Quoting custom cabinetry at a fixed price
A cabinet maker's quote should fix the price against a specific drawing revision, state the deposit and lead time, and explain how changes after approval are priced.
The quote turns 52 hours of labour into a fixed $3,998.00; if the job runs over, the cabinet shop absorbs the extra time, so quote hours you are confident about.
The biggest single commitment is "Shop fabrication: carcasses, face frames and shelves" at $2,940.00 (33% of the price): name the exact model, grade or deliverable so there is no argument about what was promised.

The acceptance block
A quote becomes an agreement when the customer accepts it; leave room at the bottom of quote QUO-4992 for:
- The accepted price, $8,788.00, and the quote number
- Customer name (Robin Okafor in the sample), signature and date
- The deposit due on signing, $4,394.00, and how to pay it
- The last day the price holds (30 days after issue in this sample)
Cabinet Maker pricing tips
- Reference the approved drawing revision on the invoice, so any change asked for after approval can be traced and billed as an extra instead of argued over.
- Bill design time on its own line even if you credit it against the build, because a customer who takes your drawings to another shop should still pay for that work.
- Record wood species, sheen and paint color; matching a replacement door or an added cabinet later is impossible without them.
- Hardware upgrades such as soft-close slides or specialty pulls vanish into a lump-sum price, so list each type with its quantity.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write a cabinet maker quote?
List exactly what is included (8 lines for design, build and install a 14 ft built-in bookcase and media wall in painted maple in the sample), give one fixed price ($8,788.00), the validity period and payment terms, and add a signature block for acceptance.
Is a cabinet maker quote binding once accepted?
Generally yes: an accepted quote is a fixed-price offer for the scope it describes, so extra work needs a new quote or a signed variation. Local contract law decides the details.
Should a cabinet maker quote ask for a deposit?
Custom cabinetry is built to order, so half up front before materials are bought is standard.
