KraftMaid Construction in Sunrise Manor, NV | Steel Horse Construction
We provide independent KraftMaid cabinet installation, refacing, and our Home Remodeling in Sunrise Manor across Sunrise Manor, NV. We are not manufacturer-authorized, and we don’t pretend to be. What makes our KraftMaid work different here is that we know how Clark County permitting rules and Sunrise Manor’s east-side desert heat affect these cabinets in ways a generic installer won’t catch. Call (877) 265-5715 for a free estimate.
Why Sunrise Manor Residents Choose Us for KraftMaid Service
KraftMaid cabinets show up in a lot of Sunrise Manor kitchens. They were a go-to line for tract builders in the 1960s and 1970s, and plenty of those original boxes are still hanging. Russ Dillard, our owner and Sunrise Manor General Contractor, grew up in Sunrise Manor not far from Nellis Air Force Base. He has seen these cabinets fail in the same ways on the same streets for decades.
We work on the brand regularly, which means we don’t learn on your dime. We know which KraftMaid door styles delaminate first, which drawer slides bind under dust and heat, and which boxes are worth saving versus replacing. We carry OEM KraftMaid hinges and slides when a style is still in production, and we keep a network of aftermarket solid-wood door suppliers for when it isn’t. That keeps turnaround reasonable for Sunrise Manor homeowners and for the landlords who manage rental properties up and down Las Vegas Boulevard North. When you deal with us, you deal with one contractor who takes the whole job, not a chain of subs. We build it like it’s our name on the wall – because it is.

Common KraftMaid Construction Problems We Solve in Sunrise Manor
- Thermofoil door delamination on Vantage and Prelude lines. The thin vinyl layer peels and curls, especially on cabinets facing east or south windows. In Sunrise Manor, where summer heat runs 105 to 110 degrees for weeks, the adhesive breaks down faster than it would in a coastal or mountain climate. We replace the doors with solid-wood fronts or match a current KraftMaid style when the batch is still available.
- Finish fade and chalking on Home Collection maple and oak doors. Sun exposure through unshaded windows near sliding glass doors bleaches stained and painted doors within a few years. We see this most on single-story tract homes where the kitchen sits on the west or south side of the house. Refacing with a more UV-stable finish is often the right call.
- Particleboard-core boxes swelling near sinks and dishwashers. Prelude and some Vantage cabinets use particleboard cores. One slow under-sink leak, a failed dishwasher gasket, or a monsoon-season humidity spike can swell the box, stick the drawers, and pull hinges loose. We check the actual leak source before we do anything else. No point refacing a box that’s still getting wet.
- Raised-panel door warp in winter. Sunrise Manor’s indoor humidity drops hard when the weather cools and the furnace kicks on. Raised-panel doors and plywood-veneer faces on older KraftMaid lines can separate or cup. Sometimes the fix is re-gluing and clamping; sometimes the panel needs replacing.
- Hinges and drawer slides wearing out on rental properties. Sunrise Manor has a huge share of rental housing. Tenants come and go, and cabinets take abuse. Soft-close slides become slam-close slides. We upgrade older KraftMaid boxes to current OEM or aftermarket soft-close hardware that stands up better.
KraftMaid Service in Sunrise Manor: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the detail that gets missed on generic pages. Sunrise Manor is an unincorporated township. That means Clark County codes and permitting govern construction work here, not City of Las Vegas rules. If you’re refacing KraftMaid cabinets and the job includes moving an outlet for a new island, changing sink plumbing, or adding under-cabinet lighting, you pull a Clark County permit. Not a Las Vegas permit. Inspections are scheduled through the county, and out-of-town landlords managing Sunrise Manor rentals often don’t know that extra step exists until the work is already flagged. We handle the permit and the inspection coordination as part of the job. We’ve done it enough times on the east side, around Frenchman Mountain and the neighborhoods south of Nellis, that it’s routine for us. Flash-flood potential off Sunrise Mountain also matters when a kitchen remodel includes new drainage runs; sheet flow from the slopes is a real grading and plumbing consideration that flat central Las Vegas doesn’t face.
KraftMaid Models & Products We Service in Sunrise Manor
We work on the full KraftMaid range. That includes the Vantage series, the entry-level all-plywood boxes with thermofoil or painted doors; the Home Collection in oak and maple, including Chatham and Hanover door styles; and the Prelude series, which uses MDF and particleboard cores. When a door style and finish are still in production, we source OEM KraftMaid replacement doors, hinges, and drawer slides. When thermofoil is delaminated or a finish is discontinued, we switch to aftermarket solid-wood doors and soft-close slides that handle desert heat better. We’re honest about which path makes sense. If a box is swollen past a safe repair, we say so. We won’t reface a cabinet that’s going to fall apart in two years to make a quick sale.

AfterKraftMaid Service Pricing in Sunrise Manor
Pricing depends on the condition of the existing boxes, the door count, and whether we’re refacing or doing a full install. Here are the current ranges for Sunrise Manor work.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Cabinet Installation & Refacing | $4,000 – $13,000 |
| Kitchen Island Installation | $3,000 – $10,000 |
| Full Kitchen Remodeling | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Small Kitchen Remodeling | $9,000 – $20,000 |
| Countertop Installation | $2,000 – $6,500 |
What drives the number, honestly, is the box condition and the finish choice. Refacing with aftermarket solid-wood doors costs more than OEM thermofoil replacements, but they last longer in Sunrise Manor heat. A full kitchen remodel pulls in plumbing, electrical, and countertop work, which is why the range is wide. Every estimate includes a written line-item breakdown. Call (877) 265-5715 to schedule a free estimate.

FAQs – KraftMaid Construction in Sunrise Manor
Sometimes, yes. If the door style and finish are still in KraftMaid’s current catalog, we order OEM replacements and swap them in. If the style was discontinued, which is common for 1990s Vantage lines, we match the cabinet box dimensions with an aftermarket solid-wood door that holds up better. Call (877) 265-5715 and we’ll tell you which path applies to your kitchen.
Not always. Refacing doors and drawer fronts without touching plumbing or electrical is cosmetic and generally doesn’t trigger a permit. But if the project includes moving an island outlet, adding under-cabinet lighting, or rerouting sink plumbing, you need a permit through Clark County, since Sunrise Manor is unincorporated. We handle the permit and the inspection as part of the job. Call (877) 265-5715 for a straight answer on your specific scope.
Almost always a slow leak that has been running longer than you think. A dripping supply line, a failed sink strainer gasket, or a dishwasher connection that seeps. Particleboard cores in Prelude and some Vantage cabinets absorb the moisture and swell. The fix starts with finding and stopping the leak, then assessing whether the box can be dried and stabilized or needs replacement.
Heat won’t ruin solid hardwood or quality plywood boxes, but it will accelerate finish fade on stained doors near unshaded windows and delaminate thermofoil faster than any other climate factor in the valley. East- and south-facing kitchens in 1960s tract homes are the worst. When you’re choosing a refacing finish, we steer you toward materials with better UV stability. It costs a bit more up front and saves a second job later.
We start with repair. In many Sunrise Manor homes, winter dryness causes the panel to cup or the veneer to separate at the seam. If the panel is sound, we re-glue, clamp, and refinish. If the warp has cracked the wood or the door frame is compromised, we replace the door. We’ll show you the difference before we do anything. Call (877) 265-5715 for an exact assessment.
