Medallion Cabinets do not have one universal public price list; dealers price orders based on cabinet line, dimensions, finish, and local installation rates. A typical kitchen order may run about $12,000-$35,000 for cabinets alone, with installation bringing many projects to $16,000-$45,000 or more.
Door style, storage upgrades, kitchen size, and whether the quote includes installation are the biggest price drivers. The estimates below are planning ranges, not manufacturer quotes, and should be confirmed with an authorized dealer.
| Item | Low | Average | High | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cabinets only | $12,000 | $22,000 | $35,000+ | Typical medium kitchen order |
| Installed cabinets | $16,000 | $29,000 | $45,000+ | Cabinet installation, excluding counters |
| Cabinetry per linear foot | $200 | $350 | $600+ | Approximate cabinet-only equivalent |
| Installation labor | $3,000 | $6,000 | $10,000+ | Varies with removal and site conditions |
Assumptions: U.S. dealer pricing, standard kitchen layout, midrange finish, and no countertops or appliances.
What Medallion Cabinets typically cost by kitchen size
For a small kitchen with roughly 15-20 linear feet of cabinetry, a practical allowance is $8,000-$18,000 for cabinets alone. A medium kitchen with about 25-35 linear feet commonly falls around $12,000-$35,000. Large kitchens with islands, tall pantry units, and extensive drawer storage can reach $30,000-$60,000 or more before installation.
A medium kitchen often budgets about $22,000 for the cabinet order, before labor and other remodeling expenses. These totals assume a mix of base and wall cabinets, standard cabinet depths, and a conventional layout. Linear-foot pricing is only a rough comparison because tall cabinets, corners, and drawer bases cost more than simple wall cabinets.
At an approximate $200-$600 per linear foot, a 30-foot layout suggests $6,000-$18,000 when treated as a simple run. Actual dealer orders can exceed that calculation because the kitchen has multiple cabinet types, finish choices, decorative pieces, and storage options. A full order quote is more reliable than multiplying a single rate by the room perimeter.
Assumptions: 25-35 linear feet, standard ceiling height, no major layout change, and typical U.S. market rates.
Which cabinet and labor charges appear on a dealer quote
A Medallion quote may separate cabinet units from trim, delivery, installation, and removal, or combine them into one project total. Ask for a cabinet schedule showing quantities, sizes, model or series, finish, and upgrades. Comparing quotes is difficult if one includes fillers and finished panels while another lists only cabinet boxes.
| Quote component | Typical range | What changes the charge |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet boxes and fronts | $12,000-$35,000 per kitchen | Quantity, door style, finish, and construction |
| Interior storage and organizers | $300-$3,000 per kitchen | Pull-outs, tray dividers, and drawer inserts |
| Panels, fillers, and trim | $500-$3,500 per kitchen | Island panels, crown, light rail, and scribe work |
| Delivery and handling | $250-$1,200 per order | Distance, access, and order size |
| Installation labor | $3,000-$10,000 | Cabinet count, leveling, and removal scope |
Labor rates often work out to about $75-$125 per hour for skilled cabinet installation, though many contractors quote the project rather than hourly. A basic kitchen can require 30-50 crew hours; complicated layouts, modifications, or uneven walls can take 60 hours or more.
Check whether the stated total includes delivery, trim, removal, and installation before comparing dealer prices. Countertops, plumbing, electrical work, flooring, and appliance costs are normally separate. Taxes and contractor overhead may also be itemized or built into the quote.
How door style, finish, and cabinet width shift the price
Door construction and finish are major price levers. A simple painted or stained door in a standard configuration generally costs less than an elaborate profile, specialty finish, or custom color. Depending on the selected series and options, a finish or door upgrade can add roughly 10%-30% to the cabinet portion of an order.
Cabinet size and configuration matter just as much. A standard 30-inch base cabinet is not priced like a wide drawer stack, blind corner unit, or tall pantry cabinet. A specialty corner cabinet or pull-out unit may add $200-$800 per cabinet compared with a basic storage unit. Glass fronts, decorative ends, and matching panels also increase the total.
Storage accessories can make a modest order grow quickly. Roll-out trays may add about $100-$300 each, while larger drawer organizers, waste pull-outs, and fitted pantry systems can add $200-$1,000 or more per unit. A kitchen with 8-12 upgraded storage units could add $1,000-$4,000 beyond the basic cabinet layout.
Request the quote in the exact door, finish, and cabinet configuration planned for the kitchen. A showroom display price may reflect a different construction level or added accessories. Confirm whether the chosen finish is standard for the quoted collection and whether the price includes matching finished sides and exposed ends.
Assumptions: Approximate upgrade amounts vary by collection, dealer, and current product availability.
Ways to control the Medallion order without losing needed storage
Keep the cabinet footprint close to the existing layout when possible. Moving a sink, range, or refrigerator can trigger plumbing and electrical work as well as additional cabinet fitting. Retaining existing appliance locations may save hundreds to several thousand dollars in related labor, even though it does not change the cabinet unit price directly.
Choose upgrades where they solve a real storage problem. Standard shelves can be adequate in occasional-use cabinets, while pull-outs may be worthwhile in a deep pantry or base cabinet used daily. Reducing specialty inserts across several cabinets can save $500-$2,000 without changing the visible door style.
Compare the same cabinet schedule across at least two dealers. Confirm identical sizes, finish, construction, accessories, delivery terms, and installation scope. A lower number may omit crown molding, finished ends, or installation, so request a written list of exclusions before choosing a quote.
Control the number of specialty cabinets and decorative add-ons before downgrading the overall cabinet quality. Avoid ordering before final appliance dimensions and measurements are verified; correcting a wrong cabinet size can mean replacement fees, delay, and extra labor. Ask the dealer to identify which items are optional and price them separately.
Three kitchen layouts show how the estimates add up
A small 18-linear-foot kitchen with a standard finish and limited accessories might have a $9,000 cabinet order, $3,000 installation, and $600 delivery and trim. The approximate installed cabinet total is $12,600, before counters and other trades. This example assumes the existing layout stays in place and no demolition is required.
A 30-linear-foot medium kitchen could include a $22,000 cabinet order, $5,500 installation, and $1,500 for panels, trim, and delivery. The resulting $29,000 estimate is about $730 per linear foot installed, although that figure includes fixed project charges and should not be treated as a unit rate for every layout.
A larger 42-linear-foot kitchen with an island, pantry cabinets, and several drawer upgrades might cost $38,000 for cabinets, $8,500 for installation, and $2,500 for delivery and finish details. That produces an estimated $49,000 cabinet project. Specialty storage and finished island panels account for part of the increase.
These examples illustrate scope differences, not fixed Medallion prices or guaranteed dealer quotes. Regional labor, selected series, access, and cabinet specifications can move actual bids outside these ranges. Each example excludes countertops, appliances, flooring, painting, plumbing, and electrical changes.
| Kitchen scenario | Cabinet order | Installation and extras | Estimated total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small, 18 linear feet | $9,000 | $3,600 | $12,600 |
| Medium, 30 linear feet | $22,000 | $7,000 | $29,000 |
| Large, 42 linear feet | $38,000 | $11,000 | $49,000 |
When removal, wall repairs, and delivery raise the bill
Removing old cabinets can add about $500-$2,500, depending on cabinet quantity, disposal access, and whether the contractor also removes a backsplash. Dump fees and hauling may add $150-$600. If the existing cabinets are already removed, confirm that wall preparation is complete before the installer arrives.
Walls that are out of plumb, uneven floors, or unusual ceiling heights can require extra scribing, shimming, and trim work. These conditions may add several hundred dollars to more than $2,000, depending on the room. Moving or carrying cabinets through narrow stairs, long distances, or restricted building access can also increase labor or delivery fees.
Delivery charges commonly range from $250-$1,200, but remote addresses or special handling can cost more. Ask whether delivery includes unloading, inspection, and bringing boxes into the home. Check the order for damaged or missing pieces promptly, since return and replacement timing can affect the installation schedule.
Clarify demolition, disposal, wall preparation, and delivery access as separate quote items. This makes it easier to distinguish the cabinet price from the cost of preparing the room and handling the shipment.
How installation time and regional labor affect the total
A straightforward kitchen installation usually takes a two-person crew about 3-6 working days after the room is ready. A larger kitchen, island, complex crown molding, or extensive leveling may take 1-2 weeks. These ranges exclude ordering and manufacturing lead time, which the dealer should provide for the specific selection.
Labor prices are often higher in major coastal metros and high-cost urban markets than in smaller towns. As a planning adjustment, installation can run roughly 10%-25% above a national midrange estimate in expensive metro areas, while some rural markets may come in 5%-15% below it. Local contractor availability and project access can outweigh broad regional averages.
For example, a $6,000 midrange installation allowance could rise to about $6,600-$7,500 in a high-cost market, before unusually difficult site work. A rural quote might fall near $5,100-$5,700, but travel or limited crew availability can erase the difference. Compare local bids with the same labor scope rather than relying on regional percentages alone.
Installation is a local service charge, not a fixed percentage of the cabinet order. Ask installers whether they include leveling, fillers, crown, appliance panels, and cleanup, and whether plumbing or electrical reconnections are excluded.
Repairing or reusing cabinets versus ordering new ones
If cabinet boxes are structurally sound and the layout works, replacing doors or refinishing may cost less than a full Medallion order. Professional cabinet painting or refinishing can run roughly $2,000-$7,000 for a typical kitchen, while new doors and drawer fronts may cost $4,000-$12,000 depending on quantity and finish. These options do not provide the same layout changes or new interior storage.
Replacing only a few damaged cabinets can be practical when matching sizes and finishes are available. However, older finishes may not match a new order exactly, and changing one cabinet can require trim or panel adjustments. A partial replacement may cost $1,000-$5,000 or more, including fitting and finishing, depending on how many units are involved.
Full replacement makes more financial sense when boxes are swollen, damaged, poorly laid out, or incompatible with desired appliances. The cabinet order is only one part of a renovation; demolition, counters, and trade work can make a complete kitchen project substantially more expensive than cabinetry alone.
Compare the cost of repairing the existing boxes with the cost of a complete cabinet schedule before committing. A dealer can price a smaller replacement order, while a contractor can assess whether the existing cabinets are suitable for refinishing or reuse.
Questions to settle before accepting a Medallion quote
Ask which Medallion collection or product line is specified and whether the quote includes the exact door, finish, and construction options selected. Request an itemized cabinet list with dimensions and quantities. If the dealer has shown a display kitchen, confirm that its upgrades are included in the written estimate rather than assumed.
Check the stated total for delivery, installation, fillers, toe kicks, finished ends, crown molding, and decorative panels. Ask how damaged or missing components are handled, what the order-change deadline is, and whether the quoted price can change after final measurements. The dealer should also explain payment milestones and any deposit requirements.
A useful quote makes the product specification, exclusions, and installation responsibility clear in writing. Compare at least two complete proposals using the same room measurements and cabinet schedule. A low quote that leaves out essential trim or labor may not be the lower-cost option after those items are added.
