The short version
| System, base and wall cabinets | Typical Torrance price, installed |
|---|---|
| Ready-to-assemble system | $180–$360 per linear ft |
| Melamine or thermofoil custom boxes | $230–$450 per linear ft |
| Powder-coated steel, modular | $290–$570 per linear ft |
| Plywood custom boxes | $350–$670 per linear ft |
Base cabinets alone cost about $90–$190 less per foot, and tall cabinets add about $90–$170 more than base and wall together. These are market estimates, not quotes. No South Bay price list is published, so the ranges start from out-of-state vendor guides and a Los Angeles installation estimate of about $150–$380 per linear foot for cabinets in general.
What moves the number
- System. Steel, melamine, thermofoil, plywood or a ready-to-assemble box.
- Height mix. Base only, base and wall, or base, wall and tall.
- Length. The run in linear feet; corners count once.
- Extras. Bench top, slatwall, lights, locks, racks and extra anchoring, each priced on its own.
- Access and clearing. Moving the contents out and back and hauling away old shelving.
- Walls and ceiling. Crooked walls need backing boards; a rack needs a ceiling check.
Same wall, very different quotes
One installer's quote may include the tops, the lights and the haul-away, and another's may leave all three out. A quote is more useful as a list than as a total. Ask what the boxes are made of, what the hinges and slides are rated for, how each cabinet is attached and who takes away the old shelving, then compare lists rather than totals.
Worked prices for common Torrance garages
| Garage | Job | Typical total |
|---|---|---|
| Tight two-car garage, one side wall | 14 ft of melamine, base and wall, lighting, haul-away | $3,420–$7,150 |
| Two-car garage, back wall | 20 ft of steel, base and wall, coastal hardware, lighting | $6,000–$12,300 |
| Two-car garage, full makeover | 20 ft of steel, base, wall and tall, bench, slatwall, rack | $8,570–$17,950 |
Moving the contents out and back is a separate line of about $150–$500.
How to read a quote line by line
Start with the per-foot price and the number of feet it applies to, then look for the lines that sit outside it: the bench, the lights, extra anchoring, a ceiling check, moving and disposal. A quote that lists none of them has either folded them into the rate or left them out. Ask which, because the answer changes the comparison.
