Navigating the Cost of Custom Cabinets in Omaha: What You Need to Know

Jordan Concannon

Hey there, Omaha homeowners!


Are you considering upgrading your kitchen or bathroom with custom cabinets but feeling unsure about the costs involved? You're not alone.


Investing in custom cabinets is a significant decision, and understanding the factors that influence their cost can help you make informed choices for your home.


In this guide, we'll break down the cost of custom cabinets in Omaha, from the factors that impact pricing to tips for maximizing your budget without compromising on quality.


While we can't give you exact costs of what a custom cabinet remodel or new buildout would be for you from other companies, we can give you estimates of what it would look like to work with us for your custom cabinets.



Factors Affecting Cost:

  1. Material Selection: The type of material you choose for your custom cabinets plays a significant role in determining their cost. From budget-friendly options like laminate and MDF to high-end choices such as solid wood and exotic veneers, the material you select will impact both the aesthetics and the price tag of your cabinets.

    1. At Liberty Craft, we understand that every project is unique, and we're committed to working with you to find solutions that fit your budget. During our initial consultation, we'll discuss your budgetary constraints and explore options that align with your financial goals while still delivering exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Our goal is to provide you with custom cabinets that not only meet your aesthetic and functional needs but also respect your budgetary considerations. We'll work closely with you to ensure that your vision is realized within the parameters of your budget, without compromising on quality or style.

  2. Design Complexity: The complexity of your cabinet design can also affect its cost. Intricate details, custom features, and unique configurations may require more time and labor to execute, resulting in higher pricing. However, working with experienced designers and craftsmen can help streamline the process and ensure that your design vision is realized within your budget.

    1. Our in depth initial consultation and design process can help clarify all these minute details and we give you a 3D digital model of your future kitchen or bathroom or office, so you can see what it would look like even before it's built. This way you get to make changes ahead of time instead of regretting something later.

    2. A simple shaker-style cabinet door may go for $100 - $200, while a more complex bell-shaped kitchen oven range hood could be $1200 or more.

  3. Size and Scope of the Project: The size and scope of your cabinet project will naturally influence its overall cost. Larger spaces requiring more cabinets or custom solutions will come with a higher price tag than smaller, more straightforward projects. Additionally, factors such as the number of cabinets, drawer configurations, and specialized storage options will impact the final cost.

    1. We can do any size project for you - from a handful of new cabinet doors, to a small bathroom washbasin cabinet or an oven range hood, to an entire kitchen buildout.

    2. A few cabinet doors or drawers may cost you from $250 - $1000 depending on how many items you need and the materials they're made of.



Tips for Maximizing Your Budget:

  1. Set a Realistic Budget: Before embarking on your custom cabinet project, it's essential to establish a realistic budget based on your financial resources and priorities. Consider factors such as the size of your space, the materials you prefer, and any additional features or upgrades you desire. Having a clear budget in mind will help guide your decisions and prevent overspending.

  2. Prioritize Quality: While it can be tempting to cut costs by opting for lower-quality materials or shortcuts in craftsmanship, investing in quality is key to ensuring the longevity and durability of your cabinets. Choose reputable suppliers and craftsmen who use high-quality materials and construction techniques to create cabinets that will stand the test of time.

    1. While MDF is inexpensive and a lot of kitchens use this material for their fronts, we suggest a more durable material to ensure your kitchen is safe to use and still functional after many years.

  3. Explore Customization Options: Custom cabinets offer unparalleled flexibility in design and functionality, allowing you to create cabinets that are tailored to your specific needs and preferences. However, custom doesn't have to mean expensive. Work with your designer to explore cost-effective customization options that provide maximum value without breaking the bank.

    1. Often custom cabinets could end up being cheaper than the box-store generic cabinets or stock cabinets. With stock cabinets, you may have to do more leg work to fit them in your unique space and within the dimensions of the area, costing you more time, labor, supplies and material, and money in the long run. Custom cabinets fit perfectly in your space, meaning saved materials and labor.


So, what's the cost look like for you to get custom cabinets for your home project?


Like we saw earlier, simple doors could be a few $100s, while larger units like an oven range hood would be $1200 or more. Cabinet boxes and doors, drawers and shelving would start anywhere from $700 - $1000 and go upwards to $5000 or more


While this may sound like a lot, I remember back in 2019 when I reached out to 3 kitchen remodel companies in town for an open kitchen layout remodel. I had no cabinets in my design but simply countertops and open shelving below and above. And even that project was a minimum of $9000 from one company.


So considering that at Liberty Craft, there is no middle man and we're a small, locally owned business with a much less overhead and workforce labor than the massive mass-producing cabinet companies, we know we offer you a very competitive and affordable price for your custom cabinets.


As for the cost of custom cabinets in Omaha, it varies depending on a variety of factors, including material selection, design complexity, and the size and scope of the project. It's best to reach out to specific cabinet companies and ask for comparison pricing of their previous projects in order to get an idea of what a custom buildout would be for you.


By understanding these factors and following our tips for maximizing your budget, you can create beautiful, functional cabinets that enhance your home without breaking the bank.
