Custom Cabinets Lynn prices your Peabody kitchen off your address rather than off the town name. We have measured both halves of this city and they are not the same job.
A West Peabody kitchen from the fifties on comes to us close to square. One in the old tannery wards has had a century to settle.
So your quote carries one extra line where the walls have moved, at $450 to $1,600. Leave it off and the gap gets closed with a filler strip instead, which means a crooked taper by the doorway for as long as the kitchen stands.
You are inland here with no ocean frontage, so we specify your hinges and runners for a heated house rather than for salt. With indoor humidity under 20% in February, a door panel glued into its frame cracks straight down the middle.
The floor under a base run in the old wards has usually dropped half an inch across the room. Every cabinet above it has tilted with it. So we measure your opening at three heights and take the layout off the tightest one. Your doors then hang level even where your floor does not.
We cut your end panel to follow the plaster that is actually there rather than filling the gap behind a strip. That costs hours instead of material. It is what separates a run reading straight from the doorway from one that never does. We also push a blade into your sink cabinet before quoting either way, because a bottom that swelled under a slow leak never dries back.
Peabody at a glance
Most of what we do for you in Peabody is the fast half of this trade. Refacing keeps your layout at $5,000 to $13,000, against $10,000 to $26,500 for a kitchen drawn to your opening.
We fit Blum hinges and runners rated to 75 lb a drawer, and we size the one nearest your range by what goes in it. A pan drawer chosen by width is the runner that binds first, and it starts inside two years.
Semi-custom at $150 to $700 a foot is where most West Peabody kitchens land, because a room that came in square does not need a box drawn to it. In the old wards we buy the storage back with corner pull-outs instead, and every figure above sits on our cost guide with its source.

What cabinets cost in Peabody
We were called to a kitchen in the Proctor neighborhood with a back wall running nearly an inch out over 12 feet. The sink cabinet had already failed under the trap. We measured the opening at three heights and took the layout off the tightest one. Then we cut the end panels to follow the plaster, at $450 to $1,600 on top of the run. We fitted the cabinets in semi-custom at $150 to $700 a linear foot.
| What the job is | Typical range | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Fully custom cabinetry, built to the openingDrawn to your kitchen rather than assembled from catalog sizes. Any width, any height, any depth, and no filler strips standing in for a wall that is not straight. | $500 – $1,200 | per linear foot, installed |
| High-end custom: inset doors, specialty species, hand-applied finishInset doors sit inside the frame rather than over it, which means every reveal has to be even and every one is visible. That is where the hours go. | $1,200 – $2,500 | per linear foot, installed |
| Semi-custom cabinetryCatalog boxes with real choices on door style, finish and some sizes. The middle of the market and the honest answer for most Lynn kitchens. | $150 – $700 | per linear foot, installed |
| Stock cabinetryFixed sizes off a shelf, usually in three-inch increments. Cheapest per foot, and the version most likely to need filler strips against a pre-1940 wall. | $100 – $400 | per linear foot, installed |
| Fully custom 10x10 kitchenThe standard comparison kitchen the industry prices against, roughly 20 linear feet of cabinetry. Use it to sanity-check a quote, not to price your own room. | $10,000 – $26,500 | installed |
| Stock or semi-custom 10x10 kitchenThe same comparison kitchen in catalog boxes. The gap against the custom line above is the whole decision in one number. | $3,000 – $11,000 | installed |
| Building and installation labor alone, on custom workRuns 25% to 40% of the total on a custom job. Worth knowing, because a quote where labor is far under that is either using catalog boxes or leaving something out. | $200 – $300 | per linear foot |
| Installing cabinets you already haveHanging, leveling, scribing, joining and setting the doors on boxes bought elsewhere. The spread is mostly about how true the walls and floor are. | $4,500 – $15,000 | per kitchen |
| A published North Shore figure for the same job, Salem MAOne live, published, local number for a full cabinet installation. Carried because it is the only one in this table that came from this side of the state, and because it sits above the top of the national custom range. | $28,564 | as quoted |
| Scribing and leveling a run into a pre-1940 openingPlaster over lath, a floor that has settled, and no corner at a true 90 degrees. Scribing the end panels and stiles to the real wall instead of filling the gap. On a 1946 kitchen this is normal work, not an extra. | $450 – $1,600 | added to the job |
Want yours measured properly?
We come out, measure the opening at three heights and check how far off square your walls sit, then put a written number on it before anything is ordered.
Questions we get from Peabody
Why do cabinet quotes change so much street to street in Peabody?
$450 to $1,600. That is the wall-fitting line, and whether your quote carries it depends on which half of the city you are in. A West Peabody kitchen built in the fifties usually does not need it. One in the older wards almost always does.
Do I need a permit to replace my kitchen cabinets in Peabody?
Not for the cabinets themselves. A swap that leaves your plumbing, gas, wiring, structure and exits alone counts as an ordinary repair, so nothing gets filed. Moving your sink or adding a range circuit is the part that changes that answer.
Is my Peabody kitchen worth refacing rather than replacing?
If your boxes are sound, yes, at $5,000 to $13,000 against $10,000 to $26,500 for new cabinets. Your sink cabinet is what decides it, and a swollen one needs replacing at $400 to $1,400 whatever you do to the doors above it.
