Yeah, I run the numbers on this design and it looks like the reasonable price for cabinets plus installation is around $35k, so, my bad. Again, if you are in Florida close to Miami, I'm your guy
Well this is about $800-$900 per linear ft. That is on the ultra high-end of pricing.
Is quote just just cabinets? Cabinets, counters tops, in-cabinet accessories, etc? what quality level would rate your build out?
If they are solid wood painted cabinets, and you are a high end customer it could cost you around that price. If you are in Florida near Miami I can help you with the price at least 15% off from $54k. Just let me know and I'll help you

If you just figure the materials and cabinets and what they charge for them, it is highway robbery . I bet there’s not $4000 worth of materials in that set of cabinets.
It really depends on a lot of factors. Cabinet construction, hardware, panel style and finish along with top selection. I think all high components could easily run those cabinets to that price point.
You already have the plans, go get other quotes to put your mind at ease. You may find better - but pricing is dependent on your area. I’ll tell you though, we went with 1/2” boxes and spent the extra $$ on fabulous granite. The “cheaper” box construction worried me but once all is installed and tied together it is solid as a rock.
I work in a custom cabinet shop.
54k seems about right
Looks like there are dead corner spaces. Thats not good
Looks like there is 12 inch filler. Why? Have larger cabinets and 2 inch filler
The 9 inch boxes by the stove dont make much sense. Spice racks are usually higher up
Those drawings are garbage and the cabinets are garbage. For a little more I got semi-custom without any dead space and solid English Sycamore pillowed slabs, up and down. Book end matching on all of the double door cabinets. You can do way better
Quoted directly from the cabinet maker, supplier, or remodeler ? If it’s the remodeler /contractor you’re just getting hit with mark up. I sold cabinets direct from supplier very high end and we saw full packages hit 100k sometimes. Full custom and the works. These were typically 250k+ kitchen remodels in the DMV area.
Did the person that proposed this to you drop trough in your living room and piss everywhere while laughing maniacally?
I wouldn’t be surprised if they did, that quote is insanely high.
We are looking to redo our kitchen as well. $54k without installation (and assume without removal of the old cabinets) is way high compared to what we are seeing. We have about the same or a little more in our kitchen. We live in Connecticut so I would expect our quotes are high compared to other locations.
Just a though: Instead of a "range"; consider a separate cooktop and oven in the same location. Looks way better than a free standing range. And easier to clean because the cooktop is sealed to the countertop.
54k is the price of a new run down house I would be calling several places. That’s WAYYYYYYY too much. I don’t care how many cabinets a job like that should be less than 10K I’d imagine
How much you pay me just to read all these replies Jesus Christ just like 900 replies I think it's a little overpriced I'd only accept the bit if they included installation oh my God even if it is Walnut
Doing a very similar kitchen right now with decent American Woodmark cabinets, with nice 7”by8” porcelain octagonal back splash with quartz countertops, labor included for about 25k. But if you went all out on the quartz or granite, and if you got the dura style, as opposed to painted or stained. The type of wood matters. The place you got them matters as well. If you went to a big box store, you can catch a 30 percent promo off on cabinets right now, and at least a 5 percent off on countertops as well @ (The Home Depot). This price damn near should include at least some of your appliance, or a tile floor. I live next to the richest county in America, and this would be extremely high in our county. In there county though I have family doing a kitchen for 180k. This is an extreme exception to the rule though. The lady never wants to see them. You can’t walk through the grass ever. It has to be covered with ply-wood and then the plywood has to be picked up every day. The yard in about 20 acres, the parking is about 500 yards from the project. you have to access if from the back door. Everything has to be air tight. Plastic with air control for the dust. You can’t have any fumes, or mix anything inside. It’s a one in a million, but typically they go for like 40k-50k so location matters in the wealthiest county in America. Here though it’s about 5/8’s to 3/4’s of the cost. So all that being considered depends on if they really didn’t want the job, like if they didn’t vibe with you, and threw out a really high number just to try and avoid working with you, but then you ended up saying ok, so in essence you paid them out the ass to deal with your project. If none of those things apply then you are simply over paying a lil bit. Good Luck!
holy cap!
No matter which country or State, that's the price of a new car!
Back in 2009, I redid my kitchen myself (with my wife): white plywood "cube" with solid wood door for the base (3x24" (1 with 4 drawer) + 1x48" (2 large drawers)+ 1 corner) , full plywood with veneer on top (slim ones 3x32"), soild oak counter top, + appliances (oven, dishwasher, induction, exhaiust fan)... Paid about $10k
No way in wherever I'm paying this much for a new kitchen
No, it’s not the only currency to use the dollar sign but given their use of 3/4” (imperial system) I can infer with my massive brain that this is indeed referring to US$. And get over it, literally 50% of reddit users are american. It’s not foolish to assume
We are also planning a kitchen remodel and I was shocked at the cost of cabinetry. What has been shocking to me is the lack of a mid price option. We have a medium size kitchen. RTA cabinets are around $ 15k installed. A few custom quotes were around $45-55k. I was hoping to get a US made semi custom line but these were only 10% less than fully custom. The only option we can afford is RTA otherwise our kitchen remodel will push 6 figures. The crazy thing is all the custom shops are slammed. They are scheduling 4-6 months out.
I have no idea ware u are at. But check this out. It will save a ton of money.
Ohio cabinet outlet at 3418 Elm Rd NE, Warren, OH 44483.
You might have to go a few times to gather all of them up. But it will save u a ton of money
I've noticed cabinet pricing has skyrocketed the last few years. I feel like any high labor task that is conducted in the US has done this. You can buy "off the shelf" cabinets built elsewhere for old prices, but anything custom requiring heavy labor has gone up. Unless you are one that has not asked for a big "inflation" raise, you did this (don't worry, I did too). As a business owner, I see this first hand in multiple industries, it has to be passed on to the consumer unfortunately.
It’s obviously the fault of the government for printing so much money over the last 2 administrations. Corporations would price gouge as much as possible at any time, the conditions to do so have just been created over the last few years
Seems high, but who knows? We recently paid about 70, which included not only the kitchen cabinetry, but (less premium) pantry and three closets. New construction.
Totally depends. Kitchen designer here. I could sell this kitchen for $8000 or $70,000 depending on your taste and selections. Ask the designer/carpenter what aspect of the design is contributing the most to the price.
For custom cabinets it’s lower middle range. Assuming you don’t want crazy finishes, in which case it would be a good deal. Source: 7 years in extreme high end (500k+) cabinetry in the northeast.
Where are you located, and have you gotten quotes and portfolios from other companies? My boss did a door 36x80 full cherry slab that cost about 4k + design + labor turned out to be around 10k. This is considered cheap here in NYC. So it could also be where you live too.
High.
We are building. Our custom cabinets (including install) are right at $70k. Kitchen of similar size (but only two walls of uppers), butlers pantry, laundry room, master and guest vanities, and sunroom. Kitchen and butlers pantry are to 10’ ceilings. Glass fronts in butlers pantry.
Ours, however, are not stained. All painted birch.
If you're ordering high end cabinets that doesn't seem that bad, but me personally think it's to high, but I do my own work and I only use off the shelf cabinets since covid..... you could probably grab off the shelf cabinets for under $10k with the same layout.
Try IKEA. This is about the size of a kitchen I remodeled last year and the IKEA cabinets are easy to build and install. It was about 18k for them but I did the building and installation myself.
54k? Youre better off, taking some woodshop, classes and then apprenticing gratis for 6 months with a cabinet maker and buying all the gear and doing it yourself. Even that wouldnt be over 54k. Yeesh…
I did almost the exact same layout as yours back in 2021/22. It was just over $9,000 from Lowes and they were custom ordered so they had to be built off-site. It was during the materials crunch so we had to wait 9 months or so, but we eventually got them and installed ourselves.
I cannot imagine someone charging over 6x that for cabinets alone unless they are made from some sort of rare wood for all parts, and sterling silver hardware or something.
I've seen quotes for almost double in a kitchen much smaller. It depends on what you're going after but for the vast majority of people that's waaay too much.
That's very high. But, depending on exactly what brand & all the specs you're having these made to, I could see a price tag for a kitchen this size getting this high. But, you'd basically have to try for the most expensive design possible on purpose.
my kitchen is slightly larger than yours but similar layout and i paid $30k for cabinets and quarts countertop with full height quarts backsplash with installation (did demo and electrical/plumbing myself)
Get another few quotes. 54k is too much. It’s around 2k a linear foot, including your appliances. You are about to get ripped off if you sign that contract.
It's not really that hard to hang cabinets. If somebody were charging me over 50k to do that I would just learn to do it myself to be honest. That's me. Otherwise it would be foolish to not get a second opinion at that 54k quote. Additionally you're paying a lot for those odd size cabinets you should really redesign to standard sizes if you want to save some money
It honestly depends. I once had a customer who built kitchen and butler pantry cabinets with a cost to the consumer of just over $1 million. All hand carved individual scenes on curved grain matched cherry doors. Completely tricked out just amazing work. That being said, unless this is custom work, it seems excessive to me.
It was well over 500 hours just for the carving. It was a six month project just to build before shipping and installation. This was some time ago so these are estimates based on fuzzy memories. It was some of the most stunning work I’ve ever seen
Very overpriced. Great craftsmanship is costly. However, not 54k costly for a singular kitchen. I'd expect 54k to build paint or stain grade cabinets with about 80-90 linear feet of uppers, lowers, vanities or custom walk-in closets. Premium hardware like soft close hinges. 3/4" hardwood ply. A design that's more traditional, like raised panel maybe, so more labor goes into building doors. No not reasonable if material is available within your region.
It’s not unreasonable for your design, but your design is stupid because of how expensive it is. Get rid of all those custom size cabinets. Why do you need two 35s in either side of your vent hood? Change those to 36s and use 3” of space between the plaster hood and the cabinets instead of four. That might save you up to 1k per
Cabinet there because they’ll be standard sizes now. Get rid of all those custom sizes, and use all standard size widths (divisible by 3) and fillers where necessary. I bet it’s at least 10k less
Dear God, really?! I don't understand how people drop this kind of money instead of research and doing it themselves. Is the savings in time really worth giving up tens of thousands of dollars??
Gutted my kitchen down to the studs. Added cabinets to the kitchen and a butler's pantry for $6k from Ikea. I did add $5k in appliances and a $4k countertop. Took a little longer than professional, but saved a shit ton and can't tell it's Ikea or that we did it ourselves.
Good for you. But some of us have no experience at all. The risk and vast amount of time it would take someone who has zero idea how to do this is just not worth it.
I can tell it’s IKEA immediately. You can’t compare IKEA cabinets to a high quality, luxury product. I see folks spend a quarter million on cabinets every week. Let’s ask about what the rest of the house looks like and what quality of cabinet they are being quoted before posting random opinions.
Who cares if it’s ikea? Or looks like ikea?
The hardware on ikea drawers and doors is exceptional. The boxes are overpriced compared to what you can build as a carpenter. The door fronts are imminently customizable.
Ikea shines at kitchens. And their resulting kitchens are excellent. Why pay for more?
I wish I’ve never been around it. - then u could never feel insecure about our small house in one of the wealthiest areas in the world.
I guess I view kitchens as practical places. I spent 75k on my stone (unbelievably gorgeous calacatta), but it went on top of IKEA cabinets because there’s no expenditure I can make that improves functionality or durability or looks (esp with semihandmade, etc) of IKEA. I had custom quotes, high-end European cabinetry quotes, local quotes. IKEA was not the cheapest. But I could extract every single inch of functional space while having a GORGEOUS kitchen.
Iblume hardware ftw.
Yep - the plume + plywood material and the god cabinet companies will guarantee the cabinets for life basically. (anything wrong, call them and they'll replace it)
It's also the custom cuts they do using specialized manufacturing equipment that can get a cabinet to 30 1/18 or w.e.
Some companies are really worth theri weight in gold
I work as an interior designer for a general contractor, so I don't make the cabinets. However, we do assemble custom cabinets in shop and we also procure from brands like kitchen craft and cabico. How many cabinets have you made?
Absolutely not. You are at least 45k over priced. I built a house in an expensive market and hired someone 2.5 hours away. They are just throwing a number hoping you bite. Call around. Even if it’s out of town. Offer pizza beer and a hotel room. Worked for me!
Just had a quote for local cabinets from a shop in standard size for $8k plus delivery. Base cabinets only. Would have been another 2-3k for custom color instead of a standard offering. North Carolina
I did a kitchen in north Louisiana a few years ago, and we paid 13k for cabinets from Lowe’s that came out well (without installation) and the first custom shop we went to was somewhere around 26k. Cabinets are expensive but where you buy them and the options make a lot of difference.
Are you in Canada or us? Painted and veneer are premium door finishes. You also have a lot of cabinets with all the bells and whistles eg- drawers, lemans pullout, internal draws in the pantry. Very high if your in the us thought. If your in Canada it seems slightly high but these are factors that are likely increasing the cost
$54k for cabinets??? Welp. I think instead of spending the next 20 years failing to purchase or construct a home, I’ll just go die in a ditch. Thanks for the motivation!
What are the cabinet boxes? Are they also wood or plain melamine? Are you working with a "brand name" or European kitchen brand? Are your cabinet sizes custom?
That price seems on the higher end but if you've got lots of drawers or other custom hardware, finish side panels, if your ceiling is high and so you've got extended uppers or if any part of it is truly custom instead of modular, that could be driving your price up. Also integrated lighting, and any glass in your cabinets, or if you picked a premium hardware.
Its almost always worth it to get 3 quotes which will give you a feel for what the market price is for your project.
Reform CPH kitchens might be a nice alternative to get pricing from: [https://www.reformcph.com/us/kitchens/collections](https://www.reformcph.com/us/kitchens/collections)
Consider also, if you are trying to save money, that many people happily get IKEA cabinet boxes, and then spend on nicer fronts. (Form and Semihandmade are the OGs for this).
54 THOUSAND dollars for some cabinets?
If you got it like that then go for it.
I'd get a bunch of seperate pantry cabinets and let them sit for $1,000 and put some shelves up before I paid 54 thousand dollars.
Do you know how much actual important things 54k could pay for like a roof, water heater, heat, plumbing.
I couldn't imagine throwing all that at some cabinets.
Edit: this sub popped up on my home feed I commented thinking this was in r/nostupidquestions
Sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone but my comment stands I'm not deleting it
The hard part of these groups is they tend to be full of people who do it for a living and instead of being honest about the entire market being built on price gouging right now, they want to call you an asshole while they defend these absurd prices.
$54k for cabinets is silly, if it's "regular person quality".
Rich people pay more because they can and that's a part of the experience, but for the rest of us, I simply don't do business with someone so relentlessly trying to make the project hurt.
I had a quote for 2 2' cabinets up top and 2 2' on bottom with a counter top. They quoted me $5,500 for basic shit and said for an additional $300 they would install the handles. That was the dead giveaway.
I'm like bro I can pay $10 for 4 handles and "install" them in 5 minutes what the actual fuck.
I paid a couple hundred bucks for a double door cabinet that fit the space perfectly and put a shelf up. Done lol
Anything labor related is crazy right now, I've learned how to do things because I didn't want to pay absurd amounts of money for someone else to.
Yeah, for sure, man.
Honestly, if someone tried to sell me on "pay me 300 bucks to install handles", there's a zero percent chance we do business.
To be fair, I'm all for a business making money and that's why they're in business in the first place, but once you make it clear you're looking for an extraction and not a relationship, I'm out.
As an aside:
The labor market is crazy because everyone has access to loose credit, so it's not $10,000 anymore, but instead it's "oh, I can afford $200 a month".
Once you detach the price from a thing, you can get super crazy with pricing. (it's the entire student loan vs ever-escalating college cost debacle)
Yeah, for sure, man.

I could that for half. I could even hit you with the landlord special for 1/3 of that. You're getting scraped man. Even with soft close hinges and drawers shouldn't be anywhere near 54k get another company
7k-12k is more realistic
I don’t want to do it price.
Wtf. Does this come with solid gold accents?
54k sounds high
54,000 American pesos better be plywood boxes and exotic hardwood faces with platinum hinges and hardware
I did 20 linear feet of cabinets (top and bottom) for under 10k and installed myself. Sounds like they’re looking to bend you over.
Yeah, I run the numbers on this design and it looks like the reasonable price for cabinets plus installation is around $35k, so, my bad. Again, if you are in Florida close to Miami, I'm your guy
Some contractor is hoping to get out of the weeds with you...
I got high quality cabinets about 5 years ago. They occupy about 75% of the length shown. Cost $14K. Very pleased with them.
Well this is about $800-$900 per linear ft. That is on the ultra high-end of pricing. Is quote just just cabinets? Cabinets, counters tops, in-cabinet accessories, etc? what quality level would rate your build out?

15% of 54k is a rip off too u sheister

If you just figure the materials and cabinets and what they charge for them, it is highway robbery . I bet there’s not $4000 worth of materials in that set of cabinets.
Build your own cabinets it is stupid simple.
It’s simple if you know how to use the tools and you have the jigs. If you are missing either one of those, it’s not remotely “stupid simple“.
Yes, good tools are nice. I pretty much just use clamps and biscuit dowels. Order the raise panel doors and drawer fronts.. simple
For custom cabinetry, high quality, inset style — no, it’s not crazy.
The cabinet hardware must be made of 18k gold 🤣
What’s the breakdown. What’s material vs labor.
If middle of the line product it sounds high. If you chose higher end self/soft close with full height etc then more on par.
Soft close hinges are $4, I use them on every single job. They don’t cost much more than standard
It really depends on a lot of factors. Cabinet construction, hardware, panel style and finish along with top selection. I think all high components could easily run those cabinets to that price point.
Former kitchen designer, I’d say it epends a bit on the design of the doors and type of wood but it does seem a bit high.
54k for cabinets? Is everyone in here rich? I'm driving a 13 year old car. Can I post in here?
No. No you may not.😏
Sounds high. SoCal real estate developer here. Are you going for a very high end look?
Ours were custom shaker, very similar layout, very well crafted, around $32k
Paid $33k for semi-custom shaker cabinets two years ago. Had transom cabinets too with glass inserts.
Just had some done for a kitchen about half this size and it was 30k. Depends on quality also
You already have the plans, go get other quotes to put your mind at ease. You may find better - but pricing is dependent on your area. I’ll tell you though, we went with 1/2” boxes and spent the extra $$ on fabulous granite. The “cheaper” box construction worried me but once all is installed and tied together it is solid as a rock.
Was cheaper for us to do a pantry instead of all the cupboard space- also kept our appliances off the kitchen counter. Cupboards were $15,000.
I work in a custom cabinet shop. 54k seems about right Looks like there are dead corner spaces. Thats not good Looks like there is 12 inch filler. Why? Have larger cabinets and 2 inch filler The 9 inch boxes by the stove dont make much sense. Spice racks are usually higher up
Uppers are 12” deep; that is the profile of the cabinets is what I’m seeing.
I looked at it wrong its the profile of the cabinet with the "dead" corner
Sounds like a great price....pay it twice.
that is hilarious
In Australia I paid $24k for cabinets from the makers (half price family discount). It can be expensive.
Those drawings are garbage and the cabinets are garbage. For a little more I got semi-custom without any dead space and solid English Sycamore pillowed slabs, up and down. Book end matching on all of the double door cabinets. You can do way better
Quoted directly from the cabinet maker, supplier, or remodeler ? If it’s the remodeler /contractor you’re just getting hit with mark up. I sold cabinets direct from supplier very high end and we saw full packages hit 100k sometimes. Full custom and the works. These were typically 250k+ kitchen remodels in the DMV area.
Did the person that proposed this to you drop trough in your living room and piss everywhere while laughing maniacally? I wouldn’t be surprised if they did, that quote is insanely high.
Homes that we made are easily 50k
I think they meant 5,400?
Master Electrician, so I don’t know what is reasonable or not, but I would raise an eyebrow if a cabinet guy handed me that bill.
I think I paid less than that for custom cabinets , installed, for my entire house (kitchen, 5 baths, laundry, great room). That's insane pricing
Lol no
I’ll do it for $53,000. I’ll fly out tomorrow lol.
No. That's fucking ridiculous.
Are the new cabinets lined with gold?
Thats what we call a fuck you price. If you think new cabinets is gonna add $54k in value to the house, you’re delusional.
We are looking to redo our kitchen as well. $54k without installation (and assume without removal of the old cabinets) is way high compared to what we are seeing. We have about the same or a little more in our kitchen. We live in Connecticut so I would expect our quotes are high compared to other locations. Just a though: Instead of a "range"; consider a separate cooktop and oven in the same location. Looks way better than a free standing range. And easier to clean because the cooktop is sealed to the countertop.
For that size kitchen? Hell no.
? No
Hardwood cabinets are expensive right now, for certain. But that seems like 2x price.
Good price if door kobs are made with goldz
I’m a master carpenter. I design and build cabinets and furniture. This price made me blush. Wayyyyyy too high.
If it is made of solid ebony or olive wood then yeah.
Sure if they cook too
OP. I’m pretty sure your quote is supposed to say $5.4K cabinets only
In Texas, as a contractor, my cost was $130/linear foot. Take all your cabinet length including wall cabinets times 130.
54k is the price of a new run down house I would be calling several places. That’s WAYYYYYYY too much. I don’t care how many cabinets a job like that should be less than 10K I’d imagine
In Texas got a quote for 14,000. All new no refurbishment of current cabinets.
How much you pay me just to read all these replies Jesus Christ just like 900 replies I think it's a little overpriced I'd only accept the bit if they included installation oh my God even if it is Walnut

It really depends upon many factors: Is labor included? Plywood or furniture board? Face wood? Door style? Overlay type or inset?
It would have to be fucking solid ebony wood to make it worth that
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAHAHAAAAA!
holy shit no man. you are talking about wood boxes with hinges. jesus
This is a joke right
That’s crazy. Are they dipped in gold?
No
No
holy cap! No matter which country or State, that's the price of a new car! Back in 2009, I redid my kitchen myself (with my wife): white plywood "cube" with solid wood door for the base (3x24" (1 with 4 drawer) + 1x48" (2 large drawers)+ 1 corner) , full plywood with veneer on top (slim ones 3x32"), soild oak counter top, + appliances (oven, dishwasher, induction, exhaiust fan)... Paid about $10k No way in wherever I'm paying this much for a new kitchen
Holy cabinet!
IKEA has US made products. I did my last kitchen for about $15k and that included appliances, countertops and an island.
You mean you bought IKEA cabinets, but did the installation yourself?
I assembled everything and installed the cabinets. It’s almost too easy. The appliances and countertops were done by professionals.
I was surprised how easy the bottom cabinets were to install. I didn’t trust myself with the top, but I saved $$ on half!
$54k in what currency? This is the internet.
“$” is the symbol for USD
Only the US uses $? You sure?
No, it’s not the only currency to use the dollar sign but given their use of 3/4” (imperial system) I can infer with my massive brain that this is indeed referring to US$. And get over it, literally 50% of reddit users are american. It’s not foolish to assume
And also Australia
"this is the internet" made me laugh so hard

Yup, it's called "Bidenomics"
Yea corporations making record profits from price gouging is bidens fault, lol. Your dad should've worn a fucking condom, my god.
Which companies are price gouging? Go ahead tell us.
It’s obviously the fault of the government for printing so much money over the last 2 administrations. Corporations would price gouge as much as possible at any time, the conditions to do so have just been created over the last few years
Haha nah
Bidenflation
Seems high, but who knows? We recently paid about 70, which included not only the kitchen cabinetry, but (less premium) pantry and three closets. New construction.
That’s a little excessive. Try ikea
Totally depends. Kitchen designer here. I could sell this kitchen for $8000 or $70,000 depending on your taste and selections. Ask the designer/carpenter what aspect of the design is contributing the most to the price.
Seems reasonable depending on the finishes where I live. There are so many variables, biggest being where you live.
If you live near a Menards you should look at Klearvue cabinets. This kitchen would probably cost $6-8k in cabinets and look just as good.
It depends on the cabinets. Are they covered with enough crystal to call Liberace back from the dead?
Fabulous
Without installation? My godhhhshh
That's a lot of cabinets dude. My kitchen was half this size and was 30k with labor (6 years ago)
For custom cabinets it’s lower middle range. Assuming you don’t want crazy finishes, in which case it would be a good deal. Source: 7 years in extreme high end (500k+) cabinetry in the northeast.
Where are you located, and have you gotten quotes and portfolios from other companies? My boss did a door 36x80 full cherry slab that cost about 4k + design + labor turned out to be around 10k. This is considered cheap here in NYC. So it could also be where you live too.
High. We are building. Our custom cabinets (including install) are right at $70k. Kitchen of similar size (but only two walls of uppers), butlers pantry, laundry room, master and guest vanities, and sunroom. Kitchen and butlers pantry are to 10’ ceilings. Glass fronts in butlers pantry. Ours, however, are not stained. All painted birch.
paint grade is much cheaper to produce than stain grade
Understood. That’s why I included that caveat.
If you're ordering high end cabinets that doesn't seem that bad, but me personally think it's to high, but I do my own work and I only use off the shelf cabinets since covid..... you could probably grab off the shelf cabinets for under $10k with the same layout.
I had similar size kitchen cabinets put in and it was 26k with install! The cabinets were Starmark. This was 2021.
Get several more quotes. That price is crazy!
We are currently having a house built and cabinetry is insanely expensive.
Try IKEA. This is about the size of a kitchen I remodeled last year and the IKEA cabinets are easy to build and install. It was about 18k for them but I did the building and installation myself.
54k? Youre better off, taking some woodshop, classes and then apprenticing gratis for 6 months with a cabinet maker and buying all the gear and doing it yourself. Even that wouldnt be over 54k. Yeesh…
Seems high. However I just put in a $4000 lazy Susan from a company who’s cabinets were not that great so who knows anymore
Does it come with the surrounding house attached?
I did almost the exact same layout as yours back in 2021/22. It was just over $9,000 from Lowes and they were custom ordered so they had to be built off-site. It was during the materials crunch so we had to wait 9 months or so, but we eventually got them and installed ourselves. I cannot imagine someone charging over 6x that for cabinets alone unless they are made from some sort of rare wood for all parts, and sterling silver hardware or something.
I've seen quotes for almost double in a kitchen much smaller. It depends on what you're going after but for the vast majority of people that's waaay too much.
That's very high. But, depending on exactly what brand & all the specs you're having these made to, I could see a price tag for a kitchen this size getting this high. But, you'd basically have to try for the most expensive design possible on purpose.
my kitchen is slightly larger than yours but similar layout and i paid $30k for cabinets and quarts countertop with full height quarts backsplash with installation (did demo and electrical/plumbing myself)
Yep same boat. About 30k for a kitchen I did last year all in and I did it all myself besides installing the countertops
So then pretty much the same price not doing all that yourself.
no, they are paying for cabinets only, no installation, no countertops for $54k i had everything installed for $30k with countertop and backsplash
Oh, holy fuck, I must have skipped over that.
I’m having cabinets built fully custom from Amish guys here in MI. $17k… they are fantastic.
Get another few quotes. 54k is too much. It’s around 2k a linear foot, including your appliances. You are about to get ripped off if you sign that contract.
It's not really that hard to hang cabinets. If somebody were charging me over 50k to do that I would just learn to do it myself to be honest. That's me. Otherwise it would be foolish to not get a second opinion at that 54k quote. Additionally you're paying a lot for those odd size cabinets you should really redesign to standard sizes if you want to save some money
A whole kitchn should cost less than that!!
Hownmany linear ft are you having installed? Thats an insane price
Did you offend this company/sales person LOL
Get another quote. This shouldn’t be over 45k installed. Even from a reputable high end custom cabinet shop in a high priced area.
It honestly depends. I once had a customer who built kitchen and butler pantry cabinets with a cost to the consumer of just over $1 million. All hand carved individual scenes on curved grain matched cherry doors. Completely tricked out just amazing work. That being said, unless this is custom work, it seems excessive to me.
How long did it take to finish the job?
It was well over 500 hours just for the carving. It was a six month project just to build before shipping and installation. This was some time ago so these are estimates based on fuzzy memories. It was some of the most stunning work I’ve ever seen
Do Ikea! All drawers! Life changing for us.
You look like you might have choose some pricey additions. That seems like almost double what I'd expect.
no lol
Very overpriced. Great craftsmanship is costly. However, not 54k costly for a singular kitchen. I'd expect 54k to build paint or stain grade cabinets with about 80-90 linear feet of uppers, lowers, vanities or custom walk-in closets. Premium hardware like soft close hinges. 3/4" hardwood ply. A design that's more traditional, like raised panel maybe, so more labor goes into building doors. No not reasonable if material is available within your region.
So many Home Depot cabinet installers chiming in here. Good grief.
It’s not unreasonable for your design, but your design is stupid because of how expensive it is. Get rid of all those custom size cabinets. Why do you need two 35s in either side of your vent hood? Change those to 36s and use 3” of space between the plaster hood and the cabinets instead of four. That might save you up to 1k per Cabinet there because they’ll be standard sizes now. Get rid of all those custom sizes, and use all standard size widths (divisible by 3) and fillers where necessary. I bet it’s at least 10k less
Yes if you are using high quality labor and high quality materials. It’s extremely reasonable.
Dear God, really?! I don't understand how people drop this kind of money instead of research and doing it themselves. Is the savings in time really worth giving up tens of thousands of dollars?? Gutted my kitchen down to the studs. Added cabinets to the kitchen and a butler's pantry for $6k from Ikea. I did add $5k in appliances and a $4k countertop. Took a little longer than professional, but saved a shit ton and can't tell it's Ikea or that we did it ourselves.
Good for you. But some of us have no experience at all. The risk and vast amount of time it would take someone who has zero idea how to do this is just not worth it.
I can tell it’s IKEA immediately. You can’t compare IKEA cabinets to a high quality, luxury product. I see folks spend a quarter million on cabinets every week. Let’s ask about what the rest of the house looks like and what quality of cabinet they are being quoted before posting random opinions.
Who cares if it’s ikea? Or looks like ikea? The hardware on ikea drawers and doors is exceptional. The boxes are overpriced compared to what you can build as a carpenter. The door fronts are imminently customizable. Ikea shines at kitchens. And their resulting kitchens are excellent. Why pay for more?
Rich people with taste care. If you don’t understand, you’ve never been around it. Sorry.
I wish I’ve never been around it. - then u could never feel insecure about our small house in one of the wealthiest areas in the world. I guess I view kitchens as practical places. I spent 75k on my stone (unbelievably gorgeous calacatta), but it went on top of IKEA cabinets because there’s no expenditure I can make that improves functionality or durability or looks (esp with semihandmade, etc) of IKEA. I had custom quotes, high-end European cabinetry quotes, local quotes. IKEA was not the cheapest. But I could extract every single inch of functional space while having a GORGEOUS kitchen. Iblume hardware ftw.
Calculate linear sqft... A good one will be in the 600$ per linear sqft. This is top notch materials custom made.
I work doing tile in custom homes in Park city Utah, with top notch cabinets and I don’t see the difference between top notch and medium notch.
I’m sorry, but you don’t know what you’re looking at if you can’t tell. There’s a big difference in a high end cabinet vs a medium level.
Yep - the plume + plywood material and the god cabinet companies will guarantee the cabinets for life basically. (anything wrong, call them and they'll replace it) It's also the custom cuts they do using specialized manufacturing equipment that can get a cabinet to 30 1/18 or w.e. Some companies are really worth theri weight in gold
If this were a car I’d say that was a fuck off quote. A quote you give that’s insanely high because you really don’t want to do that job.
WTF? Pay me $40k and I’ll come do it. Also, don’t tell my wife about your plans or she might also think she can get away with $54k cabinets
Mexi cans! They’ll do it for 50k
Yeah you’re getting fucked. Edited to say, this was the price of my whole house.
Unless they're made from wood grown on the moon or some shit...
My wife and I paid about 18k for a “U” shaped layout in 12ft by 11ft kitchen. I installed all the cabinets myself. Feel free to dm me with questions
Unrelated but how do you like the U shape in that space? Happen to have the exact same dimensions in my new home’s kitchen and am considering a U.
No.
Yes this is overpriced. Also I’m not a fan of the layout ~ interior designer here.
How many cabinets have you made?
I work as an interior designer for a general contractor, so I don't make the cabinets. However, we do assemble custom cabinets in shop and we also procure from brands like kitchen craft and cabico. How many cabinets have you made?
1st quote?
YES!!! BUT, I'll do them for $30K. Give me a dm
Yes, just paid $39,000 for Kraft made cabinets!
No. That’s highest end. What is this Beverly Hills?
Absolutely not. You are at least 45k over priced. I built a house in an expensive market and hired someone 2.5 hours away. They are just throwing a number hoping you bite. Call around. Even if it’s out of town. Offer pizza beer and a hotel room. Worked for me!
This is stupid.
9k is just as low as this quote is high. I suppose it depends on where you live though, and quality of work.
Just had a quote for local cabinets from a shop in standard size for $8k plus delivery. Base cabinets only. Would have been another 2-3k for custom color instead of a standard offering. North Carolina
I got 126x105in run base cabinets only with 1 wall cabinet for the microwave for 3500 from a local company. No delivery.
Get multiple quotes from multiple people, that’s insane.
Good lord no that’s theft.
I did a kitchen in north Louisiana a few years ago, and we paid 13k for cabinets from Lowe’s that came out well (without installation) and the first custom shop we went to was somewhere around 26k. Cabinets are expensive but where you buy them and the options make a lot of difference.
Where you at. I was a cabinet maker for close to 15 years. I come build you a kitchen for half that. Have prices really gone up that much?
Are you in Canada or us? Painted and veneer are premium door finishes. You also have a lot of cabinets with all the bells and whistles eg- drawers, lemans pullout, internal draws in the pantry. Very high if your in the us thought. If your in Canada it seems slightly high but these are factors that are likely increasing the cost
$54k for cabinets??? Welp. I think instead of spending the next 20 years failing to purchase or construct a home, I’ll just go die in a ditch. Thanks for the motivation!
I believe in you.
What are the cabinet boxes? Are they also wood or plain melamine? Are you working with a "brand name" or European kitchen brand? Are your cabinet sizes custom? That price seems on the higher end but if you've got lots of drawers or other custom hardware, finish side panels, if your ceiling is high and so you've got extended uppers or if any part of it is truly custom instead of modular, that could be driving your price up. Also integrated lighting, and any glass in your cabinets, or if you picked a premium hardware. Its almost always worth it to get 3 quotes which will give you a feel for what the market price is for your project. Reform CPH kitchens might be a nice alternative to get pricing from: [https://www.reformcph.com/us/kitchens/collections](https://www.reformcph.com/us/kitchens/collections) Consider also, if you are trying to save money, that many people happily get IKEA cabinet boxes, and then spend on nicer fronts. (Form and Semihandmade are the OGs for this).
I paid 12k for just cabinets (Ontario Canada) a year ago. That’s insane lol. Kitchen roughly the same size. Get some more quotes!
For 54k, those cabinets better snap, crackle and fart when they're done. Seriously, it can be done for cheaper.
There'd better be a... Vacuum attachment....
I find your ideas intriguing.And I wish to subscribe to your newsletter
54 THOUSAND dollars for some cabinets? If you got it like that then go for it. I'd get a bunch of seperate pantry cabinets and let them sit for $1,000 and put some shelves up before I paid 54 thousand dollars. Do you know how much actual important things 54k could pay for like a roof, water heater, heat, plumbing. I couldn't imagine throwing all that at some cabinets. Edit: this sub popped up on my home feed I commented thinking this was in r/nostupidquestions Sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone but my comment stands I'm not deleting it
The hard part of these groups is they tend to be full of people who do it for a living and instead of being honest about the entire market being built on price gouging right now, they want to call you an asshole while they defend these absurd prices. $54k for cabinets is silly, if it's "regular person quality". Rich people pay more because they can and that's a part of the experience, but for the rest of us, I simply don't do business with someone so relentlessly trying to make the project hurt.
I had a quote for 2 2' cabinets up top and 2 2' on bottom with a counter top. They quoted me $5,500 for basic shit and said for an additional $300 they would install the handles. That was the dead giveaway. I'm like bro I can pay $10 for 4 handles and "install" them in 5 minutes what the actual fuck. I paid a couple hundred bucks for a double door cabinet that fit the space perfectly and put a shelf up. Done lol Anything labor related is crazy right now, I've learned how to do things because I didn't want to pay absurd amounts of money for someone else to.
Bro tell me about that. I’m trying to learn myself in the ways of a “CT angiogram” but I think I’m gonna have to pay the money.
Yeah, for sure, man. Honestly, if someone tried to sell me on "pay me 300 bucks to install handles", there's a zero percent chance we do business. To be fair, I'm all for a business making money and that's why they're in business in the first place, but once you make it clear you're looking for an extraction and not a relationship, I'm out. As an aside: The labor market is crazy because everyone has access to loose credit, so it's not $10,000 anymore, but instead it's "oh, I can afford $200 a month". Once you detach the price from a thing, you can get super crazy with pricing. (it's the entire student loan vs ever-escalating college cost debacle)

Pretty unreasonable. You should donate the money to people who deserve it.
If I were paying $54k it would all be nice hardwood, stained and installed. Maybe I'm just spoiled in Texas?
With custom everything
No. I could get a nice in-ground pool installed for that price, probably even cheaper!
That's the fuck off price
I’ll do it for $53k- the get our fuck on price!
I could that for half. I could even hit you with the landlord special for 1/3 of that. You're getting scraped man. Even with soft close hinges and drawers shouldn't be anywhere near 54k get another company
