Demo includes removal of existing cabinet hardware, disconnection of under-cabinet lighting, and protection of existing hardwood floor during demo and installation.

Includes installation of 1 blind corner base with Lazy Susan, 1 pull-out trash cabinet with dual 35-qt bins, and 2 deep drawer bases. Install crown molding at top of wall cabinets (approx. 38 LF), light rail molding at underside of wall cabinets (approx. 24 LF), and scribe molding at wall returns (approx. 11 LF). Install toe kick throughout base run (approx. 28 LF). Primary bath: Remove existing 60-inch double vanity and dispose. Install new 60-inch semi-custom vanity (client-selected, delivered to site by supplier). Install vanity top (supplied by countertop fabricator, separate contract). Connect to existing plumbing supply and drain — no relocation of plumbing in this scope.

Kitchen: Cabinet supply (23 cabinets per Dura Supreme quote #DS-4812, includes pantry): Base cabinets (8 units): $4,960 Wall cabinets (14 units): $5,320 Pantry (1 unit, 96-inch): $1,140 Specialty units (blind corner base, trash pull-out, 2 deep drawer bases): $2,280 Hardware upgrade (Blum soft-close on all, included per spec): included Cabinet supply subtotal: $13,700 Demolition and disposal: Remove 22 existing cabinets, haul-off: $680 Floor protection (Masonite panels, set and pull): $140 Demo subtotal: $820 Installation labor: Cabinet installation (23 cabinets, 2-person crew, est. 2 days): $2,400 Crown molding (38 LF, cut and install): $760 Light rail molding (24 LF): $360 Scribe and filler strips (11 LF): $220 Toe kick (28 LF, measure, cut, clip): $280 Installation labor subtotal: $4,020 Kitchen total: $18,540 Primary bath: Vanity supply (Dura Supreme, 60-inch double, same finish): $2,480 Demo — existing vanity removal and disposal: $280 Vanity installation labor: $480 Reconnect plumbing supply and drain (no relocation): $240 Bath total: $3,480 Project total: $22,020 Payment schedule: Deposit at contract signing (covers cabinet order): 50% — $11,010 Cabinet delivery and demo complete: 25% — $5,505 Final completion and walkthrough: 25% — $5,505
Cabinet lead time: Dura Supreme Crestwood, painted finish — approximately 5–6 weeks from order. Pre-installation: — Ridgeline will confirm countertop fabricator timing before scheduling install. Cabinet installation must precede countertop template. Countertop template typically happens day after cabinet install is complete. — Countertops must be installed before plumbing reconnection in bath. Installation schedule (contingent on cabinet delivery): Day 1 (morning): Kitchen demo, floor protection, delivery inspection Day 1 (afternoon): Begin base cabinet installation Day 2: Complete base and wall cabinets, install pantry, blind corner, specialty units Day 3: Crown molding, light rail, scribe, toe kick, punch list Day 4 (half day, after countertop template): Bath vanity demo and installation Bath plumbing reconnection: after countertop set (week 2 typically) Total install time: approximately 3.5 days across 2 weeks (kitchen week 1, bath plumbing week 2). Note: if any cabinet arrives damaged, Ridgeline will document and reorder immediately. Install will proceed around missing pieces where structurally possible rather than halting the job.
Cabinet delivery inspection: Ridgeline will inspect all boxes at delivery. Any damaged or incorrect pieces documented within 24 hours and submitted to Dura Supreme for replacement. Client will be notified of any replacements and estimated reorder timeline before installation begins. Countertop coordination: countertop template and installation is a separate contract (not Ridgeline). Ridgeline will coordinate scheduling but is not responsible for countertop lead times or installation quality. Plumbing: bath vanity reconnection is to existing supply stop valves and drain. Ridgeline does not warranty existing supply valves — if a stop valve leaks or fails during reconnection, client will be invoiced for valve replacement at cost plus $85/hour labor. Finish matching: Ridgeline will request same finish lot from Dura Supreme for vanity as kitchen order. Exact match across lots cannot be guaranteed; minor variation in painted finish is a characteristic of cabinet manufacturing. Warranty: — Ridgeline installation workmanship: 2 years on labor (cabinet plumb, level, secure; moldings; hardware function) — Dura Supreme cabinet product: 5-year limited warranty on construction, finish, and hardware per manufacturer terms (copy provided at completion) — Blum hardware: lifetime warranty per Blum terms Exclusions: countertop installation, plumbing beyond stop valve reconnection, electrical, painting, flooring.

Create Your Free AccountSpell out the cabinet line and construction grade before you quote. Stock cabinets from a big-box store run $100–$300 per linear foot installed. Semi-custom from a mid-range supplier runs $300–$650. Full custom starts at $800 and goes up. The client who chose your bid because it was cheapest and then finds out you're using frameless particleboard boxes when they expected dovetail plywood is not a happy client. Name the manufacturer, the series, and the box construction (plywood vs. MDF vs. particleboard). If you're supplying client-purchased cabinets, say so, and note that your labor warranty covers workmanship only.
Demo and haul-away is real work — price it separately. Pulling a 15-cabinet kitchen takes half a day for two people, plus a truck run to the dump. If you bury it in the install price and the client adds a pantry at the last minute, you've already lost the argument about cost. Show demo as its own line: quantity of cabinets, estimated hours, disposal fee. Then if the scope changes, the math is obvious to both of you.
Soft-close hinges and drawer slides are not a standard — say whether they're included. Clients who spec'd soft-close in a showroom and then find slam-close hinges on delivery get angry. If soft-close is included on all doors and drawers, say so. If it's an upgrade, price it: soft-close hinge pairs run $4–$10 each, slides run $15–$40 per drawer. A 15-cabinet kitchen with 30 doors and 20 drawers can add $400–$1,200 to hardware cost alone.
Crown molding, light rail, and filler strips need their own scope. Crown at the top of wall cabinets looks finished. Light rail under upper cabinets hides under-cabinet lighting and finished the bottom edge. Filler strips at walls and between refrigerator and cabinet runs close gaps that vary by an inch or more from room to room. None of these are free. Measure the actual runs during the site walk and price them by linear foot. Clients who see 'crown molding — 47 LF at $18/LF' on a proposal understand why the number is what it is.
The delivery window and cabinet damage inspection process matters more than most contractors admit. Semi-custom cabinets ship in boxes. Boxes get damaged. A door that arrives with a finish crack has to be reordered, and lead times on replacements run 3–6 weeks. Your proposal should say: you will inspect all boxes at delivery, damaged pieces will be documented and reordered immediately, and install will proceed around missing pieces where possible rather than stopping the whole job. Clients who wait 8 weeks for their kitchen to start and then another 3 weeks for a replacement door need to understand this risk before they sign.
