The honest answer is “it depends,” but it depends on just a few things: how many feet of cabinets you need, which level of cabinetry you choose, and what goes inside the boxes.
Example ranges by level
| Level | Medium kitchen, cabinets only | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Ready-built | $11,000 – $20,500 | Rentals, flips, quick refreshes |
| 2 · Made to order | $21,000 – $37,000 | Most family kitchens |
| 3 · Custom | $38,000 – $68,000 | Statement kitchens |
| 4 · Inset | $67,000 – $119,000 | Historic and forever homes |

What moves the price most
- Drawers instead of doors. Drawer boxes cost more than shelves, and they’re worth it.
- Inserts. Pull-outs, spice racks and trash bins add up fast.
- Paint vs. stain. Painted finishes usually cost a little more than stain on the same door.
- Tall cabinets. Pantry walls and ovens towers are the biggest single boxes.
