- Upper and lower runsEstimates usually count uppers and lowers along the same wall as separate runs.
- InstallationUneven walls and floors take extra time to level and scribe.
How this estimate works
The calculator multiplies your cabinet length by the installed price range for the option you pick, then adds any extras you tick. The headline number is the midpoint of your range. Low-end prices fit simple jobs in lower-cost areas. High-end prices fit complex jobs, premium brands and high-cost metros.
Get at least three written quotes before you hire. Ask each contractor to list materials, labor, permits and disposal separately so you can compare them line by line. Read how we build our ranges.
Common questions
How do I measure linear feet of cabinets?
Measure the length of each run of base cabinets and each run of wall cabinets, then add them together.
Should I reface or replace?
Refacing keeps the boxes and replaces doors and fronts. It costs less when the boxes are sound.
How long do new cabinets take?
Stock cabinets can arrive quickly. Semi-custom and custom often take several weeks to build.
