Cabinet makers and carpenters typically pay tax on materials (lumber, plywood, hardware, finish) while fabrication and installation labor may be tax-exempt. Custom millwork may have different tax treatment than stock cabinets. Hardware and specialty items like drawer slides and hinges are usually taxable. EstimatePro's per-item taxable checkbox handles mixed-tax estimates cleanly. Cabinet installs often lead to flooring work — see our <a href="/flooring-contractor/">free flooring contractor estimates</a> for hardwood, vinyl, and carpet quotes. Set your rate and the totals update instantly.
Custom cabinets run $150-$400/linear foot installed, trim work at $3-$8/linear foot, with millwork varying by wood species and finish.
