What custom cabinetry costs.
Real installed ranges from our Miami shop, what moves the number, and how we structure payment. No square-foot guesswork.
What custom cabinetry actually costs in South Florida
Most cabinet shops will not publish numbers. We think that wastes everybody’s time — yours and ours. The table below is the honest range our projects land in, installed, based on the work leaving our Miami shop.
These are ranges, not a price list. Every job we quote is priced from a real cut list generated off your dimensions, which is why the estimate you receive is the price you pay.
| Scope | Typical installed range |
|---|---|
| Reach-in closet Single or double reach-in, shelving and hanging, drawer bank optional | $4,000 – $9,000 |
| Walk-in closet Full perimeter build, drawer banks, shoe and handbag storage | $9,000 – $22,000 |
| Dressing room Island, glass fronts, integrated lighting, seating | $22,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom vanity Floating or furniture-style, single or double, drawer boxes | $3,500 – $12,000 |
| Condo / galley kitchen Compact footprint, no island | $18,000 – $32,000 |
| Full kitchen Perimeter plus island, panelled appliances, tall pantry | $35,000 – $60,000 |
| Large kitchen + butler’s pantry Extended runs, secondary prep kitchen, specialty storage | $60,000 – $110,000 |
| Wall unit / library Media wall, bookcases, wine display | $8,000 – $35,000 |
| Full-home millwork Kitchen, closets, baths and built-ins as one package | $90,000 – $250,000+ |
Ranges are for cabinetry and installation in USD. They exclude countertops, appliances, plumbing fixtures, electrical and demolition.
What moves the number
- Linear footage and height. The single biggest driver. Running cabinets to the ceiling adds material and a second row of doors, but it also removes the dust shelf and usually reads as more finished.
- Door material and finish. A matte laminate slab door and a hand-finished lacquer or rift-cut white oak door can differ by a factor of three across the same kitchen.
- Interior fittings. Soft-close is standard in our work. Internal drawers, cutlery systems, pull-out pantries, lift mechanisms and integrated lighting are each a real line item.
- Panelled appliances. Integrated refrigerator and dishwasher panels require tighter tolerances and more material than a standard cabinet run.
- Geometry. Angles, curves, columns, soffits and out-of-square walls all cost more than a straight run — and are exactly where a custom shop earns its money against a stock box.
- Access. A high-floor condo with a service elevator reservation and a two-hour move-in window is a different install than a ground-floor house.
How we bill
- 65% at contract signing. Releases the job into engineering and material purchase.
- 20% at cabinet delivery.
- 15% at completion, once the punch list is closed.
Custom cabinetry is cut to dimensions that fit exactly one home, so the material commitment happens up front. That is why the first stage is weighted.
How to get a real number
Send whatever you have — a floor plan, a designer’s elevation, a photo of the room with rough dimensions written on it, or an AI-generated render. We will come back with a written estimate, and if the scope is not yet defined enough to price, we will tell you exactly what is missing rather than padding the number to cover the unknown.
