Cost Considerations for Replacing Cabinets

The kitchen cabinets are the main focal point of the room and will be the most expensive component of your kitchen renovation. If you’re renovating to prepare a home for sale or want to invest in your forever home, consider the three cost levels of replacing kitchen cabinets in Edmonton.

Stock Cabinets

Stock cabinets in Edmonton are the least expensive option. These are the types of cabinets you can buy at big box stores like IKEA or Home Depot, as well as smaller Edmonton cabinet companies. They have been manufactured using standard measurements and styles and a pre-build in a factory. You can get solid wood stock cabinets, but the less expensive options are typically made of a laminated particle board material.

PROS: Stock cabinets are less expensive than the other options and you can take them home or have them delivered as soon as you buy them. You can also save money on installation by installing them yourself.

CONS: They are usually cheaper quality and options are limited. Homeowners with unique kitchen layouts might have difficulty finding cabinets that fit properly.

Semi-Custom Cabinets

Semi-custom cabinets in Edmonton are also premade and available for purchase, but they give homeowners more options. Options include a variety of sizes, wood type, finishes and special features. Semi-custom cabinets are a good choice if you want something a little nicer than stock cabinets, and a few added features, but don’t have the budget for custom cabinets. Check out these semi-custom cabinet ideas.

PROS: More options than stock cabinets.

CONS: Still premade and not entirely customizable. Finding the perfect cabinets to fit a unique space can still be challenging.

Custom Cabinets

When you purchase custom cabinetry in Edmonton, you hire Edmonton cabinet companies to build them for you from scratch. Using a design plan, cabinets will be designed and built to fit a unique space and to detailed specifications. Choose from a wide range of wood types, styles, hardware and special features. Because they are built for your specific space, you won’t have trouble finding cabinets that fit properly, which is an issue with stock and semi-custom cabinets.

PROS: Custom cabinets are designed to your specific tastes, space and options are limitless. Custom cabinets can also be used as built-in storage, in multipurpose rooms and other unique spaces. They are usually the highest quality.

CONS: Custom cabinets are the most expensive option and require a large budget.
