AfterHow Much Does Cabinet Installation Cost in West Palm Beach?
Cabinet installation in West Palm Beach typically runs between $4,000 and $13,000 for a standard kitchen in 2026. That range covers a full kitchen’s worth of cabinetry: removal of old units, new cabinet boxes, doors, hardware, and professional installation labor. A smaller job – like a bathroom vanity or a single wall of cabinets – lands on the lower end around $1,500 to $4,000.
If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, expect cabinets alone to account for roughly 30 – 40% of your total budget. The numbers we’re sharing reflect what we see across Palm Beach County daily, from Flamingo Park to Ibis Golf & Country Club.
Homeowners deserve a straight answer before they commit. Here it is in writing.

Cabinet Installation Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here is the line-item breakdown for cabinet installation in West Palm Beach. These numbers assume a mid-range kitchen of roughly 10×12 feet with standard 8-foot ceilings. Your floor plan, finish selection, and existing conditions will shift these figures.
| Line Item | Cost Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Demolition & disposal of old cabinets | $300 – $800 | Includes haul-away; more if asbestos or lead paint remediation is required |
| Stock cabinets (materials only) | $2,000 – $5,000 | Ready-to-assemble or pre-assembled, limited sizes and finishes |
| Semi-custom cabinets (materials only) | $4,000 – $9,000 | More sizes, door styles, and finish options; built to order |
| Custom cabinets (materials only) | $8,000 – $25,000+ | Fully bespoke dimensions, wood species, and upgrades |
| Installation labor | $1,500 – $4,000 | Includes leveling, mounting, door and drawer alignment, crown molding |
| Hardware (knobs, pulls, hinges) | $200 – $800 | Standard hardware included in most lines; premium upgrades add cost |
| Crown molding & trim | $300 – $1,200 | Optional but common in West Palm Beach kitchens |
| Delivery | $150 – $500 | Depending on source and access; condo buildings may add elevator fees |
What drives cost up or down? Three things, mostly. First, whether you choose stock, semi-custom, or custom. Second, the existing condition of your walls and floors – if the drywall behind your old cabinets is water-damaged or out of plumb, expect prep work. Third, the site conditions: West Palm Beach homes built before 1970 often have plaster walls and uneven framing that slow installation.
We install name-brand cabinetry – KraftMaid and Wellborn are the two lines we specify most often. Both come with manufacturer warranties documented in writing, and both are traceable by model number. That matters when you need replacement parts five years down the road.
What Affects Cabinet Installation Pricing in West Palm Beach
- Cabinet grade and source. Stock cabinets from big-box retailers cost $60 – $200 per linear foot installed. Semi-custom from KraftMaid or Wellborn runs $150 – $400 per linear foot installed. Fully custom built by a local cabinetmaker starts around $400 and can exceed $1,200 per linear foot. The spec sheet determines the price.
- Home age and construction. In neighborhoods like El Cid and Sunshine Park, many homes date to the 1920s – 1950s. Plaster walls, sagging floors, and non-standard stud spacing all add labor hours. A 1950s ranch in Palm Springs with drywall will go faster than a 1926 Mediterranean with lathe and plaster.
- Kitchen size and layout. A galley kitchen with two walls of cabinets is straightforward. An L-shaped kitchen with a peninsula and an island involves more boxes, more leveling, and more finish work. More cabinets = more labor = more cost, but not linearly – economies of scale apply.
- Elevation and access. If you’re in a condo on the 12th floor of a CityPlace tower, delivery and demo logistics add cost. Elevator reservations, haul routes, and building management coordination are real line items.
- Plumbing and electrical interference. Relocating a sink or an outlet while cabinets are going in changes the scope. We coordinate with licensed plumbers and electricians, but their work is additional and itemized separately on your written estimate.
- Finish and hardware upgrades. Soft-close hinges, dovetail drawer boxes, pull-out trays, and finished end panels are add-ons that improve daily use. Each one adds $50 – $300 per cabinet. We list every upgrade separately so nothing is buried.
Cabinet Installation vs. Kitchen Remodel in West Palm Beach
There’s a difference between a cabinet installation and a full Cabinet Installation in West Palm Beach project versus a complete kitchen remodel. If your cabinets are the only thing being replaced, you’re looking at $4,000 – $13,000. If you’re gutting the kitchen – new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, appliances, plumbing fixtures, and electrical – the total in West Palm Beach typically lands between $14,000 and $45,000.
The cabinet line item stays the same. What changes is everything around it.
Stock vs. Semi-Custom vs. Custom: What You Actually Get
Stock cabinets ship in fixed sizes and a limited finish palette. They’re fast and they’re functional. Semi-custom cabinets start with standard boxes but allow you to modify depths, heights, and door profiles – and you get a much wider selection of finishes and hardware. Custom cabinets are built to your exact wall dimensions down to the inch, with any wood species and any configuration you can sketch.
For most West Palm Beach kitchens, semi-custom hits the balance. You get the exact look you want without the custom price tag. We show you the manufacturer catalog, order with written specs, and every cabinet arrives labeled with a model number. Nothing is left to guesswork.
Curtis Lane leads our team, and he reviews every cabinet order before it’s placed. That’s not a formality – it’s how we catch mistakes before they’re delivered to your driveway.
How to Save on Cabinet Installation
Saving money doesn’t mean cutting corners. It means making smart decisions before the first cabinet box is ordered.
- Keep the existing layout. Moving plumbing, gas, or electrical lines is expensive. If your current kitchen works, work with it. You’ll save thousands.
- Choose stock or semi-custom. Skip full custom unless you have an unusual space or a specific wood species in mind. Semi-custom from KraftMaid gives you most of the look at 40 – 60% of the cost.
- Reface instead of replace when it makes sense. If your cabinet boxes are solid wood and structurally sound, refacing (new doors, drawers, and veneer) runs $3,000 – $8,000. New cabinets run $4,000 – $13,000. Ask us before you throw away good boxes.
- Bundle with your remodel. If you’re already doing countertops or a backsplash, combining projects reduces mobilization and scheduling overhead. We itemize everything, and the combined price is always written down before work starts.
- Use standard door profiles and finishes. Premium paints, custom glazes, and specialty woods add 15 – 30% to the cabinet cost. Standard finishes look sharp and hold up well.

FAQs – Cabinet Installation Cost
How much does it cost to install kitchen cabinets in West Palm Beach?
Expect to pay $4,000 – $13,000 for a standard kitchen cabinet installation in West Palm Beach in 2026. That includes demolition of old cabinets, new cabinetry, hardware, and professional installation. Your exact number depends on cabinet grade, kitchen size, and existing site conditions. Call (728) 203-9809 for a written estimate – free, with no obligation.
Is it cheaper to reface or replace cabinets?
Refacing costs $3,000 – $8,000 for a typical West Palm Beach kitchen, while full replacement runs $4,000 – $13,000. Refacing saves money only when your existing cabinet boxes are solid wood and structurally sound. If the boxes are particleboard, swollen from humidity, or falling apart, replacement is the better long-term move. We’ll tell you which one makes sense for your cabinets – not which one makes us a bigger job.
How long does cabinet installation take?
Installation itself takes 2 – 5 days for a standard kitchen. But cabinets are built to order, so plan for 3 – 8 weeks between ordering and installation day. Stock cabinets can arrive in 1 – 2 weeks; semi-custom and custom run longer. We give you a written timeline at order signing and let you know immediately if anything shifts.
Can I install cabinets myself to save money?
You can, but we don’t recommend it. Cabinet installation requires precise leveling, structural anchoring into studs, and careful door and drawer alignment. A half-inch error multiplies across a run of cabinets. Improperly mounted upper cabinets can pull away from the wall under load. For a proper installation that holds, hire a professional. Call (728) 203-9809 to talk through your project.
What cabinets do you install?
We specify KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, among other name-brand lines. Both carry manufacturer warranties with documented specs and traceable model numbers. We also work with Cambria and Caesarstone for surfaces, Kohler and Moen for fixtures, and a documented roster of premium brands throughout your home. Every material is listed in writing on your estimate.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are free, and the price we provide is written. No numbers that move at the door, no surprise invoices. Call (728) 203-9809 to schedule a free estimate from Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach.
