How it works

Three steps. No salesperson required.

We turned thousands of real Canadian invoices into a simple tool. Answer three questions and see your number — the same way a seasoned estimator would price it.

01

Choose your kitchen size

Galley, standard, or open-concept. We translate your layout into linear feet of cabinetry — the way the trade actually quotes.

02

Select your cabinet type

From ready-to-assemble to bespoke millwork. Each tier carries its own real materials, hardware, and labour costs.

03

Get your city-adjusted estimate

Labour and retail pricing swing by region. We adjust your range to Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and beyond — instantly.

Your estimate

$—

Estimates are planning ranges built from aggregated 2026 Canadian cabinet and installation data, including materials, hardware, delivery and professional installation. Final pricing depends on door style, finish, accessories and site conditions. Use this to budget and pre-qualify — not as a formal quote.

What Canadians actually pay

Real ranges, not showroom guesses.

Average installed cost for a standard kitchen — roughly 22 linear feet of cabinetry. The gap between flat-pack and full custom is wider than most people expect.

Installed cost for a medium (≈22 lf) kitchen at national-average pricing, including materials, hardware and professional installation. Figures rounded to the nearest $100.

Cabinet types, explained

Four ways to build a kitchen.

The right tier depends on your budget, your timeline, and how long you'll live with it. Here's the honest trade-off for each.

RTA

$90–$220per linear ft

Ready-to-assemble, shipped flat-packed to your door. Modern plywood boxes and soft-close hardware now rival mid-tier cabinets — if you're comfortable building them yourself.

Stock

$160–$380per linear ft

Pre-built in standard sizes from big-box retailers. Quick to get and easy to budget, with a limited palette of doors and finishes. Great for rentals and quick refreshes.

We walked into the showroom already knowing our number. For the first time in this whole renovation, we felt like the expert in the room — not the easiest sale.
