Cost Guide 2025
Kitchen Cabinet Cost Guide
Stock vs. semi-custom vs. fully custom — what cabinets actually cost, what drives the difference, and how to maximize your budget.
Stock Cabinets
$5,000–$10,000Examples: Hampton Bay, American Woodmark, Aristokraft, Schuler
Pre-built in standard size increments. Limited door styles and finishes. Particleboard box construction in most lines. Fast availability. Best for rentals, secondary kitchens, and budget-only projects. Not recommended for primary kitchen renovations in Westchester.
Best for: Rental properties, secondary spaces, tight timelines
Semi-Custom Cabinets
$15,000–$35,000Examples: KraftMaid, Kemper, Fabuwood, Bellmont, Merillat, Diamond, Shenandoah, Waypoint
Built to order in 3-inch size increments. Wide door style and finish selection. Plywood box construction in premium lines. 4–8 week lead time. The right choice for most Westchester primary kitchen renovations.
Best for: Primary kitchens — the best value tier
Premium Semi-Custom
$25,000–$50,000Examples: Medallion, Omega, StarMark, Dura Supreme, Kitchen Craft
Custom sizing available. Wider door style depth. Inset door options in some lines. Closer to custom quality at semi-custom speed. A strong choice when semi-custom basics aren't enough but full custom is out of budget.
Best for: Kitchens where custom sizing or inset doors are desired
Fully Custom Cabinets
$40,000–$120,000+Examples: Wood-Mode, Cabico, Plain & Fancy, Rutt
Made to exact specifications — any size, any finish, any configuration. Hand-applied finish options. Made in USA or Canada by skilled craftspeople. 8–14 week lead times. The benchmark of American cabinetry.
Best for: Luxury kitchens, complex layouts, inset door standards
What moves the number up or down
- Number of cabinets and linear feet
- Door style (flat-front vs. shaker vs. raised-panel)
- Finish (painted costs more to produce than stained)
- Accessories (pull-out trays, rollouts, built-in organizers)
- Installation complexity (island configuration, ceiling-height upper cabinets)
- Specialty items (glass doors, open shelving, appliance garages)
