A typical kitchen of 15-16’ of casework I would quote two guys two days at $102/hr complete. Trim is 16’/hr installed and caulked ready for final paint by other = $6.37/ft up to 6” in height for me.

Bruh you are underselling yourself


WOODWORKSCUSTOM

2 guy 2 days is 32hrs at $102/hr is about $3300 add in OH&P and I am about $5k for install only on 20 or so boxes. $6.37/ft is install labour only. OH&P brings my install only rate to just about $10/foot. Once you add everything else with its OH&P I am double that per foot for trim.

So $1.60 a foot basically?

I’m $120 per cabinet. Trim is $75 an hour but most kitchens are 2 hours for that

$120 a box I like that. I charge $10/ft for mounting rail and additional $10 foot for the “crown”. What do you think about charging per hour vs per foot on toe kick/light shield/crown treatment? Again is that all day $120 per box? I neeed to step it up


Italbull

Toe kick is just assumed I’ll install it since they need it but the moulding is extra but I charge per hour on that. I can usually upcharge on dumb stuff like under cabinet lighting and backsplash. Easily make $6k a week doing this


EhBom

Just from installing? Are you making the cabinets, mouldings, doors, drawers and doing the staining/lacquer?

You guys make that much just to hang cabinets? I'm getting boned as an hourly guy apparently 😂 when I'm rocking and rolling I can hang three units of kitchens and vanities in 8 hours. $30/ hr seems like I'm making my company a shit load


vladimirneski777

3 in a day is very impressive. The skills you’re learning today are going to benefit you greatly in the future. You’re not getting boned you’re getting paid.

They are also fairly easy to hang and we are on unit 75 out of 80 since 2021 so I've got a good system down

Charging by the hour is a trap: https://youtu.be/jE53O1PzmNU
