What Affects the Cost of Kitchen Cabinets?

On average, kitchen cabinet costs can range anywhere from $100 to $1,200 per linear foot. This cost is dependent on the materials and finish type, design complexity, and level of customization.

‍

Materials & Finishes

• Premium materials: Solid wood like oak, maple, cherry, or walnut are durable and classic, but cost more upfront
• Mid-range materials: Ply wood is less expensive than solid wood, but still offers the strength and durability you need for cabinets that last
• Budget-friendly materials: Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF) and particleboard offers a smooth surface for painted finishes, but is less durable, particularly in high-moisture environments

• Paint vs. Stain: Painted finishes are more expensive than stain because of the additional prep and application steps needed for a polished look

‍

Customization & Design Complexity

Simple design and standard cabinet styles can help keep costs low. More intricate door styles and customized features like raised panel doors, decorative moldings, and intricate detailing require higher costs in both labor and materials. If you want more functionality with pull-out shelves or custom inserts, this will increase your costs with the need for more precise craftsmanship.

‍

Linear Footage & Cabinet Quantity

‍

A larger kitchen will require more linear feet of cabinetry and may increase cabinet quantity depending on the layout, which directly drives up costs for cabinet upgrades.

‍

Local Labor Rates

Labor rates for cabinetry work vary by region, with generally higher rates in urban areas or regions with high demand. Skilled labor shortages in your area can also drive up costs.
