How to use this result
  • Linear foot pricing covers cabinet boxes. Hardware, soft-close upgrades, glass fronts, and crown molding are usually billed separately.
  • Countertop sqft is fabricator-billed area, which typically rounds up to the next full slab. Expect higher per-sqft pricing on small jobs because of waste.
  • Material cost above excludes labor. Local installed cost below pulls a typical Kitchen Cabinet Installation or Kitchen Remodel (Combined) bid for your scope.
