What Do Kitchen Cabinets Cost?

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.

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.

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

Additional cabinet costs that come into play can vary based on your project and design preferences. 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.

Most CliqStudios projects range from $5,500 to $16,000. The average CliqStudios cabinet order is $10,000. This average accounts for a range of kitchen sizes, styles, and customization levels.

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.
