We’re looking at putting an offer in on a house that needs a complete kitchen remodel. Nothing in the kitchen is usable. Realtor said a kitchen remodel would run us about 50k, but my parents did an ikea kitchen remodel 5 years ago for 30k with a much larger kitchen.

Has anyone done an IKEA kitchen remodel recently using their kitchen design tool? Was it accurate in terms of pricing? And did you hire someone to install, or install it yourself?

guys! we moved into a new house almost a year ago ... recently evaluated our options and settled with a renovation plan for our 40 yr old 200 sqft kitchen with Ikea cabinets. We designed the kitchen using IKEA kitchen planner. I've got a total of 3 quotes and 2 of those are specific to IKEA kitchen installation labor costs with some add-on work, such as, flooring, electrical work, outside venting hood, etc. I am providing the lower-end estimate below (see Table) and wondering if you see any gaps or ways to reduce cost further down or opportunities for negotiations. I know I may be able to accomplish some of the listed work myself but DIY might be a long shot given my demanding job and other family responsibilities.

Note that the IKEA kitchen cabinets may cost another $10k, tiles may cost around $2k, and kitchen appliances, including refrigerator, dishwasher, range, lighting, sink, etc. may end up being an additional $5 to 6k. So, overall, I am looking at $30k for the entire renovation.

Any advice or insight to keep down the overall cost would be appreciated :)
