Kitchen cabinets in Las Vegas cost about $2,500 to $30,000 or more for a typical 25 linear foot kitchen. Per linear foot, installed, stock cabinets run $100 to $300. Semi custom cabinets run $200 to $650. Custom cabinets run $500 to $1,200 or more.
Cabinets are the biggest line in most kitchen budgets. They usually make up 35 to 45 percent of a remodel. This guide shows what each type costs, what drives the price, and how to choose for a Las Vegas home.
Kitchen Cabinet Cost Per Linear Foot in Las Vegas
Cabinet pricing starts with linear feet. Measure the wall cabinets and base cabinets along your walls, then add the island. Most Las Vegas kitchens have 20 to 30 linear feet. The table shows installed prices.
| Cabinet type | Installed price per linear foot | Typical 25 foot kitchen | Typical lead time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stock | $100 to $300 | $2,500 to $7,500 | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Semi custom | $200 to $650 | $5,000 to $16,250 | 6 to 12 weeks |
| Custom | $500 to $1,200 or more | $12,500 to $30,000 or more | 10 to 16 weeks |
| Refacing | $115 to $275 | $2,875 to $6,875 | 2 to 4 weeks |
These ranges blend 2026 national cost guides with Las Vegas pricing. Your quote will depend on your layout and selections. Lead times vary by maker.
How Much Do Cabinets Cost for a Whole Kitchen?
Kitchen size changes the total more than anything else. Here are semi custom totals, the most common choice, for three sizes.
| Kitchen size | Linear feet | Semi custom total |
|---|---|---|
| Small galley or condo kitchen | 12 | $2,400 to $7,800 |
| Average kitchen | 25 | $5,000 to $16,250 |
| Large kitchen with island | 40 | $8,000 to $26,000 |
Choose stock cabinets and you may pay less. Choose custom and expect to pay roughly 50 to 100 percent more than semi custom.
What Drives Kitchen Cabinet Cost
Cabinet type
Stock, semi custom, and custom is the biggest price factor. Stock comes in set sizes. Semi custom lets you change sizes and finishes. Custom is built to your room.
Box material
Plywood boxes cost more than particleboard or MDF. They hold screws and handle moisture better. We suggest plywood boxes for Las Vegas kitchens.
Door style and finish
Flat slab doors cost less than shaker doors. Inset doors cost the most. Paint and lacquer cost more than stain.
Hardware and extras
Soft close hinges, pull out shelves, spice racks, and glass doors each add a few hundred dollars. Twenty small upgrades add thousands.
Layout and installation
Islands, crown molding, tall pantry cabinets, and uneven walls add labor. Older homes often have walls that are not square.
Cabinet Styles Las Vegas Homeowners Choose
Shaker doors are the most popular choice. They fit modern, traditional, and desert contemporary kitchens. Flat slab doors suit clean, modern spaces. Painted white and light wood tones keep a kitchen bright in strong desert light. Two tone kitchens, with a darker island, are also common.
Las Vegas Factors for Kitchen Cabinets
Dry air. Las Vegas air is very dry. Solid wood doors can shrink and crack at the joints. Plywood boxes and stable door panels help.
Sun and heat. Kitchens with large west facing windows get strong sun. Paint and stain can fade, and glossy finishes show glare. Ask about UV resistant finishes.
Older homes. Many valley homes built from 1990 to 2010 have builder grade cabinets. Check the boxes. If they are solid and the layout works, refacing can save money.
Refacing, Painting, or Replacing Cabinets?
Refacing keeps your boxes and replaces the doors and drawer fronts. It costs about $115 to $275 per linear foot. It works well when the layout is good and the boxes are sound. Replace your cabinets when you want a new layout, the boxes are damaged, or you need more storage.
Replacing cabinets alone does not need a permit in Las Vegas. Moving plumbing, gas, or electrical does. Read our guide: do I need a permit in Las Vegas.
How Cabinets Fit Into Your Total Kitchen Budget
Cabinets are 35 to 45 percent of most kitchen remodel budgets. On a $45,000 kitchen, that means about $15,750 to $20,250 for cabinets. See our kitchen remodel cost in Las Vegas guide for the full breakdown. You can also test your own numbers with our home construction cost calculator.
Above $85,000, kitchens often use fully custom cabinetry. See our luxury kitchen remodel page for that level.
Seven Ways to Lower Cabinet Cost
- Keep your current layout so plumbing and gas stay put.
- Choose semi custom instead of full custom.
- Use custom only where it matters most, like the island.
- Pick slab or shaker doors instead of inset doors.
- Limit glass doors and specialty inserts.
- Order all cabinets at the same time.
- Lock in every selection before you order.
Questions to Ask Before You Order
- Are the boxes plywood or particleboard?
- Is installation included in the price?
- How long is the lead time, and what happens if it slips?
- What is the warranty on doors, drawers, and finish?
- Who handles measuring and fixes any fit problems?
What a Cabinet Quote Should Include
Two quotes can look far apart and still cover different things. Ask each contractor to list the same items so you can compare them fairly.
- Cabinets, with the brand, line, door style, and finish named
- Installation labor, including leveling and fitting
- Hardware, such as pulls, knobs, and hinges
- Filler panels, toe kicks, crown molding, and trim
- Removal and disposal of your old cabinets
- Repairs to walls, floors, and paint where cabinets were removed
Example Budget: A 25 Foot Kitchen
Here is how an average kitchen with semi custom cabinets can add up. Cabinets run $5,000 to $16,250 installed. Crown molding and trim add about $2 to $3 per linear foot for the molding itself. Hardware, demolition, and wall and floor repairs come on top.
Set aside a reserve of about 10 percent for surprises. Older homes may need more, because problems often hide behind old cabinets. Our home construction cost calculator adds this reserve for you.
