Custom Cabinet Estimator
A custom cabinet estimator should price real jobs fast: configure cabinets, set your rates, and send a proposal in minutes.
Ripsawn is built for shops that quote kitchens, vanities, and built-ins without a multi-week CAD rollout first.
What a custom cabinet estimator should cover
Estimating custom work means more than a single square-foot guess. You need line items that match how you build.
- Standard cabinet types you can size and spec
- Your material and labor rates
- Overhead and margin in the same total
- Fast repricing when the customer changes a finish
- A branded proposal with clear line items
If the tool cannot hold those pieces together, you end up back in a spreadsheet.
A custom job needs a tool that knows cabinet types, not a blank grid of cells.
Free calculator vs full software
Want a rough number first? Use the free cabinet cost calculator. It gives a ballpark so you can sense-check a job.
This page is about the full software. Ripsawn stores your rates, builds a full quote from cabinet types, and sends a client-ready proposal. The calculator is the light version of the same idea.
When you are ready to send a real bid, you need more than a rough total. You need line items, your margin, and a PDF the customer can approve.
How Ripsawn estimates a custom job
Custom work rarely matches a stock SKU. You size each box, set the construction, and apply the rates you actually pay for sheet goods, hardware, and shop time.
One-off vanities, mixed wall heights, and built-ins with odd depths stay in the same job. The rollup still shows materials, labor, overhead, and margin before you send.
When a customer asks for a different finish on only part of the run, you update those pieces and keep the rest. No full rebuild.

Who this estimator is for
Shops that sell true custom: mixed kitchens, site-fit built-ins, and vanity runs that never match a catalog page.
It is a poor fit if every job is a fixed catalog price list. It is a strong fit if each bid has unique sizes and specs.
