| Typical costs: | - Stock cabinets come pre-made in specific styles, shapes and finishes. A lot depends on the size and shape of your kitchen and the total linear feet of cabinets needed. Basic cabinets (top and bottom) for a 10x12-foot kitchen start at $4,000-$5,000 and up, not including installation and countertops.
- Semi-custom cabinets let you choose from among a number of options, because they're built after you place your order. They're about double the cost of stock; a 10x12 kitchen begins at $8,000-$10,000 with costs rising for glass fronts, hand-crafted finishes, exotic woods, intricate trim patterns or other options.
- Cabinets custom-made in a particular design or to fit in a specific layout can cost as much as four times stock prices, or $16,000-$20,000 and up, uninstalled and without countertops.
- IKEA.com's free downloadable kitchen planner lets you plug in the size and shape of your kitchen and details such as door, window and electrical outlet locations, then choose and place various IKEA cabinets. The planner automatically calculates the total materials costs.
What should be included: | - Quality cabinets are built like good furniture; ThisOldHouse.com shows the inner construction, so you know what to look for.
- NaturalHandyman.com presents step-by-step instructions for installing ready-made cabinets. Even if you're not doing it yourself, this lets you know what to expect during an installation.
Additional costs: | - New kitchen countertops on lower cabinets may add to the bottom line.
Shopping for kitchen cabinets: | - Collect photos of appealing cabinets. BettersHomesandGardens.com provides online slide shows.
- Scrapbook.com presents handy diagrams of typical kitchen layouts, plus links to manufacturer and retail sites ranging from discount offerings to custom cupboards.
- The National Association of the Remodeling Industry gives contractor referrals.
- Ask about previous projects, licensing and insurance; check references and the Better Business Bureau. A written contract should specify materials, labor, scheduling and any payment plan. Make a minimum deposit and pay when the job is completed.

I'm a contractor in SD and can tell you that the price you're being quoted is halfway what an entire kitchen remodel might cost you new, especially considering that your kitchen is smaller than usual (10x10 norm). Bids and estimates are unique to each client and without specifics on your posting, it's hard to say if the quote is fair.
Items such as relocated plumbing, new gfci outlets, new energy efficient lighting, and mechanical work (hood or other venting requirements) can add significant cost to your remodel. Having said that, you might want to ask for the cost of new cabinets instead of resurfaced. These days, the cost of labor is significant, especially if the gc is following state and federal employer requirements like worker's comp, liability insurance, and payroll taxes. Depending on what's involved in "resurfacing" (sanding & repainting/staining? or simply replacing the doors with some cosmetic work to the cabinet boxes). The countertop price is also a price that can fluctuate wildly based on the slab material (corian, granite, butcherblock, etc.), its size and finish, and configuration.
Generally, it's hard to say with little information how much things cost, but sites like these best help by giving consumers a RANGE. For best results, do it the old way...get three bids from reputable contractors and check their references.
Good luck. |

I wanted a target cost before I let my vision go too far. Do I paint the counter-tops and existing cabinets, replace one cabinet for a pantry right now until I can afford an entire kitchen? I had to begin someowhere so I found this quite helpful. I read the comments and I do understand this doesn't include specialty finishes, countertops and hardware including faucets and disposals. I just needed an idea of what it would cost for me. Thank you. This is very helpful. Now I know I've got a long way to go before I can redo my entire kitchen. |
