Custom Cabinets

The cost to install kitchen cabinets ranges between $2,007 and $10,546, with an average cabinet installation cost of $6,010. Installing a single cabinet can cost as little as $240, while a large kitchen with fully custom, high-quality cabinets can run as high as $20,000 or more.

The most significant factor affecting the cost to replace kitchen cabinets is the type of cabinet you choose: stock, semi-custom, or fully custom. Additional factors can impact your cabinet replacement cost, including the style of the cabinets and the size of your kitchen.

2023 Notice:

Material Prices Are Surging

Demand for siding and other building materials has grown over the past year. And as a result, manufacturers are increasing materials prices. Prices have gone up 5% to 10% this year, and many parts of the country are experiencing long delivery times. If you're planning a building project, we recommend starting as early as possible in the season, preparing for potential price fluctuations, and allowing extra time to order materials.

Kitchen Cabinet Installation Cost by Size

How much is it to install kitchen cabinets? While local kitchen designers don’t calculate the cost to install kitchen cabinets by the square footage of your kitchen, it can be a good starting place if you’re looking for a rough estimate before getting quotes.

The table below assumes stock or semi-custom cabinets with average prices. Custom cabinets would increase these costs by 50% to 100%.

Average Cost to Install New Cabinets per Linear Foot

A more accurate way of estimating how much installing kitchen cabinets costs is by the linear foot, generally anywhere from $100 to $1,200 per linear foot. Costs will vary by the cabinet depth, material, and style, but knowing the general linear length can help your pro give you a ballpark estimate, especially once you settle on a design.

The average kitchen has anywhere from 15 to 25 linear feet of cabinets, which could yield a cabinet installation cost of around $1,500 to $30,000, depending on the level of customization, material, and style.

Stock vs. Custom Kitchen Cabinet Costs

Cabinet material costs make up 50% or more of project pricing; material and labor costs vary depending on the type of cabinets and installation complexity. To simplify cabinet cost estimates, we can break down cabinets into three types: stock, semi-custom, and custom.

Stock materials: $50–$200 per lin. ft. or $100–$650 per unit

Semi-custom materials: $75–$400 per lin. ft. with a single unit ranging from $150–$800+

Custom materials: $300–$750 per lin. ft. for materials with single units starting at $600.

The materials you choose can be an even bigger factor than your level of customization. Wood cabinets are the most common and have a huge range, from pine and red oak to white oak or cherry. If you want to go the less costly route, you might consider laminate or thermofoil. These non-wood alternatives often mimic wood, and they're usually durable. But they're difficult to repair when damaged meaning higher cabinet repair costs and usually lack the richness and authenticity of real wood.

But materials only make up one-half of the equation. The table below breaks down the full cost to install kitchen cabinets by each type, including materials and labor.

Cabinet Refacing

What Is Cabinet Refacing?

Cabinet refacing is the process of revamping the cabinets you already have and typically takes a few days when done by a pro. During refacing, a pro will apply new veneers (thin sheets of wood that attach to your cabinet's plywood to upgrade their look) to your cabinet boxes and add new doors to match the revamped exteriors. A pro will usually add new cabinet hinges and hardware during this process, making your cabinets look even more refreshed.

You can choose from many styles and finish options but cannot usually change the layout or structure of the existing cupboards with refacing. Only attempt to reface existing cabinets if the box is in good enough shape to handle the weight of new hardware and doors. Again, a pro can help you evaluate if your current cabinets are ideal for refacing.

Replacing vs. Refinishing vs. Refacing

Refacing cabinets, as mentioned above, is the process of upgrading the cabinets you currently own by placing new material over the top surface of the frames and switching out the doors and drawer fronts. In comparison, refinishing cabinets can involve a simple paint job or restraining to change the color and finish as you can see with the links below thanks to home Advisor.

Refinishing cabinets typically costs around $1,800 to $4,150. Refacing cabinets is more expensive than refinishing, but both are less costly than replacing cabinets. In comparison, replacing cabinets costs about $1,875 to $9,250. The table below shows cabinet refacing costs by material.

Custom Trim

Trim and Molding

Basic stock cabinets don't offer many diverse design elements, but if you consider semi-custom and fully custom cabinets, you can enhance their design with trim and molding. These finer details can add high labor costs to the project.

Under-cabinet lighting is another way to improve the aesthetic and functionality of your kitchen. If you’re interested, under-cabinet lighting costs between $230 and $300 per light.

Changing Kitchen Cabinet Placement

Moving kitchen cabinets around doesn’t increase installation or material costs. But you’ll have to consider costs associated with moving electrical outlets, plumbing, redoing drywall, and painting.

Moving electrical costs around $550+, depending on the project complexity.
Drywall patching costs about $580. Opening walls to move plumbing or electrical generally requires this type of wall repair.
Plumbing pricing runs around $650–$800 to reroute a single line.

Painting a wall costs at least $100 but may go as high as $500 if your painter has a minimum charge.
