Pro Tips for Cabinet Installation Labor
- Corner cabinets, tall pantry units, and cabinets requiring scribing to an uneven wall typically take longer than standard base or wall cabinets — factor this into your average.
- Include time for leveling and shimming in your per-cabinet estimate, since uneven floors and walls are common in real installations.
Common Cabinet Installation Labor Mistakes to Avoid
- Using the same per-cabinet time estimate for simple base cabinets and complex corner or specialty units, which have meaningfully different real installation times.
