Kitchen cabinets are not created equal. Some are worth the money while others are overpriced. Our cabinet experts explain the best approach to comparing estimates for this important component of your kitchen remodeling project.
One of the most common ways to pinpoint the perfect contractor for your kitchen cabinet upgrade is to compare estimates from prospective contractors for the full kitchen remodel. Once these full estimates are in-hand, it is time to perform an in-depth comparison to determine which is ideal for your unique kitchen. However, this comparison will take some time and effort. You might find it is so overwhelming that you opt for more of a basic approach as detailed below.
Kitchen cabinets typically have a 30 inch wide base with a single drawer positioned over a couple doors. There can also be an adjustable shelf along with cabinet walls that are 30 inches high and wide. This average kitchen cabinet has two doors. These standards serve as a kitchen cabinet litmus test of sorts. Find out the price of such components and use it as a point of comparison for other cabinet options. You will find a wide range of prices, some of which are perfect for a DIY solution and others more like budget busters.
If you are thinking about adding ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinets to your kitchen, get some quotes from a couple suppliers. It might be necessary to collect prices for cabinet boxes from a supplier, prices for hardware from a separate supplier, doors from another and so on. This challenge will prove quite easy as RTA cabinet providers are quite helpful when it comes to identifying sources for materials necessary. In fact, the majority, if not all of this work can be completed on the web.
It is often said there is no sense in comparing apples to oranges. It is best to compare similar kitchen cabinets to one another to gauge if the prices actually have merit. Try to pinpoint cabinets from several suppliers that are fairly similar in terms of material, finish, general quality and warranty. This way, you can get an idea as to whether the requested price is actually a competitive market rate.
The cabinet purchase price is not always representative of the total cost. There might be delivery charges to account for. Furthermore, charges might apply for a professional contractor’s assembly and installation of the cabinets. Make sure all of this information is available at the outset of the price comparison project so you know exactly what each cost in-full.
Once you collect all of the information outlined above, you will have everything you need to make an educated decision about your kitchen cabinet purchase. Take your time, review all of the details and do not hesitate to reach out to the kitchen cabinet professionals for assistance.

What a great experience to have such a reliable, professional company come to work in our condo! Zayne was so nice and helped us find the perfect cabinets for our kitchen. Dion, who works for Zayne did a wonderful job in completing the projects. We also had electrical, painting, and additional carpentry completed. Everything went just the way we wanted. We could not be happier. We are also going to get additional pricing for more work that we want to have done in our condo in the future.
