How Much Do Kitchen Cabinets Cost in Palm Beach County? (2026 Guide)

If you're planning a kitchen remodel in West Palm Beach or anywhere in Palm Beach County, cabinets will likely be the biggest single line item in your budget. Here's a straightforward look at what kitchen cabinets cost in 2026, what drives the price, and how to get a number you can actually plan around.

The quick answer

Cabinets are usually priced by the linear foot — the total length of cabinetry along your walls and island. Based on 2026 national cost guides, typical installed prices look like this:

  • Stock cabinets: about $250–$450 per linear foot
  • Semi-custom cabinets: about $450–$800 per linear foot
  • Custom cabinets: about $800–$1,500+ per linear foot

A standard kitchen with approximately 20–25 linear feet of cabinetry could cost around $9,000–$20,000 for semi-custom cabinets with standard installation. Larger kitchens with islands, tall pantry units, and premium finishes can cost considerably more. Countertops, demolition, plumbing, electrical work, and other remodeling services are priced separately.

These are national averages. Your actual price depends on your space, the cabinet line you choose and your installation needs — the best way to know is to get a quote based on your measurements.

What affects the price

1. Cabinet grade

Stock cabinets come in set sizes and finishes and are the most budget-friendly. Semi-custom lines let you adjust sizes, finishes and storage options. Custom cabinetry is built to your exact space and specifications.

2. Box material

Cabinet boxes are typically made from plywood, MDF or particleboard. In South Florida's humid climate, moisture resistance matters — especially around sinks and dishwashers — so it's worth asking what the boxes are made of, not just the doors.

3. Door style and finish

Simple flat-panel and Shaker doors are generally the most cost-effective. Detailed traditional doors, specialty wood species like walnut, and premium paints or high-gloss finishes add cost.

4. Kitchen size and layout

More linear feet means more cabinets. Islands, corner solutions, tall pantry cabinets and cabinets that run to the ceiling all add to the total.

5. Storage upgrades

Pull-out organizers, soft-close drawers, built-in trash pull-outs, spice racks and lighting make a kitchen much more functional — and each adds to the price.

6. Installation

Labor varies with the complexity of the job: removing old cabinets, adjusting plumbing or electrical, uneven walls, and crown molding all affect installation cost.

Smart ways to save

  • Keep your existing layout. Moving sinks, gas lines or walls is where budgets grow fastest.
  • Use standard cabinet sizes wherever possible and save custom pieces for where they matter most.
  • Mix in open shelving in place of some upper cabinets.
  • Spend on what you touch every day — drawers, hardware, and organizers — and keep finishes simpler elsewhere.
  • Compare quotes. At World Kitchen Designs, if you bring in a competitor's quote, we'll match it or beat it.

How to get an accurate quote

The fastest way to a real number is to bring a few basics to a design consultation:

  • Rough wall measurements (or a simple sketch of your kitchen)
  • Photos of your current kitchen
  • A few inspiration photos of styles you like
  • Your budget range and timeline

Our designers will help you compare cabinet lines, door styles and finishes side by side so you can see exactly where your money goes.
