Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To calculate linear feet, measure the total length of wall space that cabinets will occupy. For L-shaped or U-shaped kitchens, measure each wall segment where cabinets are located and sum them. Remember to differentiate between upper and lower cabinet runs if they have different pricing structures for your business.
Yes, it is common practice to charge extra for assembling flat-pack cabinets. This is a time-consuming process separate from the actual installation. Some installers factor this into an hourly rate or charge a per-box assembly fee, as noted by one contractor charging '$90 if it's flat packs and they need to be assembled'.
The primary factors influencing the jump to premium costs are the complexity of the cabinet design (e.g., custom sizes, intricate details, specialized finishes), the need for highly specialized installation techniques, and the use of high-end materials that require extra care. Custom cabinet designs often fall into this 'Premium' tier because they demand more precise fitting and craftsmanship.
The best method depends on the project and your business model. Linear footage ($100–$300 per linear foot) is common for fixed layouts. Per-cabinet ($75–$150) may be better for smaller jobs or when cabinet count is easy to determine. Hourly ($38–$250) can be beneficial for complex jobs with unpredictable challenges or when customers frequently make changes, protecting you from unforeseen time expenses.
Uneven walls, out-of-plumb studs, or unlevel floors can significantly increase installation time. These conditions require shimming, scribing, and additional adjustments to ensure cabinets are level and plumb, which adds labor hours. It's crucial to assess these site conditions during your initial walk-through and factor potential remediation into your bid.
