Why We Show Real Kitchen Prices
Most cabinet companies won’t publish pricing.
We do.
Because homeowners in Fredericton deserve real numbers tied to real layouts — not vague “starting at” claims.
Every price shown here reflects:
- Real cabinet quantities
- Real layout dimensions
- Real construction quality
No hidden upgrades for soft-close.
No surprise material substitutions.
Just transparent pricing so you can plan properly.
Cabinet pricing is layout-driven. When dimensions change, the mix of cabinet boxes changes — and so does the total cost.
*Contractor + appreciation discounts available
All of Our Kitchens and Cabinets are:
- RTA (ready-to-assemble)
- AA-grade plywood cabinet boxes
- Fully Finished interiors
- Solid wood face frames
- Solid wood drawer boxes
- Soft-close hinges included
- Soft-close drawer slides included
We do not use particleboard cabinet boxes.
That means:
- Better durability
- Better moisture resistance
- Stronger joinery
- Longer lifespan
- No flimsy cam locks at joints
When you see pricing between $5,000 and $25,000 here, you’re looking at plywood construction, not lower-tier materials often found in big-box offerings.
Some Examples and Real-Life Cabinet Pricing
So lets take a look at some real examples with pricing anchored to the exact layouts shown.
Keep in mind, when you change layout, thats when pricing changes, because it now uses different base cabinets and variations to make up the whole kitchen. See our Styles page for examples of what we mean here.
Also, remember, at BluePrint Cabinets, door style and colour do not affect cabinet pricing. We like to keep it simple around here.
Handles/pulls, countertops, appliances, plumbing, electrical, backsplash, flooring, and installation are not included in these prices.

How We Compare
When people see cabinet pricing online, the natural question is:
Why is one kitchen $5,000 and another $20,000?
Usually, it comes down to materials and construction.
Cabinet Comparison
Feature | Blueprint Cabinets | Big Box Stores | Custom Cabinet Shops |
Cabinet Box Material | AA-grade plywood | Often particleboard | Varies |
Interior Finish | Finished grade | Often unfinished | Finished |
Drawer Boxes | Solid wood | Often particleboard or thin plywood | Varies |
Face Frames | Solid wood | Varies | Varies |
Soft-Close Hinges | Included | Sometimes extra | Varies |
Soft-Close Slides | Included | Sometimes extra | Varies |
Delivered Flat Packed | Yes (RTA) | Yes | No |
Assembly | Homeowner assembles | Homeowner assembles | Fully built |
Typical Kitchen Range | $5,000–$25,000 | $4,800–$25,000 | $15,000–$60,000+ |
Big-box cabinets may appear cheaper at first glance, but they often use particleboard boxes and charge extra for soft-close upgrades.
Custom cabinets can be excellent — but price alone doesn’t guarantee better materials. Construction methods and material choices vary by shop. When comparing similar plywood construction, custom cabinetry often costs significantly more due to labor and build time.
Blueprint sits in the middle:
- Plywood construction
- Solid wood components
- Soft-close standard
- No particleboard boxes
- You assemble
- You save
You get custom-level construction quality at RTA pricing. Fully custom kitchens fit to your home. The only thing we can’t do is customize individual cabinets, like adding two drawers instead of three or something specific like that.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Cabinet Pricing in Fredericton
How much do kitchen cabinets cost in Fredericton, NB?
Most full kitchen cabinet packages in Fredericton range between $5,000 and $25,000 CAD, depending on layout size, island dimensions, pantry walls, and cabinet quantity. Material quality and construction also impact pricing.
What affects kitchen cabinet pricing the most?
The biggest cost drivers are:
- Total wall length (linear feet)
- Island size
- Tall pantry cabinets
- Uppers to ceiling
- Overall cabinet and drawer density
Colour and door style do not affect pricing at BluePrint Cabinets.
Are RTA cabinets good quality?
Yes — when built with proper materials and joinery. Ours are.
Our RTA cabinets use:
- AA-grade plywood boxes
- Solid wood drawer boxes
- Solid wood face frames
- Soft-close hardware standard
The quality comes from materials and joinery — not whether it arrives assembled.
Are plywood cabinets better than particleboard?
Plywood is generally more durable and moisture-resistant than particleboard. It holds screws better and performs better in long-term kitchen environments.
That’s why we do not use particleboard cabinet boxes.
How long does delivery take for our cabinets?
Most orders arrive within 1–3 weeks after final payment and order confirmation.
Do you install cabinets?
We do not directly install cabinets, but we can refer you to trusted installers in the Fredericton area.
Do you offer financing?
Financing options may be available depending on the project. Speak with our team during your consultation.
Do cabinet colours or styles affect price?
At BluePrint Cabinets, colour choice and door style do not affect pricing. Cabinet cost is driven by layout size and cabinet quantity, not aesthetic finish.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Cabinet orders must be paid in full before we submit the final order to the manufacturer.
