Custom cabinet packages
What’s in each cabinet package?

Estimate your project
Three choices, no sign-up. The result is a planning number; the written price comes after an in-home measure.
Measure along each wall where cabinets will go, base and uppers counted together, and add the length of an island. A 10×10 kitchen is about 20 feet.

How much do the packages cost?
Essential starts at $750 per linear foot, Select at $1,050 and Signature at $1,450, installed in Boulder County (prices as of October 2026). A linear foot is one foot of wall with base and upper cabinets counted together, so a typical 20-foot kitchen starts around $15,000, $21,000 or $29,000.
Every price includes design drawings, cabinets, finishing, Blum hardware, a standard set of pulls and knobs, delivery and installation in Boulder County. It doesn’t include countertops, plumbing, electrical, demolition and appliances. The final price depends on the size of the job, the share of drawers to doors, tall cabinets, specialty storage and site conditions, and you get it in writing after the in-home measure.
What moves the price above the starting number?
- Tall pantry and oven cabinets and ceiling-height uppers: more material and hardware per foot.
- Drawers instead of doors: each drawer adds a box and a pair of slides. Drawers store more, so most kitchens want them.
- Inset doors on face-frame cabinets: a Signature option at +$300 per linear foot.
- Specialty storage: pull-outs, roll-outs, dividers and appliance garages, priced per piece.
- Site conditions and travel: out-of-level floors, bowed walls, stairs on delivery, and projects outside Boulder County.
Most projects land within about 30% above the starting price. The instant estimate shows that range for your linear feet and package.
For comparison, published Colorado guides put fully custom cabinets at roughly $500 to $1,200 per linear foot installed; see how much custom cabinets cost in Colorado. Essential and Select sit inside that range with pulls, knobs and installation included; Signature, with walnut, inset doors and integrated appliances, sits at the top of it. Send rough measurements and photos for a ballpark on your space.
Why do we keep a small set of door styles and finishes?
Because a short list keeps every room consistent, keeps lead times shorter and keeps cost under control. It also makes it easy to match any room to the kitchen.
Our standard door styles: Shaker, Slim Shaker and Slab. Our standard finishes: painted (a curated palette), natural white oak, stained white oak and walnut.
- Consistency across rooms. When the kitchen, vanity and mudroom share a door profile and finish, paint colors and stains match from room to room instead of drifting between suppliers or batches.
- Faster lead times. Familiar door styles and finishes mean less time on samples, special orders and one-off setups.
- Cost control. Fewer one-off materials to source and fewer sample rounds keep your budget in the cabinets themselves.
Shaker and slab doors cover most looks from traditional to modern. Paint color, wood, hardware and layout do the rest.
Can every room match the kitchen?
Yes. Every package can be used in any room we build, so vanities, laundry and mudroom cabinets, pantries and built-ins can carry the kitchen’s door style and finish.
A room that takes hard wear, like a mudroom, can keep the kitchen’s door style in a darker paint color that hides scuffs. More in matching cabinets for the kitchen, bathroom and mudroom.
Which package should you choose?
Choose Essential for painted cabinets in a straightforward layout, Select if you want white oak or organized storage, and Signature if your space or design needs fully custom sizes, walnut or integrated appliances.
If you’re still deciding what level of cabinet you need, read custom vs. semi-custom vs. stock cabinets. For how frameless boxes compare with traditional cabinets, see frameless vs. face-frame cabinets. Planning a kitchen? Start with kitchen cabinets.
What happens after you pick a package?
You send measurements and photos, we design the layout with you, and the package sets what goes into the build. Our process covers each step.
Plan on about 8–10 weeks from signed design to install, with installation by our own crew, or delivery to your contractor.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a cabinet package?
A defined set of construction, door styles, finishes and options sold together, so you choose a level instead of pricing every component separately. It makes quotes faster to put together and easier to compare.
How much do Spindle Woodworks packages cost?
Essential starts at $750 per linear foot, Select at $1,050 and Signature at $1,450, installed in Boulder County. A typical 20-foot kitchen starts around $15,000, $21,000 or $29,000. Prices include design drawings, cabinets, finishing, Blum hardware, a standard set of pulls and knobs, delivery and installation in Boulder County; countertops and plumbing are separate.
What affects cabinet cost besides the package?
The size of the job, the share of drawers versus doors, tall cabinets, ceiling-height uppers, specialty storage, the wood and finish, and installation conditions such as uneven floors or walls. Inset doors on face-frame cabinets are a Signature option at $300 more per linear foot. Most projects land within about 30% above the starting price.
What is the founding client offer?
$1,000 off each of our first 5 kitchen projects in Boulder County, on any package. In return we ask to photograph the finished kitchen for our portfolio; no review is required. Kitchen cabinet projects on any package, one per household, while spots remain. Confirmed in writing with your quote.
Are pulls and knobs included?
Yes. Every package includes a standard set of pulls and knobs from our selection, installed. If you want a specific designer pull, we price the difference per piece.
Is a custom cabinet package the same as semi-custom cabinets?
No. Semi-custom usually means a manufacturer's catalog boxes with a limited list of modifications. A package from a custom shop sets the materials and options, while the cabinets are still built to order for your layout.
Does a short list of door styles limit my design?
Less than you might expect. Shaker and slab doors cover most looks from traditional to modern, and paint color, wood species, hardware and layout change the result far more than the door profile.
What's the difference between frameless and face-frame cabinets?
Frameless cabinets have no face frame, so doors cover the box edges and drawers and roll-outs can use nearly the full width of the cabinet. Face-frame cabinets have a solid wood frame on the front that narrows the opening.
