Three ways quoting eats your week, and why shop owners go looking for cabinet estimating software in the first place.
Your cabinet estimating spreadsheet has been tweaked so many times you’re not sure which file is real. A full kitchen can eat a whole evening, and you still wonder if the math is right. An evening gone, and you’re still not sure the numbers are right.
You finally finish the quote. Then they ask what maple costs instead of birch, or want pull-outs added. Now you’re rebuilding the whole thing or guessing on the phone while they wait. Re-quoting steals time you don’t have.
The job’s done and the invoice is out. Somewhere between the quote and the build, your cabinet making profit margin walked out the door. Materials cost more than you thought, labor ran long, or hardware never made it into the price. By the time you know, the job’s already closed.
Let’s break it down. Ripsawn cuts the late-night grind. You quote while the customer is still on the line, with line items, materials, and numbers they can trust.
Choose base, wall, tall, or vanity cabinets. Set dimensions, sheet goods, door style, and finish right in the app. You’re not waiting on a drawing to get a number. It works for kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, built-ins, and commercial casework.
Every change updates material, labor hours, overhead, and margin. The software does the math so you stop pricing from gut feel. You see the number move the second you change a spec.
Send a branded PDF or a link they can open on a phone. Itemize doors, boxes, accessories, trim, when you expect payment, and terms so the proposal matches what you’ll build. For the first time, you know exactly where every quote stands.
Sloppy quotes create doubt. Good cabinet estimating software gives you a proposal that looks as sharp as your boxes.
Under 15 minutes
Manual quoting often runs four to six hours a job. That’s why people shop for cabinet estimating software for kitchen cabinets. Ripsawn uses pre-built cabinet types, your materials, and live pricing. You build the quote while you talk.
Every cost accounted for
Most shops price from memory or an old sheet. Ripsawn rolls up materials, labor at your rate, overhead, and cabinet making profit margin. The quote matches what the job actually costs. You find out if a job is profitable before you commit to it, not after.
One click
Branded PDFs with line items, your logo, terms, and a simple accept flow. No more printing an Excel sheet to PDF. Your customer gets a cabinet quote they can read on a phone.
30-second revisions
Swap birch for maple in a dropdown and the whole job reprices. Show old vs. new so they see the difference. No rebuild, no back-of-napkin math.
Whether you build kitchens, vanities, built-ins, or millwork, Ripsawn keeps quoting fast and honest. You stay a cabinet shop, not a software company.
You’re quoting five to twenty kitchens a month with custom sizes, doors, and finishes. A real custom cabinet estimator in software beats guessing off old takeoffs.
Vanities, linen cabinets, and tight bath layouts need tight numbers. Small jobs still need accurate cabinet quoting.
Fewer boxes, trickier configs: entertainment walls, offices, mudroom lockers. You need pricing that keeps up.
Office, retail, and hospitality casework means bigger tabs and more line items. Clean proposals matter when the job value is high. Many packages reference quality expectations for architectural woodwork according to the Architectural Woodwork Institute.
If you pair casework with crown, panels, and trim, millwork estimating software in the same job keeps everything in one quote.
Here is why these numbers look the way they do.
Most options in this space are not modern SaaS. Custom Cabinet Estimator charges a one-time fee in the $299-$499 range. Pro100 is a roughly $2,549 one-time buy. Builder Prime, the closest CRM-style competitor for contractors, runs about $79-$239 per month for a generic job tool, not a quote-first cabinet workflow. Ripsawn is web-native and built around the bid, so we price at the high end of indie SaaS where the math still feels obvious.
Say you quote eight jobs a month at about $9,000 each. Save even three hours per quote at $50 an hour in shop time. That is $1,200 a month back. A $97 subscription pays for itself in part of one job. Starter at $97 slips under the mental “under $100” line while still feeling like a real business tool. Shop at $197 stays under the top of that contractor-CRM band while giving you more firepower for a growing shop.

No. Most cabinet design software requires a 3D drawing before it can calculate a price. Ripsawn works the opposite way. You configure the job directly: cabinet type, dimensions, material, door style, finish. Get an accurate price without drawing a single wall. Design later, or let your existing design software handle that separately once the job is sold.
Custom kitchen cabinet shops, bathroom vanity builders, built-in and entertainment center fabricators, commercial casework contractors, and millwork shops. If you’re quoting custom cabinet jobs and the process currently takes hours, Ripsawn is cabinet shop software built around your workflow, not adapted from something made for a different trade.
Cabinet design tools like Cabinet Vision or Pro100 are built for designing cabinets and generating cut lists. They’re excellent at that. Ripsawn is built for the step before that: quoting the job and winning it. Many shops use Ripsawn to get a price out fast, then move the sold job into their design software for production. They solve different problems.
Accurate cabinet pricing means accounting for four things: material costs (sheet goods, hardware, consumables), labor at your actual shop rate, overhead (rent, utilities, equipment), and your target profit margin. Most shops underestimate one or more of these, usually labor or overhead, and find out too late. For a third-party check on hourly pay and demand in the trade, see occupational outlook data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Ripsawn calculates all four automatically for every line item, so how to price custom cabinets stops being a gut-feel exercise and starts being a repeatable process. Change your material costs once and every future quote updates automatically.
Yes. Shops that do millwork alongside cabinetry can quote both in the same job. Crown molding, wall panels, trim runs, and wainscoting all have their own line items alongside the cabinet boxes. If you need millwork estimating software and cabinet quoting in one place instead of switching between tools, that’s exactly what Ripsawn handles.
Ripsawn starts at $97/month for the Starter plan: unlimited quotes, branded PDF output, and full pipeline tracking. The Shop plan is $197/month and adds revision history, win/loss analytics, custom labor rates, and priority support. Both plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
