Kitchen Cabinet Installation
Custom, semi-custom, and stock cabinet installs — properly leveled, plumbed, anchored, and finished with crown, light rails, and toe kicks so they look and operate the way premium cabinets are supposed to.
Cabinets Installed Like They Should Be
Cabinet quality is half the cabinet itself and half the install. Crooked floors, out-of-square walls, and rushed schedules ruin good cabinets. We level with shims, plumb with care, anchor into studs, scribe to walls, and finish with crown, light rails, and toe kicks so the cabinets look like one continuous piece of millwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
For 2026 in Bergen County, stock cabinet installs (10x10 kitchen) run $6,000-$14,000 installed. Semi-custom $14,000-$32,000. Full custom $30,000-$80,000+. Cabinet refacing $5,000-$14,000 if boxes are sound. Pricing and timelines are planning ranges.
Reface if the cabinet boxes are structurally sound, the layout works, and you want a faster cosmetic update. Replace if boxes are damaged, soft-close upgrade is desired, layout needs to change, or you want premium construction. We assess during the on-site visit.
Stock are limited sizes off the shelf, fastest install, lowest cost. Semi-custom adds size flexibility and finish options at moderate cost. Custom builds to exact specs with premium materials and any size or detail. We match the cabinet grade to the kitchen scope and budget.
Stock cabinet install: 2-4 days. Semi-custom: 4-7 days. Full custom: 7-14 days plus lead time. If counters and appliances are part of scope, add another 1-2 weeks for those phases.
