What Do Cabinets & Countertops Cost and How Long Do They Take in Las Vegas?
Cabinets & countertops in Las Vegas typically run $4,000-$13,000 for cabinet installation and $2,000-$6,500 for countertop installation, with most projects completed in 5-10 business days depending on material lead times and whether plumbing or electrical needs relocation. We stock popular KraftMaid door styles and Cambria quartz patterns that move fast, and our crew handles everything from demo to final caulk.

How We Handle Cabinets & Countertops From Tear-Out to Final Walk
We’ve refined this process across hundreds of Las Vegas kitchens. Here’s exactly what happens, and what you’ll need to decide at each stage.
Day 1: Protect and Demo
We arrive with floor protection, dust containment, and a debris plan. Old cabinets come out, countertops lift off, and we expose the walls and substructure. This is when we confirm your wall condition - whether there’s hidden water damage behind the sink cabinet, if studs are where the drawings say, and whether that soffit is structural or decorative. You’ll decide: keep the existing footprint, or use this moment to open the wall for a peninsula or pass-through?
Day 2-3: Rough Prep and Measurements
Plumbing gets capped or relocated, electrical boxes move for under-cabinet lighting or relocated appliances, and walls get patched to flat. Our countertop fabricator lasers the space for final dimensions. You’ll decide: exact overhang depth, edge profile (eased, beveled, ogee, or waterfall), and whether you want a quartz backsplash run up the wall or a separate tile installation.
Week 2: Cabinet Install
Stock and semi-custom KraftMaid orders typically arrive in 7-14 days; fully custom builds stretch to 4-6 weeks. We level, shim, and secure each box, install drawer glides and door hinges, and align everything to 1/32″. You’ll decide: hardware placement, soft-close on all drawers or just uppers, and whether to add pull-out trash or spice organizers before we close the boxes.
Week 2-3: Countertop Fabrication and Install
Cambria quartz gets cut offsite, edges finished, and sink cutouts CNC-routed. We template after cabinets are set, so the fit is exact. Install day takes 3-4 hours for a typical L-shaped kitchen. You’ll decide: seam placement (we minimize them, but some layouts require one), and whether to add a window sill or cooktop surround in matching material.
Day 4-5: Finish Plumbing, Electrical, and Punch
Faucet connects, disposal gets wired, range and dishwasher slide in, and we test everything under pressure. We walk the job with you, adjust any door alignment, and leave you with care instructions and our 730-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Most Las Vegas jobs in Summerlin and the northwest corridor finish here in a single week if materials are in stock.
The Cabinet and Countertop Choices That Actually Change Your Kitchen
These decisions drive cost, durability, and daily use more than any other. Here’s where your money goes.
- Stock cabinets vs. semi-custom vs. custom: Stock boxes from KraftMaid’s standard line run $120-$280 per linear foot installed, with 3-5 door styles and a fixed palette of painted or stained finishes. Semi-custom adds 30-50% but lets you adjust depth, add glass inserts, or match a specific Sherwin-Williams color. Fully custom shop-built cabinets start around $500 per linear foot and suit older Las Vegas homes in Paradise or Winchester where walls aren’t square and nothing is standard.
- Particleboard vs. plywood box construction: Particleboard with thermofoil or laminate faces holds up fine in climate-controlled kitchens but swells if your sink leaks. Plywood boxes with solid wood face frames cost 15-25% more but survive the humidity spikes when monsoon season drives moisture through stucco and into wall cavities - something we see in east valley tracts with known drainage issues.
- Quartz vs. granite vs. laminate countertops: Cambria quartz runs $75-$150 per square foot installed, non-porous, and needs no sealing - ideal for the hard water and mineral deposits that plague Las Vegas homes on well water or older municipal lines. Granite runs $60-$120, needs annual sealing, and offers variation slab-to-slab that some homeowners love and others regret. Laminate at $25-$50 per square foot works for rentals or quick flips in Whitney, but it burns, scratches, and delaminates at seams.
- Undermount vs. drop-in sink: Undermount with quartz or solid surface gives you a clean wipe into the basin but requires precise fabrication and adds $200-$400. Drop-in suits laminate and tight budgets.
- Standard overlay vs. full overlay vs. inset doors: Standard overlay leaves 1/2″ of face frame visible, traditional and forgiving. Full overlay covers the frame entirely for a sleeker European look. Inset doors sit flush inside the frame, beautiful and expensive, requiring precise humidity control that Las Vegas’s dry climate actually helps with.
What Cabinets & Countertops Cost in Las Vegas, NV
For a typical Las Vegas kitchen, expect $6,000-$19,500 combined for cabinets and countertops, with most homeowners landing in the $10,000-$14,000 range after material selection and any necessary plumbing or electrical adjustments.
| Component | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Cabinet Installation | $4,000-$13,000 |
| Countertop Installation | $2,000-$6,500 |
| Combined Cabinets & Countertops | $6,000-$19,500 |
Five factors push you toward the high or low end:
Kitchen size and layout complexity. A straight 8-foot galley in a Spring Valley condo runs lean. A 16-foot U-shape with corner lazy Susans, a peninsula, and a desk area multiplies cabinet count and countertop square footage fast.
Existing condition and surprises. The 2001-2006 production-home frenzy in Las Vegas left a legacy of sloppy original work: out-of-level floors, walls that aren’t square, and plumbing roughed in for builder-grade layouts that don’t match your new design. We find these in older Henderson tracts and northwest corridor subdivisions regularly. Fixing them is necessary but adds labor.
Moving plumbing, electrical, or structure. Keeping your sink, range, and dishwasher where they are saves $800-$2,500. Relocating any of them means opening walls, running new supply and waste lines, and often pulling permits.
Material grade and brand tier. KraftMaid’s standard painted line with laminate counters keeps costs down. Their Canvas painted finish with Cambria quartz in a premium edge profile moves you toward the top. We’re upfront about where each choice lands you.
Permit scope. Cosmetic cabinet and countertop replacement with no plumbing or electrical changes typically doesn’t trigger a permit in Clark County. Add a gas line for a cooktop relocation or move a sink drain, and permitting adds $200-$500 plus inspection scheduling. We handle the paperwork and coordinate inspections so you’re not chasing the city.
Our written estimates include demolition, disposal, cabinets, countertops, hardware, installation, and our 730-Day Done Right Promise. What they don’t include: appliance costs, flooring repair beyond the cabinet footprint, or structural modifications discovered after demo. Upfront pricing, no surprises - the number you see is the number you pay.
What Las Vegas Homes Specifically Do to This Job
Las Vegas’s housing stock shapes every cabinets & countertops project we take on. The valley is overwhelmingly post-1990 concrete-slab construction with painted stucco exteriors, and almost no basements exist. Homes are densely clustered in HOA-governed master-planned communities with strict exterior standards that govern any renovation or addition.
That HOA reality hits cabinets & countertops harder than most homeowners expect. In Summerlin, Anthem, and many Henderson communities, your Architectural Review Board (ARB) may not care about interior kitchens - but if your project is part of a full Kitchen Remodeling in Las Vegas that touches windows, exterior doors, or adds square footage, ARB approval becomes mandatory. We’ve seen homeowners in the northwest corridor get fined for premature demo that violated community timing rules. Our crew knows which communities require pre-approval, which accept post-completion documentation, and how to schedule work so you don’t violate quiet-hour ordinances or construction windows.
The climate matters too. Summer temperatures exceeding 115°F combined with relentless UV radiation degrade exterior caulking and elastomeric coatings at roughly twice the rate of most U.S. climates. If your kitchen opens to a patio through a window wall or sliding door, that thermal cycling transfers stress to interior finishes. We spec cabinet materials and countertop adhesives rated for the temperature swings, and we time deliveries to avoid leaving materials in unconditioned garages during July heat waves.
Then there’s the water. Las Vegas’s hard municipal supply leaves mineral deposits on every surface. Non-porous quartz counters clean up where granite and marble etch and stain. We steer homeowners toward materials that survive the local conditions, not just the catalog photos.
Our Las Vegas service area covers Winchester, Paradise, Spring Valley, and Whitney, and our Kitchen Remodeling crew coordinates with our window, door, and exterior teams when your project crosses into ARB territory. Homeowners often pair kitchen work with Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling in Las Vegas or a Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Las Vegas to consolidate disruption and financing.
