Midland kitchens work hard — big families, oilfield schedules, and a lot of cooking at home. When it's time to remodel one, the smartest place to start is the cabinets: they're the largest cost in the room, they decide how the kitchen works every day, and everything else — counters, appliances, finishes — hangs off the cabinet layout. Here's how a remodel comes together, and what the cabinet side costs, using the same framework Midland and Odessa homeowners get on this site.
Cabinets here are priced by the linear foot — one foot of cabinet run along the wall. Bases count at the full rate, uppers at 70% (shallower, less material), and tall cabinets like pantries at 130% (floor to ceiling). The tier you pick sets the rate, and the rates are installed ranges:
Take a typical Midland kitchen — 16 feet of base cabinets with uppers over 9 of those feet. Counted the way the designer counts it, that's 16 + 6.3 = 22.3 linear feet, so the cabinet budget lands at:
Countertops, appliances, and any plumbing or electrical work sit on top of the cabinet figure. The full breakdown of how the math works is on the Midland cabinet prices page.
Beyond the cabinets, most Midland remodels include tearing out the old kitchen, possible layout changes (moving a sink, range, or wall brings plumbing and electrical into the job), countertops measured after the bases are in, and then flooring, backsplash, and paint to finish the room. Appliance sizes belong in the plan from day one — the cabinet design is built around the actual range and fridge going in, not a guess.
Design and measure take days. The build takes weeks — cabinets made to fit your kitchen are shop work, and shop work can't be hurried without showing it. Installation is the quick part once the boxes are ready, and a full remodel with countertops and flooring runs longer than a cabinet-only swap. Anybody promising a finished kitchen in a few days is skipping steps you'll pay for later. Settling the design and the budget early is what keeps the whole project on schedule.
