Fabuwood Allure cabinets commonly cost about $5,000-$12,000 for the cabinets in a typical 10-by-10-foot kitchen, before installation; a broader installed project often runs $8,000-$20,000. Final pricing depends on cabinet count, door style, finish, layout, local labor, and whether the quote includes delivery, hardware, removal, or countertop work.
| Item | Low | Average | High | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cabinets only, 10-by-10 kitchen | $5,000 | $8,000 | $12,000 | Standard layout and common Allure selections |
| Installed cabinets, 10-by-10 kitchen | $8,000 | $13,000 | $20,000 | Includes typical installation, not counters |
| Cabinet pricing by linear foot | $150 | $250 | $400 | Approximate cabinet-only comparison rate |
| Installation labor | $2,000 | $4,000 | $7,000 | Depends on cabinet quantity and site conditions |
Start with a measured cabinet plan and keep the existing appliance and plumbing locations when practical. Avoiding layout changes can reduce trade costs and limit the need for custom fillers or adjustments. Use standard cabinet widths where the plan allows, and reserve specialty units for places where they solve a real storage or access problem.
Keep the cabinet schedule stable before the dealer places the order. Late changes can cause restocking fees, added delivery charges, or delays, and some cabinet items may not be returnable. Have the dealer check measurements, appliance clearances, door swings, and finished end requirements before approving the order.
- Compare at least three itemized dealer or contractor quotes using the same cabinet list and installation scope.
- Separate essential cabinets from optional organizers, decorative trim, and upgraded hardware; add upgrades only where their value is clear.
- Ask whether a simpler finish or door option changes the price, and request the difference in writing.
- Keep usable existing cabinets if they fit the redesigned layout and match the intended finish; replacing only damaged units may reduce the order but can create color or style differences.
- Schedule delivery and installation when the site is ready, reducing storage, repeat-trip, and rescheduling charges.
Do not reduce cost by skipping careful measurement, wall checks, or proper fastening. Errors can lead to costly modifications or replacement pieces. A lower bid is meaningful only when it includes the same cabinet model, sizes, panels, delivery, installation standards, and warranty terms.
What to Verify Before Accepting a Fabuwood Dealer Estimate
Fabuwood Allure pricing is not necessarily published as a universal consumer price list. Dealers may apply different discounts and markup, so the useful comparison is the written quote for the exact order. Check the line items for model or door style, finish, cabinet dimensions, quantity, accessories, and any substitutions.
Request separate prices for cabinets, delivery, installation, demolition, and tax. The estimate should identify whether fillers, toe kicks, finished ends, crown molding, and hardware are included. Confirm the payment schedule, expected delivery window, warranty coverage, and who coordinates replacement of any damaged or incorrect cabinet.
Ask whether the contractor’s workmanship warranty is separate from the cabinet manufacturer’s product coverage. Also confirm who handles measurement and final fit. These details do not always change the listed cabinet price, but they affect the amount a homeowner may pay if a component is missing or installation needs correction.
A practical comparison sheet should record the cabinet subtotal, installation labor, delivery, removal, accessories, taxes, and exclusions for each bidder. With that breakdown, a $10,500 quote can be compared fairly with a $12,000 quote, rather than assuming the lower figure covers the same work.
