Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to replace kitchen cabinets and countertops together?

Replacing cabinets and countertops together in an average kitchen costs $8,000–$35,000. Stock cabinets with laminate countertops run $8,000–$15,000. Semi-custom cabinets with quartz countertops cost $15,000–$30,000. Custom cabinets with marble run $30,000–$60,000+.

Should I replace cabinets and countertops at the same time?

Yes — doing both at once saves 5–10% in labor because contractors can coordinate, countertops are measured once cabinets are set, and you have only one period of kitchen disruption. Spreading the work over two separate projects means paying for setup, demolition, and cleanup twice.

Which countertop material has the best value?

Quartz offers the best value for most homeowners at $50–$120 per sq ft installed. It's non-porous (no sealing needed), very durable, and has consistent appearance. Granite is slightly cheaper at $40–$100 but requires annual sealing. Laminate is most affordable at $15–$40 but less durable.

How much does countertop fabrication cost?

Stone countertop fabrication (cutting, edging, polishing) costs $10–$35 per sq ft on top of material cost. Granite and quartz fabrication runs $10–$25 per sq ft. Marble fabrication is $15–$35 per sq ft due to its sensitivity to chipping. Laminate has no separate fabrication charge.
