Wages behind the Oregon number
Oregon's labor line is priced from 3 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 1.14 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $30.23 an hour, 4% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.26 and $44.89 an hour. About 15,110 work in the state. That is 76.8 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For electricians (47-2111, weighted 10%) the local median is $48.71 an hour, which is 60% above the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $38.03 and $58.50 an hour. BLS counts 10,590 of them working in the state, 53.8 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 48.7), so the local bench is about average.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 10% of the weighting: a median of $46.66 an hour, 52% above the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $36.02 and $60.77 an hour. About 5,370 work in the state. That is 27.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.0 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($44.89 an hour) would add about $1,750 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($24.26) would take off about $720. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,967,130 jobs across Oregon (May 2025), which is 1.3% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 80% | $24.26 | $30.23 | $44.89 | $29.12 | 1.04 | state |
| Electricians (47-2111) | 10% | $38.03 | $48.71 | $58.50 | $30.38 | 1.60 | state |

Stock cabinets, same layout
Standard

Why two Oregon quotes can differ
Stock, semi-custom or custom
Stock cabinets run $100-$400 per linear foot installed, semi-custom $150-$700, and custom $500-$1,200 (HomeGuide).
Layout changes
Keeping the plumbing and wiring where it is saves real money. Moving them brings in plumbers and electricians.
Removal
Taking out the old cabinets is $300-$600, though many installers fold it into their labor price.
Permit
Kitchen remodeling permits are $500-$1,500 where one is needed, usually when you change layout, plumbing or wiring.
Kitchen cabinets cost by metro in Oregon
1 of the 5 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $10,000, and the top-to-bottom gap is 13%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.
| Metro | Range (25 linear ft) | Midpoint | vs. state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portland, OR | $4,800 – $16,600 | $10,700 | +7% |
| Bend, OR | $4,550 – $15,200 | $9,850 | −1% |
| Eugene, OR | $4,550 – $15,100 | $9,800 | −2% |
| Salem, OR | $4,500 – $14,900 | $9,650 | −3% |
| Medford, OR | $4,450 – $14,500 | $9,500 | −5% |
