One question many people have about our discount ready-to-assemble kitchen cabinets is how much it costs to assemble them. It should be noted that we ship all of our RTA cabinets unassembled.
As a result, with the money you save over regular retail prices, the costs to hire a contractor could still be less than what you would have paid to purchase your cabinets preassembled from a local retail store. Additionally, we can recommend one in your area if you need help finding and selecting a contractor.
The Cost to Put Together RTA Kitchen Cabinets
To answer the question above, it comes down to the contractor’s rates for assembling and installing the cabinets.
Obtaining a quote from a contractor gives you a figure to work with for having your discount ready-to-assemble kitchen cabinets put together and installed. Each contractor could provide you with a quote using different methods for estimating their fees.
One might write up the quote and bill you hourly when they are unsure of the number of hours needed to complete your project. On the other hand, another might write up their quote at a flat rate, regardless of the number of hours necessary to complete the project.
In cases where you have quotes using both methods, an experienced contractor should be able to assemble a cabinet in about 20 minutes, on average. You can use this figure to calculate whether you can save money by hiring a flat-rate contractor or one who will bill you by the hour.
