Every cabinet company in Edmonton hides its pricing, and the question people actually type into Google is some version of what does this cost. Here is what really drives the number, so you can work out roughly where your kitchen will land before anyone comes to measure it.
Finish is the biggest lever, and it surprises people
The boxes are the same. The finish is where the labour lives. Moving from melamine doors to painted adds roughly a third to the cabinetry line. Painting both sides of the door rather than one adds close to half again. Stained maple can add seventy per cent. If a quote comes back higher than you expected, the finish is the first place to look, and it is the easiest thing to change without redesigning the room.
Tall cabinets cost far more than they look
A full-height pantry bank runs roughly four times what the same length of base cabinets costs. More material, more hardware, and a harder install. Two tall units can move a quote by several thousand dollars on their own, which is why that conversation belongs before the drawing is finished rather than after.
Countertops are a separate purchase that arrives with the cabinets
Depending on the stone, expect somewhere between $85 and $150 per square foot installed once cutouts are included. On a mid-sized kitchen that is four to eight thousand dollars of the total, and it is often the line people forget when they set a budget.
Layout complexity costs you time, not money
A square room is forgiving. Angles, out-of-level floors and existing bulkheads all mean cutting to the site rather than to the drawing, which is where lead time goes. It affects the schedule more than the price.
What is usually included, and what is not
Ask any company whether the price is installed or supply-only, and what happens if the install runs long. Our pricing is quoted installed, with delivery, installation, crown moulding and 36 inch uppers in the base number rather than bolted on afterwards. There is a minimum charge on very small jobs, because a two-cabinet laundry still takes a crew a day.
What we need before we can quote you properly
Three things, and none of them require an appointment. The room measurements including ceiling height and where the windows and doors sit. A photograph of the space as it stands today. Some sense of the finish you have in mind, even if that is just a picture you like. With those we can put a real range in front of you.
If you want to see the work first, the project gallery is the shortest route, and the custom kitchen cabinets page covers how a kitchen actually gets built. For a whole house rather than one room, start with residential cabinetry.
