Why two Midland 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.

Who does the work: Midland trade wages
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Midland the blend is 0.99.
Carpenters (47-2031), 80% of the weighting: a median of $29.24 an hour, in line with the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.60 and $34.63 an hour. About 170 work in the metro. That is 13.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For electricians (47-2111, weighted 10%) the local median is $28.62 an hour, which is 6% below the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $22.88 and $35.20 an hour. BLS counts 980 of them working in the area, 80.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 48.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (47-2152), 10% of the weighting: a median of $29.18 an hour, 5% below the US median of $30.67. The middle half of them earn between $23.45 and $38.46 an hour. About 510 work in the metro. That is 41.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.0 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (carpenters) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $650 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $560. That is a swing of roughly 6.3% to 7.3% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
