Contractor Cabinet Supply in the DMV — What Pros Actually Pay

Contractor cabinet pricing in the DMV — what pros pay per linear foot for stock, semi-custom, and frameless lines, plus lead times, warranties, and delivery.

If you're a remodeler, GC, or design-build shop working the DMV, here's what pros are actually paying for cabinets in 2026 — and how to buy without the retail markup.

Pro pricing benchmarks (per linear foot, cabinet only)

Line Contractor Price Retail Equivalent
Stock / RTA (paint-grade shaker) $70 – $110 $140 – $200
Semi-custom shaker / slim shaker $170 – $260 $290 – $420
Frameless European $220 – $360 $380 – $560
Full custom (paint + inset) $400 – $800 $650 – $1,200

What contractors get that homeowners don't

  • Direct-to-pro pricing — no design-center markup.
  • Priority lead times — often 2–3 weeks vs. 6–8 retail.
  • Job-site delivery across NOVA, DC, and Montgomery/PG counties.
  • Replacement doors and panels shipped fast when a job goes sideways.

Lead times in 2026

  • Stock / RTA: 5–10 business days
  • Semi-custom: 2–4 weeks
  • Frameless European: 4–6 weeks
  • Full custom: 8–12 weeks

Plan your job start dates around the cabinet ship date — not the demo date. Cabinets late = job late.

Warranty basics

Look for lifetime limited on box construction and 5-year minimum on painted finishes.
