I had custom cabinets made. Originally, my husband and I were going to do the install so that was not figured into the price.

I am a recently laid-off cabinet installer who has always been paid by the hour. Download Krautkramer Usn 50 User Manual Free. Now that I am looking to charge by the kitchen, I was wondering if any one out there could give me some advice on how much to charge. I know there are a lot of factors affecting the price, but how much can an installer expect to.

Now, some other things have come up that takes our time, so we're considering letting the cabinet shop folks do the install. We asked for a price and it came back high to us. But we don't have much for comparison. Скачать Игру Вторжение Звездные Войны Мод Много Денег На Андроид on this page. We have 8 lowers and 7 uppers plus a shallow can storage type cabinet.

Crown that will go on the cabinets plus the rest of the way around the room and light rail. The cabinet shop gave us a price of $1,600. That comes out to about $100 per cabinet. Does that sound high or normal? I am in the medium size city in the midwest.so not generally a high rent district. Average home pricing is under $100K here.

Most of y'all are estimating way too low for a good quality experienced cabinet installer. My 'average' kitchen install labor is around $2500-$3500. It's not just the attaching the boxes to the walls. It's the molding being done correctly and looking good.

It's getting everything level in all 3 dimensions and making that look good too. It's time consuming and tricky. ALl it takes is one look at all of the issues that Plumeriavine has posted to see what a bad install can look like. Any Joe Schmoe can do a bad install and make wonderful cabinets look like crap. It takes talent to install budget cabinets and make them look like top end.

It can be done---with the right installer. When you have even better quality cabinets to begin with, the install looks even better! BTW, those $79 a box cabinet installs that you see the box stores advertising don't include a single stick of molding or any side panel installation or any corbels or anything beyond pretty much just attaching the cabinets to the wall and putting on the toekick. A good kitchen install is SO much more than that! I agree with live wire oak, installing cabinets is much more that hanging a box on a wall. Installed properly, inexpensive cabinets can look great and high end cabinets can look spectacular. The cost of cabinets will vary greatly depending on the quality of the cabinets, the wood, the door style, the finish, the internal accessories and the external embellishments (ie decorator end panels, stacked crown, carved mouldings, columns etc.).

Most of those things do not impact the time it takes to install the cabinets so it is not realistic to expect the price of installation to be a percentage of the cabinet price. In Northern California it is realistic to expect to pay $2500 - $3500 for installation of an average size kitchen with crown moulding and other trim work. My husband and I are very good DIY people, but we are not finish carpenters. On this project, we did all the demo, all the electric, plumbing, gas lines, ceiling repair, venting, painting etc. We did not do window install or flooring install.

Generally, we are not afraid to try anything, but my concern at this point is that the final look could turn out bad. I know the devil is in the details. We are considering seeing if we can do the base cabinets and then have them do the uppers which has the crown/light rail etc.

But not sure how much they would cut their price for that. Still on a kitchen remodel that is already over budget, $1600 is a lot of cash. At this point, I'd be using one of the zero interest credit card offers that landed in my box. I just paid off our other credit card debt before this project so I hate to go back down that path again. Cabinet guys said they can do it next week. If hubby & I do it, it will probably be at least 2 weekends worth of work. We can't really do much during the week because we both work full time AND I go to school 2 nights a week and have to do homework on the other nights.

So,it comes down to 'can we get it right ourselves' and 'how long do we want to wait?' If I pay the $1600, I can probably be cooking in my new kitchen before the first day of spring. If we do it ourselves, realistically, it'll be Easter. Tough decisions. 'Uppers go in first.'

Not necessarily. I installed my cabinets alongside an experienced pro he goes lowers first. He has a good reason for it but i forget. He uses a small lift/jack to move the uppers in place.

So if you're hiring a pro for the uppers the lowers installed shouldn't be a deal breaker. $100 per cabinet is on the high side. Home depot charges about that and thats after they pay the actual contractor and also make some money off the top. Someone said 10% of the cabinet cost.

By that logic cherry cabinets should cost more to install than oak and thats not the case.
