Kitchen Cabinet Cost Calculator

Cabinetry is priced by how much of it there is, how it is built and how it is finished. Linear footage sets the baseline: a compact Hollywood condo galley at 14 feet and a large single-family kitchen at 34 feet are different projects before a single finish is chosen. The cabinet level then multiplies that baseline — stock, semi-custom and custom cabinetry are genuinely different products, not simply different price tiers of the same thing.

Door style and box material move the number in smaller but meaningful steps. Inset doors require tighter tolerances and more labor than overlay doors, which is why they sit at the top of the door range. Plywood boxes cost more than particleboard or MDF boxes and tend to be the more common recommendation for South Florida kitchens where humidity is a constant rather than a season.

Storage upgrades are where budgets quietly expand. Deep drawer banks, pull-out pantry shelving, interior organizers and appliance garages each solve a real daily annoyance, and each adds cost. It is usually worth listing them in priority order rather than treating them as one block, so that if the budget tightens you already know which ones matter most.

Finally, the high end of the range absorbs the unknowns. Floors that are out of level, walls that are not square, relocated plumbing or electrical, and older soffits that need removal all add labor. In homes built decades ago — which describes much of the Hollywood housing stock — at least one of those is common enough to plan for.
