Custom Cabinets Lynn prices two clocks on your Revere refit. Your unit on the Boulevard carries a tenant date and a salt problem at once.
Three miles of open beachfront puts salt in the air at Beachmont, Point of Pines and along the Boulevard. None of it stops at your front door.
So we specify the rust-resistant hardware finish on the ocean side even on a turnaround, since the cheapest plated set starts binding inside four years. A unit you turn over twice in that time pays the same hardware bill twice.
The rest of your job stays fast, because the unit has to be on the market by the first. Refacing and a front swap both finish in days rather than months, and neither one touches your plumbing. Salt does not care whether a kitchen is rented or owned, and the hinge cup is where it starts either way. We put the finish on your estimate as a named line.
The marsh at the back of the city runs up to the Saugus River, and it is estuarine rather than open ocean. Behind it we will tell you the finish is not needed. So we ask how far from the water you are before spending your money on hardware, since West Revere is not Point of Pines.
We stage a multi-unit refit at one kitchen per vacancy, so your building is never standing empty waiting for a trade upstairs. Emptying a whole building at once to save on setup loses more rent than the setup was ever worth.
Revere at a glance
New fronts on the boxes you already have at $180 to $330 a door is the fastest thing we sell. Labor alone is $140 to $230 a door where the fronts arrive supplied, and a whole kitchen of them comes to $2,200 to $6,600.
Where your boxes are still sound we reface at $5,000 to $13,000 and put the hardware right at the same time. Doing the hinges and runners while a reface is already open costs $30 to $80 each, against paying for a separate visit later.
We spray a sound kitchen at $2,000 to $6,500 where only the finish has failed and the boxes have years left. Every figure on this page is a row on our cost guide, and every row carries the source it came from.

What cabinets cost in Revere
We took on a three-unit at Point of Pines where the same plated hinges had gone into all three kitchens four years earlier. Every one of them had seized. We refaced the two sound kitchens at $5,000 to $13,000 apiece and changed the hardware to the rust-resistant finish at $30 to $80 each. The third had a sink cabinet rotted through under the trap. We took that box out at $400 to $1,400 before anything went back on the wall.
| 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 Revere
Is corrosion-resistant hardware worth it on a rental?
On the ocean side, yes, and the arithmetic is short. Plated hardware in salt air seizes within a few years, so a unit turned over twice buys the same hinges twice. The rust-resistant finish costs you a fraction of that on the first fit. That is why we specify it as standard from Beachmont out to Point of Pines.
How fast can you turn a kitchen between tenancies?
Days on the fast product. Made-to-order fronts arrive inside two weeks, where a kitchen built to the room takes months. We tell you which of those you are in at the estimate, since on a Suffolk County vacancy the date usually decides the whole job.
Which parts of the city actually need the rust-resistant hardware?
The ocean-facing streets, and not the ones behind the marsh. Beachmont, Point of Pines and the Boulevard sit against three miles of open Massachusetts Bay frontage, so what reaches your hardware there is the real thing. The ground behind Rumney Marsh is estuarine, which is a milder exposure and a cheaper spec. We say so rather than selling one spec everywhere.
