KraftMaid Construction in Kissimmee, FL | Penhallow Remodeling Orlando
We’re an independent KraftMaid service provider working across Kissimmee’s homes, vacation rentals, and resort communities. Our crews install, reface, and repair KraftMaid cabinetry every week, and we understand how Kissimmee’s short-term-rental market treats cabinets harder than any family kitchen ever could. The difference here is timing: we stage materials off-site and complete most KraftMaid work inside the 5 – 7 day turnover windows that HOA-governed communities like Solara Resort demand between guest bookings. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free estimate on KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, or repair anywhere in Kissimmee.
Why Kissimmee Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
Cabinet work in a resort town follows a different clock than it does in a quiet suburb. We’ve learned that the hard way on jobs across Kissimmee, and we’ve built our scheduling around it. Trevor Nash, a General Contractor - Kissimmee area professional, spent two decades working everything from slab foundations to finish carpentry before bringing that experience to Orlando-area kitchens. He’s the kind of contractor who’ll tell you what substrate means before you have to ask, and he insists on a written price before any tool comes off the truck.
We work on KraftMaid cabinetry in Kissimmee daily. We know which Vantage door profiles survive guest abuse and which Momentum hinge systems need upgrades before the next family checks in. When a soft-close drawer glide fails in a rental property, we don’t just swap it for the same part and hope for the best. We replace it with a high-cycle aftermarket glide built for exactly the kind of slamming that vacation guests dish out. That’s not manufacturer-speak. That’s just knowing what Kissimmee’s rental stock actually goes through.
Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, every job, no exceptions. A live person answers the phone at (850) 427-6454 around the clock. And every KraftMaid project carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if something fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. We also provide KraftMaid sales & service guidance for homeowners weighing repair against replacement.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Kissimmee
- Soft-close drawers that no longer stay closed. This is the most common call we get from Kissimmee’s vacation rental communities. Guests slam drawers. It’s not personal; it’s vacation. After enough abuse, the OEM soft-close glides wear out and drawers bounce back open. We replace them with high-cycle aftermarket glides rated for far more cycles than the originals, then test each one with a hard shove to prove it holds.
- Laminate edge banding peeling in humid summer months. Kissimmee is humid almost year-round, but the real damage shows up in July and August. When a vacation home sits empty between bookings with the AC set to 80° or higher, the indoor humidity climbs and the laminate edges on cabinet doors start to lift. We see this constantly on KraftMaid doors in Kissimmee’s resort communities. The fix is either re-laminating the edge or replacing the door, depending on how far the delamination has spread.
- Hinge screws pulling out of particleboard cabinet sides. High-turnover properties mean doors get yanked harder and more often than anyone intended. Over time, hinge screws strip out of particleboard box sides, and doors sag. We drill, fill, and reset the hinges, or shift to through-bolted plates when the box material is too far gone to hold a screw.
- Finish clouding on maple and cherry doors near pool access. Kissimmee homes with pool decks see a lot of sunscreen, chlorine, and wet hands moving between kitchen and lanai. That residue transfers to door and drawer faces, and over time it clouds KraftMaid’s maple and cherry finishes. We clean, color-match, and touch up where possible; when the clouding is deep in the finish, we order matching doors through KraftMaid so the kitchen doesn’t look patched together.
- Swollen lower cabinet frames near dishwashers. Steam from dishwasher cycles, especially in rental kitchens that run multiple loads per turnover day, eventually swells the cabinet frames around the appliance. We saw this at a Storey Lake townhome, where warped KraftMaid Vantage lower doors had expanded from repeated steam exposure. We swapped the doors, upgraded the soft-close hinges to high-cycle models, and re-lined the sink base interior with waterproof PVC so the next rental turnover didn’t repeat the damage.
KraftMaid Service in Kissimmee: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Kissimmee’s Airbnb and VRBO market is not a background detail. It’s the reason our KraftMaid work here looks different from what we do fifteen miles away. When a property manager books us for a kitchen refresh, the unit is empty for five to seven days. That’s the window. We stage materials off-site, confirm HOA quiet hours before the crew arrives, and sequence the work so the loudest cutting happens in the first two days. In communities like Windsor at Westside and Solara Resort, where front-desk and gate access add their own friction, we’ve learned to build an extra half-day into the schedule just for getting materials through security. That’s the kind of thing you only know by doing it. It’s also why we give every homeowner and property manager a written price before work starts, because in a rental market, the cost of a blown turnover week is higher than the cost of the labor. We cover the full Kissimmee service area from the older wood-frame streets near downtown to the newer gated subdivisions along the 192 corridor.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Kissimmee
We work on the KraftMaid lines you’re most likely to find in Kissimmee kitchens and rental units: Vantage, Momentum, Lyndale, and Exeter. Each has its own door profile and hinge geometry, and we keep the common parts moving through our local inventory so a hinge replacement doesn’t wait on a two-week backorder. When OEM hinges, glides, and touch-up kits are available and appropriate, we use them. When a rental property keeps chewing through OEM soft-close glides, we’ll recommend high-cycle aftermarket replacements instead, and explain exactly why the extra cost pays for itself. For cabinet boxes with water damage or delamination, we usually suggest partial replacement or refacing before a full tear-out. It’s faster, cheaper, and often leaves you with a sturdier box than the one that failed.

AfterKraftMaid Service Pricing in Kissimmee
KraftMaid work in Kissimmee lands in the same range as our broader Orlando market, but rental-turnover pressure can shift the labor side when we’re working nights or working around a booking calendar. Here’s what to expect:

| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Countertop Installation | $2,000 – $6,500 |
What drives the number up or down: cabinet line (Vantage vs. Lyndale vs. Exeter), whether we’re refacing or replacing, whether the countertops come out with the old boxes or stay put, and how tight your turnover window is. A free estimate means we come out, measure, and hand you a written number before any work starts. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll set it up.
Say the price before the work. Show up in the window we gave. Leave the place cleaner than we found it. That’s the Kingswell standard that’s been our operating rule since 2004, and it applies to every KraftMaid job we do in Kissimmee.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Kissimmee
Yes, we can order factory-finished KraftMaid doors matched to your existing color and profile, plus weather-check the finish against your current doors before we leave. For rental properties where turnaround time is tight, we’ll often order the doors ahead of the unit’s next blank week so the install doesn’t collide with a booking. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll measure, photograph, and order from the sample set before you spend a dime.
The short answer is moisture control and smart material choices. Cabinet boxes survive Kissimmee’s humidity best when the AC is set to run at least a few hours daily, and when lower boxes near dishwashers and sinks are lined with waterproof PVC instead of bare particleboard. We also recommend dehumidifier use in kitchen zones during the off-season. If your cabinets have already warped, call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll assess whether it’s repair or replacement. The estimate is free either way.
It’s almost always the drawer glide, not the hinge. KraftMaid soft-close mechanisms live in the glide tracks under the drawer, and when those wear out, the drawer loses its catch and slams shut. In Kissimmee’s vacation rentals, slamming is the default guest behavior, so the OEM glides fail faster than they would in a primary home. We replace them with high-cycle aftermarket glides and test each drawer by slamming it ourselves. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free estimate on drawer glide replacement.
Yes, refacing is often the right move in Kissimmee’s older downtown homes, where the 1950s and 60s wood-frame layouts don’t always justify a full Kissimmee Bathroom Remodeling gut. We replace doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, then veneer the exposed box faces to match. You keep the existing cabinet boxes and countertops, and the kitchen looks new for a fraction of a full remodel. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll walk the kitchen with you and give you a written refacing price.
Upper cabinets should be anchored into wall studs with structural screws, especially in Kissimmee where hurricane exposure means wind-load standards are higher than in inland Florida. This is standard practice for us on every KraftMaid install. We don’t apply a separate “hurricane strap” upsell. The anchoring goes in as part of the installation, and we’ll show you the screw pattern before we hang the first box. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free installation estimate.
