Why two Bend quotes can differ
Permit
Kitchen remodeling permits are $500-$1,500 where one is needed, usually when you change layout, plumbing or wiring.
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.

Local wages behind the labor line
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 3 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Bend is 1.12 times the national level.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 80%) the local median is $29.64 an hour, which is in line with the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $23.71 and $35.99 an hour. BLS counts 1,180 of them working in the area, 109.0 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Electricians (47-2111), 10% of the weighting: a median of $47.69 an hour, 57% above the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $35.93 and $54.25 an hour. About 610 work in the metro. That is 56.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 48.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152, weighted 10%) the local median is $44.39 an hour, which is 45% above the national $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $29.79 and $47.62 an hour. BLS counts 240 of them working in the area, 22.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.0), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the carpenters on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($35.99 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $760. At the 25th percentile ($23.71) it shrinks by about $710. The total moves by 7.7% or 7.2%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 108,240 jobs in the Bend area. That makes it the 193rd largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.07% of US employment.
