Home renovations can make your home more functional and more valuable. Nowhere are renovations more impactful than in the kitchen. According to Forbes, the National Kitchen and Bath Association estimates that cabinets represent nearly 30% of the total cost of a kitchen remodel. If you are planning a kitchen remodel, then you will definitely want to give some real thought to the kitchen cabinets. Let’s look at kitchen cabinet costs and a few things that affect that cost.
How Much Cabinetry You Need
As with any home improvement project, there is no one budget that fits all. There will be many different factors that affect the cost of your kitchen cabinets. One of the biggest factors will be the size of the space. How much cabinetry will you need to be installed? Obviously, a very small kitchen will not be as expensive as a very large kitchen with a lot more room for cabinetry.
What Kind of Cabinet Grade You Choose
The grade of cabinets you choose is really the deciding factor on cost. The most common types of cabinet grades are custom, stock, and semi-custom. Custom cabinets are completely built to your specifications. This is the premium type of cabinet. These are usually built of better quality materials and can be finished according to your requests. It also adds the most value to your home overall. Custom cabinets usually range from $500-$1200 per linear foot.
Another type you can choose from is semi-custom cabinets. These cabinets range in price from $150-$650 per linear foot. It's important to keep the price in mind, so you can ensure you stay within your budget during this project.
The last option is stock cabinets. Stock cabinets range in price from $100-$300 per linear foot. Although stock cabinets are less expensive and built of lesser quality materials, they are still a good option for tight budgets.
