How Much Do Custom Cabinets Cost in Nashville?

If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom upgrade, or built-in shelving project, you’ve probably asked:

“How much do custom cabinets cost?”

The answer? It depends — but this guide will break down the key factors so you can plan your project with confidence.

⸻

1. Size & Scope of the Project

The biggest driver of cabinet cost is how much cabinetry you need. A small bathroom vanity will obviously cost much less than a full kitchen overhaul.

• Small projects (like a vanity or bookcase): $1,500–$4,000

• Medium projects (partial kitchen, laundry, mudroom): $5,000–$10,000

• Full custom kitchen cabinetry: $12,000–$25,000+

At Collier Woodworks, every piece is measured, built, and finished specifically for your space — no prefabs, no shortcuts.

2. Materials & Wood Species

The type of wood you choose plays a huge role in pricing.

• Maple, poplar, birch: Affordable and popular for painted finishes

• White oak, walnut, cherry: More premium, often used for natural or stained looks

We’ll help you find the right balance between beauty, durability, and budget.

3. Door Style & Details

Custom doors and trim details can elevate your cabinetry — but they also increase cost:

• Flat panel or shaker doors: Clean, affordable, timeless

• Inset doors, mitered corners, custom profiles: Higher labor and precision

Want hidden drawers, soft-close hinges, or crown molding? We can do that — and we’ll explain how each choice affects the price.

4. Finish & Paint Quality

A durable finish is essential. We use professional-grade paints and spray systems in our Nashville workshop for a flawless result.

• Painted finish: ~$600–$1,200 added per room

• Stained finish: Slightly less expensive than multi-coat paint

• Natural/oiled look: Depends on wood type

⸻

5. Installation Complexity

Cabinet installs range from simple to highly custom:

• Standard kitchen layout: Fast and cost-efficient

• Tight or irregular spaces (older homes): More time, more precision

• Add-ons like floating shelves, integrated lighting, appliance panels: Added labor

We handle all installations ourselves — no outsourced crews — so your final product fits exactly as it should.

6. Local Labor & Craftsmanship

You’re not just paying for materials — you’re investing in a custom service. At Collier Woodworks, we don’t mass-produce anything. You’ll work directly with a local cabinet maker (Kyle) from start to finish.
