What Do Kitchen Cabinets Cost?

Due to the wide-ranging differences in materials and quality, new kitchen cabinets typically cost anywhere from $2,500 to $24,000. However, most new cabinet prices average between $5,500 and $13,000. This wide price range can be divided into three cabinet categories: stock, semi-custom, and custom.

High end of new cabinet costs, often custom cabinets.

The terms stock, semi-custom, and custom refer to the manufacturing process of cabinets. Stock cabinets come in set sizes that have no modification options. Custom wood cabinets Custom wood cabinets are built in dimensions specific to your kitchen and have almost unlimited selections. And semi-custom cabinets fall between stock and custom cabinets. This is because they offer standard-size cabinet boxes that keep prices low while offering some options for modifications.

Remember that stock cabinets from a factory can be better quality than custom cabinets from a neighbor’s garage. If you buy fully custom cabinets, you are paying for the option to customize them. However, you may or may not need all those choices.

Why Do Cabinet Prices Vary so Widely?

As you decide on cabinets for your kitchen renovation, you may be wondering why cabinet prices vary so widely. Cabinet costs are affected by things like construction, materials, modification options, door styles, and even where you live and purchase them from.

Determining which cabinets are right for you involves more than just looking at the price tag. Cabinets need to suit your style, provide storage solutions, and have durability that fits your lifestyle and home. Make sure the brands you are considering offer all the options you want. It’s also important to be aware that these features will cost more.

As you set a budget and review the cost of kitchen cabinets, be sure to factor quality into the equation. One cabinet brand may seem like the cost-effective choice, however, cabinets of higher quality with more custom options may actually be a better value overall. Learning about how to compare cabinet costs will help you choose the right product.

Average New Kitchen Cabinet Costs

Below is a sample kitchen showing the expected average kitchen cabinet costs based on the average price per linear foot. Cabinets are generally measured in linear feet. Linear feet are calculated by measuring the length where cabinets are needed and adding up the total number of feet. The examples below show how cabinet prices for a kitchen can vary based on the type of cabinets, and costs for installing kitchen cabinets is not included. Per linear foot prices are from HomeAdvisor.

Stock Cabinets


$2,500 - $7,500 for 25 linear feet

Based on HomeAdvisor's $100 - $300 average cost per linear foot of cabinetry

Stock and RTA cabinets are ready-to-install. These cabinets can be picked up at big-box stores or easily ordered online with shorter lead times than traditional cabinets. Ease of access makes this type of cabinet very popular among DIYers and contractors. While they are easily available, this style does have limited sizes. Price points are generally lower for this category because stock and RTA cabinets offer fewer options in finish, style, construction, and storage.

RTA stock cabinets are very popular DIY cabinets because of their low cost and easy installation.

Semi-Custom


$5,750 - $16,250 for 25 linear feet

Based on HomeAdvisor's $150 - $650 average cost per linear foot of cabinetry

Semi-custom cabinets are factory-assembled and come with a wide variety of styles, finishes, and cabinet accessories. The term, ‘semi-custom’, comes from the ability to modify most cabinet’s width, depth, and sometimes height. With so many modifications available, this type of cabinet offers a custom-like feel at a lower price. Semi-custom cabinet pricing tends to range from lower mid-range to high depending on your selections.

Custom Cabinets


$12,500 - $30,000+ for 25 linear feet

Based on HomeAdvisor's $500 - $1,200 average cost per linear foot of cabinetry

Custom cabinets are factory-assembled and offer endless styles, finishes, and storage solutions. Sometimes custom lines can offer color-matching or other custom colors that are not displayed. Similarly, cabinets can be designed at almost any dimension to accommodate specific needs. Custom lines are also known for having the largest amount of cabinet accessories and storage solutions. Because of the breadth of options, custom cabinets are often in the high price range.

Most cabinet lines, whether CliqStudios or another brand, offer different upgrade options for each of their lines. This can include finish upgrades for designer cabinet colors, size customizations, or other details like moldings, decorative features like doors, legs, and feet, or glass. Outside of extra features, it’s important to consider the cost of cabinet installation to make sure you’re staying on budget.

Tips to Save on Your Kitchen Cabinets

There are many ways to save on cabinetry whether it’s based on cabinet features or other add-on costs. When selecting your kitchen cabinets, as previously mentioned, there are typically upgrades or basic options to choose from. To minimize costs, try choosing a standard finish or fewer accessories. You will be surprised by how much this might lower your total quote.

If you’re on a tighter remodeling budget, tell your designer you would like shorter wall cabinets, minimal moldings whether crown or baseboard, and more standard cabinets with fewer drawer bases. This gives you the flexibility to save on your kitchen cabinets and add your desired cabinet accessories down the road.

Lastly, it can be tempting to order one wall of kitchen cabinets at a time if you’re doing a DIY remodel, but you will actually save money on shipping by ordering them all at once.
