How much to pay for cabinet installation in kitchen..We will do all the demo.?

Question

5 upper cabinets 3 lower We are buying the stock cabinets from lowes.They charge 75 dollars to measure but we are replacing like for like cabinet No new configuration.Do they charge per sq foot per cabinet per hour

Answer 1

I am thinking that most box stores Lowes, home depot, ect.  charge about 50 to 80 dollars per cabinet.   I am a cabinet installer for a major cabinet manufaturer,  we get 25 to 40 per cabinet.  it's not difficult to do it yourself if you have a little help lifting the wall cabinets into place.

good luck

Answer 2

They should charge by the hou and already know how long its going to take if you are taking the cabinets out yourselves every state the rates change for jobs I live in New Jersey and I would charge $250 dollars for the job

Good Luck

Answer 3

Being a finish carpenter and just to hang and set cabinets it should not exceed 500.00 as stated above. But there could be extras such as trim, crown, etc. that I would charge a little extra for. The good thing about Lowes is they will back there installers if problems arise that is a plus and they are not going anywhere.

Answer 4

I believe Lowe's charges by the cabinet, I'm not sure how much they charge.

    This sounds like a very simple job. They can give you a price ahead of time. I would strongly suggest getting a couple of estimates for the installation of the new cabinets from some local carpenters.( you can buy the cabinets from Lowe's and have someone else install them)

   Lowe's sub-contracts all their installations to contractors.

I don't know where you live, but here in the Northeast I wouldn't pay More than $500 for this job, and that's a little high.

P.S. $75.00 is a little high just to measure 8 cabinets that are not getting re-configured.

P.S.S. This is a pretty easy job that a homeowner can do with basic tools and a little planning, and some common sense.

Hope this helps

Answer 5

  75 to measure?? Is that refundable if you buy the cabinets there? Better be..Get a seperate quote from a a couple local carpenters.. Pay only per cabinet.. No per hr wage EVER for most trades..With a seperate quote you may not be charged the  extra that most all businesses to sub out work.. This is common so get your cabinets from where ever and get a 2/3 seperate price which should be free from a local installer.. And get referances too and follow up on who ever you go with  GL
