an you or coming in to thoroughly go through the estimate and drawings I put
together for you and Ike. I have listed several options below that I think will help bring
the price down.
1) The manufacturer's price drop occurs when a wall cabinet goes from a 48" to a
42" , which would leave a finished height including cabinet crown of approx..
100" . Leaving all the doors and drawers 5/4", the prices would be as follows:
(labor and freight stay the same as the original estimate)
Kitchen Perimeter Cabinets $ 48,620
Island: stays the same since there aren't any wall cabinets
Butler's Pantry $13,035
In total, going from 48" high wall cabinets to 42" high wall cabinets would save
$1,225
2) In the butler's pantry, if you changed the wall cabinet doors from glass to solid
the price of the cabinets would go from $13,125 to $10,989 , a $2,136 savings.
This is still based off using a 5/4" thick door.
3) Take off 5% from the cost of the cabinetry (not installation) to determine what
4/4" would cost vs. 5/4"
4) Another option we discussed would be to change the lower decorative wains
panels to flat panels. There are three painted panels I believe you were
considering doing this with...the end of the dishwasher and both angled ends of
the angled island. This would save $500 for each panel.
5) One more option that I forgot to offer when you were here is using a'''4"
melamine construction cabinet box (not the doors and drawers) instead of Y."
maple plywood. The melamine would be a hard rock maple wood grain
impregnated on a commercial grade particle board.
I have samples in the showroom that I could show you if you're interested.
Based on your original estimate with 5/4" doors, 48" h wall cabinets the price
would be $79,908. You could then still reduce the pricing by using any of the
options above.

Confused? Don't hesitate to call me. Bottom line is you do have quite a few
options. I'll help you get where you need to be. I'll be in New Canaan today and
covering our Stamford showroom on Monday
Have a great weekend!
Best,
Gianna
