Cabinet Installation

New cabinet installation across Tampa Bay

When boxes are too far gone to reface, or you're changing the layout entirely, full installation is the right call. We connect you with insured local pros who remove the old boxes, haul them off, and set new cabinets, leveled to the actual floor and scribed to the actual wall, since very few kitchens in older Tampa Bay homes have perfectly plumb walls or level floors. Installation is the noisiest, dustiest part of any cabinet project, so if you're in a condo or an HOA-managed community, your matched crew coordinates work-hour windows with the building or association before day one, not after the drilling starts.

What do homeowners ask about Cabinet Installation?

How much does new cabinet installation cost in Tampa Bay?

Full installation runs $8,000 to $25,000 depending on kitchen size, whether the old boxes need removal and haul-off, and how much leveling and scribing the space requires. Older homes with out-of-square walls typically take more labor to install cleanly than a newer, squarer build. This price covers labor and installation, not the cabinets themselves, which are usually quoted separately based on your material and door style choice.

Does installation include removing my old cabinets?

Yes, when it's part of the scope. Removal and haul-off of the existing boxes is typically quoted as part of a full installation job, since very few projects install new cabinets over old ones. Tell your matched pro up front if you want to keep any of the old cabinets, for a garage or shed, so they're removed carefully instead of demolished.

How long does full cabinet installation take?

Most kitchens take 1 to 2 weeks from demo of the old boxes through final installation of the new ones. That timeline can shift depending on whether cabinets are on hand and ready to install versus still on order, and whether the job is coordinated with new flooring or countertops that need to go in around the same time.

I live in a condo. Do I need to worry about work-hour rules?

Yes, and it's worth checking before you schedule anything. Most condo and HOA-managed buildings along the Gulf Beaches and St. Pete waterfront have set work-hour windows and require advance notice for anything as loud as cabinet demo and installation. Your matched crew works within those windows, but the coordination with your building or association needs to happen before install day, not the morning of.

Will new cabinets sit level on an older home's uneven floor?

They should, if installed correctly. Very few floors in Tampa Bay's older housing stock are perfectly level, especially in homes with pier-and-beam foundations that have settled over decades. Your matched pro shims and scribes each cabinet run individually to the actual floor and wall conditions rather than assuming a flat, square room, which is what keeps doors and drawers operating smoothly after installation.
