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?

I love IKEA and pretty much all our furniture is from there.
We've been planning to do our kitchen in the next year or so and general Contractors want insane amount of money for a remodel (like $16K+). So, I have a feeling we will end up doing our kitchen thru IKEA. However, I see mixed pricing ranging from only $6000 all the way up to $20K. Now I know all kitchen sizes vary. Mine is a standard 10x10 with about 12 cabinets.
I was at IKEA a few weeks ago and looked at the kitchens and some with the labor was only like $6000. Is that possible? Cuz my budget is no more than $10K for this project and I'd be even happier if it was way less.
I inquired about the process, they said they also come out to our house for about $200 and it's a 4 hour appointment where they design the layout on the laptop in 3D.
Does the price also include the demolition, or is that something we would have to do prior?
I feel like this super affordable price is too good to be true.
If anyone can give me some info on this I'd appreciate it and THANK YOU.
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.
| Description | Qty | Total $ |
|---|---|---|
| Demo: Removal of existing cabinets, counter tops, paneling, soffits | 1 | 1,500 |
| Patch: Patch the walls in preparation for cabinet installation/painting | 1 | 400 |
| Tile: Installation of new tile floor (customer to supply backer board, thin set,tiles and grout) 200 sq ft | 1 | 1,400 |
| Kitchen cabinets installation | 22 | 3,950 |
| Electric work: Installation of under cabinet lighting | 1 | 200 |
| Electric work: Installation of new dedicated line for microwave and island outlet | 1 | 350 |
| Electric work: installation of new GFI outlets | 4 | 480 |
| Electric: installation of recessed lighting fixture ( customer to supply fixtures ) | 6 | 720 |
| Electric: Installation of new pendant lights | 3 | 360 |
| back splash: Installation of new tile back splash including hood area (customer to supply tiles and grout) 40 sq ft | 1 | 1,000 |
| Install duct work for vent hood | 1 | 300 |
| Install and connect sink and faucet (including new valves) , dishwasher, vent hood | 1 | 950 |
| Removal of all trash/debris associated with the project | 1 | 600 |
| Grand Total: | 12,210 |
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 :)
