What Custom Cabinets Really Cost in Yakima

Published July 1, 2026

Cabinet quotes can feel like a black box, with one shop naming a number twice another’s and neither explaining why. The truth is that custom cabinet pricing follows a few clear rules. Once you know them, you can read any quote and understand exactly where the money goes. Here is how it breaks down for a Yakima kitchen.

Price Starts With the Linear Foot

Cabinets are measured and priced by the linear foot of run along your walls. Semi-custom typically lands between $150 and $650 per linear foot installed, while fully custom runs roughly $500 to $1,200 per foot. A small galley off Fruitvale Boulevard has fewer feet than a big U-shaped kitchen, so measuring your actual runs is the first step toward a real number, not a guess.

Material Is the Biggest Lever

After the footage, the wood does the most to your total. A painted MDF Shaker door costs less than rift-sawn white oak, and cabinet-grade plywood boxes cost more than particleboard but last far longer under daily use. Picking where to spend and where to save is the single most useful conversation you can have. Our custom kitchen cabinets page walks through the species and door styles we build most.

Reface or Replace Changes Everything

If your boxes are solid, refacing keeps them and swaps the doors and fronts for roughly $4,000 to $10,000, about half the cost of a full rebuild. If the layout is wrong or the carcasses are failing, replacement is the smarter long-term dollar. A quick look at the boxes during the measure tells us which path fits your 98902 kitchen.

Do Not Forget the Add-Ons

Countertops, hardware upgrades, soft-close everything, and specialty inserts like pull-out trash or lazy Susans all move the total. None of these are hidden in a good quote. They should each show up as their own line so you can add or cut them without renegotiating the whole job.

Get an Itemized Quote, Not a Ballpark

A ballpark over the phone helps nobody. The only number worth planning around is a written, itemized quote taken from a real measure of your room near Yakima Avenue. That is how you compare bids fairly and avoid the surprise change orders that give this trade a bad name. When you are ready, contact us and we will measure your space and put every line in writing.
