Cabinet Installation in Bluffton, SC
Cabinets are unforgiving. A run that is a quarter inch out of level at the wall is a door that will not close right for twenty years. Bluffton Custom Cabinets installs cabinets — ours or ones you bought — with the patience the work takes.
Install-only pricing runs per linear foot: stock cabinets $45–$110 a foot, semi-custom $70–$135, and custom $180–$270, reflecting the care each tier needs. Removing the old run adds $15–$20 a foot, including haul-off.
Lowcountry floors settle and walls bow. We find the high spot, level from it, scribe to the wall where the wall is wrong, and shim where the floor is wrong — so the countertop crew after us has a flat, true base to work on.
If you bought cabinets from a store or online, we are glad to install them. Send us the layout before delivery day if you can — a half hour of checking measurements up front saves the classic problem of a cabinet that does not fit the room it was ordered for.
Every install ends with the same walk: every door opened, every drawer pulled, every reveal checked. If a door needs a hinge tweak, it happens before we call the job done.
What a Professional Install Includes
Tear-out and haul-off of the old run when ordered, wall and floor checks, leveling and scribing, hanging and joining the new run, crown and trim, hardware fitting, and final door and drawer adjustment.
What it does not include: plumbing and electrical hookups, and countertops — those trades follow us. We coordinate timing with your countertop installer so the template visit happens right after we finish.
Bought Your Cabinets Somewhere Else?
Good — installation is its own trade and plenty of homeowners would rather spend on the cabinets and hire the install out. We install all major brands and flat-pack lines, and we will tell you at the measure visit if anything in the order looks off for the room.
If a cabinet arrives damaged, we document it with photos the same day so your claim with the seller is easy.
How much does installation cost for a typical kitchen?
A 20-foot semi-custom run at $70–$135 a foot is $1,400–$2,700, plus removal at $15–$20 a foot if we are taking the old cabinets out. Custom installs run higher because the fitting is finer.
How long does install take?
Most kitchens install in 2–4 days. Big custom runs and tall stacked cabinets take longer — the written estimate includes the schedule.
Do you install bathroom vanities too?
Yes — vanity installs are part of the same work. See our bathroom vanity cabinets page if you are replacing rather than just installing.
Can you fix a bad install by someone else?
Often. Doors out of alignment, runs out of level, and bad scribing can usually be corrected. We charge for the correction work after a visit — and we will tell you honestly if starting over is cheaper.
