Cabinetry represents one of the largest cost categories in a kitchen renovation, accounting for 30–35% of a full kitchen remodeling budget according to the 2025 Kitchen Remodel Cost Guide by This Old House. To help homeowners plan effectively, DIY Depot USA’s guide breaks down three primary cabinet investment tiers: budget-friendly options ranging from $100–$250 per linear foot, mid-range selections priced $250–$500 per linear foot, and premium options ranging from $600–$1,000 per linear foot. These tiers are intended to give Bakersfield residents clear expectations before beginning a remodeling project.
The guide also highlights the cabinet styles most frequently selected during renovations. More than 42% of homeowners renovate because they can no longer tolerate their current kitchen style, based on a Houzz survey cited by Kitchen Cabinet Kings (2024–2025). Additionally, glass-front cabinets have emerged as a leading trend, selected by 36% of renovating homeowners, according to the 2025 Houzz Kitchen Trends Study (Real Simple, 2025). The resource outlines how Bakersfield homeowners can apply these trends through Shaker, raised panel, flat panel, or glass-front designs while considering durability for the region’s warm, dry climate.
“Bakersfield homeowners continue to prioritize upgrades that balance design appeal with long-term durability,” said a spokesperson from DIY Depot USA. “This guide helps residents evaluate cabinet materials, understand cost tiers, and plan renovations with clarity at a time when national remodel spending remains elevated.”
To ensure practicality, the guide includes recommendations on climate-appropriate materials such as plywood or hardwood frames, moisture-resistant finishes, and soft-close hardware. It also outlines money-saving approaches including mixing cabinet tiers, exploring ready-to-assemble (RTA) options, and prioritizing strong cabinet frames before upgrading hardware over time.
