Kitchen Cabinets Installation Costs

Indoor Cost Guides      Kitchen Designers      Kitchen Cabinets Installation Costs

Whether it is part of a full remodel or just a quick upgrade, kitchen cabinets installation will alter the function and look of any kitchen. Larger kitchens with more cabinetry will always cost more, as will the addition of specialty cabinets and islands, and smaller kitchens run at substantially smaller expenditures – even with premium materials.

Of course, the difference between a new construction installation and cabinet replacement varies, too, with the new installs always less costly due to the lack of any demolition and hauling required. Each cabinet will take 60-90 minutes to install, so you can also expect to pay an hour or two of labor per cabinet that you are installing.
