Note the model scales linearly, so it will understate a very small kitchen, where a contractor minimum charge usually applies, and overstate a very large one, where setup is spread further.

Why the labour share is so high

Cabinet work runs at roughly 83% labour, the highest share of any job on this site, because almost none of the cost is paint. Doors come off, get degreased, sanded or de-glossed, primed, sprayed with two finish coats with drying time between, then reassembled and re-hung square. That is true in Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom exactly as it is everywhere. Solid wood and MDF doors take paint well; thermofoil and laminate need specialist treatment and are often priced separately.
