Let me chime in. The HD doesn't make cabinets. They order them and make a profit. they also make a ton of mistakes. I have yet to find a completely satisfied HD customer.

Find a direct connection to the manufacturer. Often times, the rep will have installers. They usually get about 10% of the total cost of the prefinished cabinets, less if unfinished.

I got the rep down another 15% on the last cabinets I ordered by shopping and bargaining.

Don't order knobs and knick knacks from the rep/distributor. You can do much better online. That's probably where they'd go anyway.

Average kichen:
Cabinets, $15,000
Counters, 1/4th to 1/2 that.
Floors, ditto.
Appliances (standard) $5000
Plumbing and fixtures (standard), $3000
Electrical and lighting, min $1000
Don't forget painting, doors, window(s), etc.
