Kitchen Cabinets Options for Meridian Properties
Full gut of an L-shaped kitchen
Most Treasure Valley production kitchens are an L with a fridge wall. We pull the old boxes, check the drywall, and reset uppers on a ledger. The corner gets a lazy susan or a blind-corner pull-out. The sink base is 36 inch unless you say otherwise. Dishwasher openings stay 24 inch.
Galley kitchens with 24 inch bases
Old Town Meridian and many Boise bungalows are two parallel runs. Depth is 24 inch on the bases so a 25.5 inch counter still leaves an aisle. Wall cabinets can go 12, 15, or 24 inch deep. A galley does not get an island. It gets fillers that hide pipes.
Keep the plumbing, swap the boxes
If the sink, range, and fridge stay, the job is a box-for-box replace. We match existing openings so the plumber does not move a trap. This is the cheapest path that still gives you new plywood cases. Crown and light rail can still change the look.
Peninsula add without moving the sink
Some 1990s Meridian kitchens have a peninsula that was never there from the builder. We add a run of bases off an existing wall, with seating on the room side if the overhang is 12 inch. Electrical for pendants is another trade. We leave blocking.
How We Handle Kitchen Cabinets in Meridian
- Photograph each wall and note the fridge, range, and dishwasher model.
- Measure linear feet, ceiling height, and the window stools that interrupt uppers.
- Draw the run. You pick door style, species, and whether uppers go to the ceiling.
- Order or build the boxes. Label every case for the wall it belongs on.
- Strip the old kitchen, patch obvious holes, then hang uppers first.
- Set bases, scribe the fridge panel, and leave a straight counter line.
Materials and Methods
Kitchen cases are 3/4 inch plywood with a captured back. Uppers hang on a steel rail or a wood ledger lagged into studs. Bases sit on a level line, not on the slab's dip. A 4 inch toe-kick scribes to the floor. Filler strips at 1 to 3 inches hide the last gap.
The sink base gets a rear cutout for supply and a floor cut for the trap. We do not replumb. The dishwasher opening is a 24 inch gap with a finished end. A 3 inch filler next to a range keeps the door from hitting a handle.
Doors and drawers get soft-close hardware. Pull-out trash, a tray divider, and a spice pull are kitchen-specific add-ons. Light rail hides under-cabinet LED tape. Crown returns to the ceiling on 8-foot plates, or stacks on a 9-foot plate. We cut those on site.
What Kitchen Cabinets Cost in Meridian
Fixr's 2026 guide puts kitchen cabinet installation at $4,000 to $14,000, national average $7,000. Stock runs $100 to $300 per linear foot. Semi-custom $150 to $650. Custom $500 to $1,200. HomeAdvisor lists professional install between $1,935 and $10,763, average $6,188. Angi uses the same band.
Three levers move a Meridian kitchen number. How many linear feet. Stock versus custom boxes. Whether we gut and haul the old run. A 10x10 kitchen in Fixr's table needs about 16 linear feet. A 12x15 needs about 30. We quote the tape, not the table.
Ask for that number at (208) 759-1616 .
Kitchen tickets live or die on linear feet and whether the sink stays. A box-for-box replace is faster because the plumber does not move. A full gut is cleaner because we see the drywall. Uppers go on a ledger. Bases shim to a line. The dishwasher gap stays 24 inches unless you bought a 18 inch unit and said so. Crown on an 8-foot plate is a simple cap. On a 9-foot plate we can stack. Light rail hides LED tape. We cut both on site.
A 10x10 production kitchen and a 12x15 L are different linear-foot tickets. Fixr's tables are a national band, not your bid. We still use them so you have a number to compare. Keep-the-layout jobs save plumber time. Full guts show the drywall. Soffits that will not move cap the uppers. A fridge that sits proud of 24 inches needs a panel plan. Write the model down before we cut.
Kitchen Cabinets Questions
How do I get a kitchen cabinets estimate in Meridian?
Tell us the town, the kitchen shape, and whether the sink stays. Photos of each wall help. We measure linear feet on site, then bid the boxes. That visit is free.
Can I keep my layout and still replace the boxes?
Yes. Most south Meridian kitchens keep the plumbing and the range hood. We rebuild the run in the same footprint. Moving a sink or a gas line is another trade and another bid.
Do kitchen cabinets include the countertop?
No. We leave a level, square run. The fabricator templates after the boxes are set. Tile, plumbing, and electrical are separate. Ask us to coordinate the hang day with those trades.
What does a kitchen run cost?
Fixr publishes $4,000 to $14,000 nationally for kitchen cabinet installation, with an average near $7,000. Angi and HomeAdvisor put a typical install near $6,188. Stock, semi-custom, and custom change that number. We bid your linear feet.
