How Much Will It Cost?

It has to be the most difficult question to answer for someone walking into our store. It's kind of like answering how long is a piece of string. There are a lot of variables to consider. What kind of countertop material do you want to use? What type of wood species? etc. There are many other questions must be considered before you can arrive at a reasonable estimate. Lots of intimidating questions, but all you want to know is a ballpark figure to see if you can even consider buying a new kitchen.

There are many different kitchen layouts but here are four basic shapes of kitchens. Below are four floor plans and perspectives, showing each of these types of kitchens layouts. We have priced all four plans using a solid wood door style. Choose the floor plan closest to your own and the wood species you might want in your kitchen. If your floor plan is twice as large as the one shown, double the price. If it's half as large, cut the price in half. Remember, you're just working on getting a "ballpark" figure for the cabinets only.

KITCHEN LAYOUTS AND BALLPARK PRICING

Choices that will affect the price of your cabinetry include: 1. Overall Floor Plan There are many ways to design any room. Generally the greater number of cabinet components, the higher the cost. IE: One 48" wide cabinet is less expensive than two 24" wide cabinets. But, the function may be increased by using two 24" wide cabinets with different interior features. 2. Door style A Solid wood door is more costly than a recessed plywood panel door. 3. Construction Type. With several different materials available for the interior of your cabinets. Melamine construction is the least expensive. You pay more for Plywood construction. 4. Accessories. Interior functional features, such as decorative options, moldings and decorative hardware are all additional costs. 6. Custom Cabinets. You can alter the dimensions on selected cabinets to customize them for your needs. This is added cost of standard sizes .
