pops out, the drawer will never travel smoothly again. The fix is a slide replacement, not lubrication.
- The soft-close feature stopped working. The damper piston inside the hinge or slide has blown its seal. When that happens, the door slams shut. It’s a small part, but you can’t buy the piston separately. The whole hinge or slide gets replaced.
- The corner of a cabinet door is dark or swollen. That’s water damage from a leak, usually from a sink or a refrigerator line above the cabinet. This matters because the cabinet box itself may be compromised. We check the substrate, the underlying frame material, before we just hang a new door.
- You hear a snap and then metal falls inside the cabinet. That’s a hinge spring letting go. The door will hang loose immediately. Don’t force it closed, you’ll strip the remaining screws and turn a $15 part into a $200 door replacement.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
In Los Angeles, KraftMaid cabinet hardware replacement runs $95 to $350 for most single-part jobs. Replacing all hinges and slides on a standard 10-foot run of cabinets typically falls between $472 and $1,180. If the cabinet box is water-damaged and needs a partial rebuild, you’re looking at cabinet installation pricing, which in Los Angeles runs $4,720 to $15,340 depending on how many boxes are involved.
What drives the range: how many parts failed, whether we’re matching OEM or installing aftermarket equivalents, and whether the cabinet box needs repair before the new hardware goes in. Every job gets a written price before we start. The number on day one is the number on the invoice. Every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a hinge fails or a drawer hangs up inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No service call, no re-inspection fee, no argument.
DIY or Call Us?
You can safely inspect the hinge plate yourself. Look for a bent arm, a loose mounting screw, or a damper that’s blown. You can also measure your drawer’s length to see what slide you need. What you can’t safely do is repair a water-damaged cabinet box or remount hardware into rotted or crumbling particleboard. When the substrate under the hinge is gone, driving a longer screw just punches through and the whole thing fails again in a month. That’s the repair that cracked again in six weeks, and it’s why you’re on this page.
Cabinet hardware itself isn’t dangerous. But working overhead on a ladder to reach upper cabinet hinges, with a screw gun and sharp metal parts, isn’t worth the hospital visit. Give us a call at (213) 277-6578 and we’ll send a background-checked, uniformed technician to your Los Angeles home. We’ll give you a number first, then pick up the tools.
FAQs
KraftMaid hinges and slides typically last seven to ten years in Los Angeles, but that lifespan shortens near the coast where salt air accelerates metal fatigue, especially on exposed hinge arms and slide bearings.
No, once a hinge arm bends or a damper seal blows, the hinge is done. The internal spring and damper are not serviceable. Replacement is the only repair that holds. Call (213) 277-6578 and we’ll bring the right part.
Most single-part replacements, one hinge or one drawer slide, take 30 to 45 minutes. A full kitchen hinge and slide swap runs two to three hours. We schedule a firm arrival window and we hit it.
We stock the most common KraftMaid hinge and slide sizes, 35mm cup hinges in straight, half-cranked, and full-cranked profiles, plus 18, 21, and 24-inch slides in side-mount and undermount. If your cabinet needs an odd size, we order it and schedule the install once it arrives. Estimates are free.
