Measuring & Design services
Initial visit for onsite consultation and estimate is no charge. Once you decide to retain my services, you will be charged a one-time fee of $225.00 prior to ordering your cabinetry. But initial consultation and estimate are completely free of charge and includes services described below:
This includes:
On site measuring of your kitchen
Multiple designs, until you have one that's right for you! No extra charge for redesigns!
On site double check of design to your walls to ensure a perfect fit. Often, when a kitchen is totally gutted, the dimensions are sometimes different- we want to make sure that everything will fit perfectly!
If needed, I can plot out your design on the walls before installation so that your plumber/electrician can plan out for lighting, water lines etc., no extra charge
Processing of order- you'll be able to complete your purchase right over the phone.
This fee is fully creditable towards your IKEA Kitchen Assembly and Installation package. It is non refundable and may not be applied towards installation of any brand other than IKEA.
Contractors and Home Builders:
We are hired by homeowners directly to assemble and install their new IKEA kitchen while a general contractor may be handling the demo work, flooring etc. In such cases we will try to accommodate your construction schedule and will reach out in advance to get an idea of your timeline. We also take special care to protect new floors and walls from damage. We also take all the IKEA boxes with us, leaving space in your dumpster. We clean our work area at the end of each day.
In addition, I'll visit your jobsite to "plot out" design so there's no guesswork where you'll need water and/or electric lines.
A word about Quality:
IKEA cabinets are manufactured to very precise standards. Parts fit together perfectly and cabinets are very strong when assembled properly. Drawers are steel boxes, and are well made with excellent materials. Doors and drawers both get soft closers. These cabinets will easily handle the weight of granite or quartz. IKEA offers a long term guarantee on all kitchen cabinet products. IKEA is a great modern look with a price and guarantee you can't beat. If you want a sleek, modern look- you've come to the right place!
How long will it take?
The typical kitchen assembly and installation may take from 1-7 days to complete, depending on size. My primary goal when starting your kitchen is to get it ready for your countertop fabricator to come out and template. I want to get your new kitchen up and running as soon as possible. Doors for custom modified cabinets may take longer for fabrication.
Do you offer removal and disposal of our existing kitchen?
Absolutely! Call for a quote. Demo charges include:
Protecting floor with .25" hardboard
Disconnecting and setting aside or removal of old appliances
Removal of existing cabinets and countertops
Haul away
Kitchen Design Assistance
I specialize in IKEA design and am happy to work with any designer! As I also fabricate and install your kitchen, I'll double check fit and finish prior to ordering. I'll especially want to review your design if you plan to use aftermarket fronts, such as SemiHandmade
Free alignment check included with all installed kitchens
Included with my service is a free door and drawer alignment check, at your convenience, to check that doors and drawers are properly aligned and working properly. I also use this appointment to check upper and lower cabinet mounting for safety and security. You can schedule this visit at any time after your installation is complete
Cardboard and packaging removal included with every kitchen assembly & install package
We will remove all IKEA cardboard and packaging materials and dispose of it for you, now included with every kitchen assembly and installation agreement.
Can I have granite or quartz installed on my new IKEA kitchen? Absolutely! My clients have granite and quartz installed all the time. A few of my clients have had countertops made of concrete, soapstone, and porcelain installed too.
Are IKEA cabinets made of particleboard? Most cabinets sold today are actually particleboard. IKEA cabinets are a Euro style cabinet, with no "face frame" like traditional cabinetry. In face frame cabinets, only the front of the cabinet is actually solid wood- the rest is particleboard. IKEA cabinets are a solid .75" melamine coated for bottoms, sides and shelves. Most cabinets have sides of .50" or less! IKEA is one of the best out there.
What about aftermarket fronts? I'm a registered installer for Swedish Door, Scherr's, SemiHandmade and others...
