Wellborn Cabinets does not publish one nationwide price list; authorized dealers price orders based on cabinet line, layout, finish, and options. A typical kitchen may cost $8,000-$25,000 for cabinets alone, while cabinets plus professional installation often total $12,000-$35,000 or more.
The figures below are planning estimates, not manufacturer quotes. Door style, kitchen size, storage upgrades, delivery distance, and local labor rates can shift the final price substantially.
| Item | Low | Average | High | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cabinets for a 10-by-10 kitchen | $8,000 | $14,000 | $25,000 | Cabinet order; excludes installation and counters |
| Installed cabinet project | $12,000 | $22,000 | $35,000+ | Cabinets and standard installation |
| Cabinet pricing per linear foot | $300 | $600 | $1,000+ | Planning rate; varies by line and configuration |
| Installation labor | $2,000 | $4,500 | $8,000+ | Existing kitchen removal may cost extra |
What Wellborn kitchen cabinets typically cost
For a standard 10-by-10-foot kitchen with stock-size base and wall cabinets, a practical budget is $8,000-$25,000 for the cabinet order. A midrange order often falls near $14,000 before installation. Per-linear-foot estimates run roughly $300-$1,000+, but this measure is only a shortcut: corner cabinets, tall pantry units, and drawer banks can raise the price without adding much wall length.
Budget around $12,000-$35,000 for a typical cabinet-and-installation project. That range assumes a moderate-size kitchen, standard access, and no major plumbing, electrical, or wall repairs. Premium finishes and extensive custom sizing can exceed it.
Assumptions: U.S. dealer pricing, standard cabinet construction, ordinary delivery access, and no countertops or appliances.
How cabinet, finish, and installation charges add up
Wellborn quotes are generally built from the selected cabinet line and a room-specific order rather than a flat package price. The table shows common planning allowances for a midrange kitchen; actual dealer estimates may group charges differently.
| Quote component | Typical range | What changes the charge | Common unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cabinet boxes and doors | $8,000-$25,000 | Line, layout, sizes, and quantity | $300-$1,000+ per linear ft |
| Finish and door upgrades | $500-$4,000 | Paint, stain, glazing, and door profile | $50-$250 per cabinet allowance |
| Installation labor | $2,000-$8,000 | Room complexity and installer rates | $50-$100 per labor hour |
| Removal and disposal | $500-$2,000 | Old cabinet quantity and disposal access | $5-$15 per linear ft |
| Delivery and handling | $200-$1,000 | Distance, order size, and stairs | Per delivery or order |
Cabinet selection and installation are usually the largest parts of the quote. Taxes, permits, countertop work, and plumbing or electrical changes may be separate, so the written estimate should identify exclusions.
Which door styles and kitchen dimensions raise the quote?
Kitchen size matters, but cabinet configuration can matter just as much. A compact 10-by-10 layout with mostly standard-width units may sit near the lower end; a 15-by-15 kitchen with a large island and pantry storage can require substantially more cabinetry. Deep drawers, pull-out trays, appliance panels, and matching finished ends also add line-item charges.
Door construction and finish affect both material cost and the number of available options. A simple door and standard finish generally cost less than a detailed profile, specialty stain, or multi-step painted finish. Custom widths, ceiling-height cabinets above 42 inches, and nonstandard depths can increase the order total because they reduce reliance on standard sizes.
Ask the dealer to price the same layout in two door styles and finish levels. This makes the upgrade premium visible instead of comparing two quotes with different specifications.
How much do delivery, removal, and site repairs add?
Old-cabinet removal commonly adds $500-$2,000, with disposal fees and difficult access pushing the total higher. Delivery may run $200-$1,000 depending on distance, order size, and handling requirements. Walls that need patching, uneven floors, or out-of-square corners can also require extra labor before cabinets can be fitted correctly.
Installation labor commonly ranges from $50-$100 per hour, although many contractors quote the full job rather than an hourly rate. A straightforward kitchen may take a small crew several days; a complex layout, extensive trim, or corrective work can extend the schedule.
Confirm whether the quote includes removal, haul-away, trim, fillers, and final adjustments. These details can explain why two cabinet installation bids differ even when their cabinet orders look similar.
When do regional labor rates change Wellborn pricing?
Cabinet product pricing can vary by dealer, while installation rates are strongly affected by local labor markets. As a planning comparison, major metropolitan areas may run 10%-25% above national midrange labor estimates; rural areas may be 5%-15% lower, but longer delivery routes can offset some savings. These are broad budgeting differences, not fixed regional price rules.
Dealer discounts, freight arrangements, and contractor availability also vary. A quote from a local authorized dealer may include measuring, design revisions, or project coordination that a cabinet-only quote does not. Compare the scope and service included before treating the lowest total as the best price.
Use local written quotes for the final budget, not a national per-foot figure alone. Ask each dealer to specify delivery, installation, and any design or measurement fees.
Three Wellborn cabinet quotes for different kitchen scopes
| Example | Cabinet scope | Labor and extras | Estimated total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small refresh | About 20 linear ft, standard sizes, basic finish: $8,000-$11,000 | 25-35 hours; minor delivery: $1,800-$3,500 | $9,800-$14,500 |
| Midrange remodel | About 30 linear ft, island storage, upgraded finish: $14,000-$20,000 | 40-55 hours; removal and delivery: $3,000-$6,000 | $17,000-$26,000 |
| Large, detailed kitchen | About 40 linear ft, tall pantry units, premium details: $22,000-$35,000 | 60-85 hours; removal and handling: $5,000-$10,000 | $27,000-$45,000 |
Examples are planning scenarios, not Wellborn dealer bids. Totals exclude countertops, appliances, flooring, and major utility changes.
How can a Wellborn order stay within budget?
Keep the cabinet layout stable while comparing quotes; late changes to widths, finishes, or accessories can require repricing. Use standard cabinet dimensions where they work, and reserve custom sizes for areas where they solve a real fit problem. Reducing specialty pull-outs or decorative trim can also lower the order without changing the whole kitchen.
Request itemized pricing for the cabinet line, finish, accessories, delivery, and installation. Compare at least two local estimates using the same plan and specifications. If cabinet boxes are sound, refacing or replacing doors may be less expensive than a full order, but it will not fix damaged boxes or an unsuitable layout.
Control the scope before choosing upgrades. A clear, matching specification helps reveal whether a price difference comes from the Wellborn cabinet selection, installer labor, or excluded project work.
