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 :)
To anyone that has their kitchen renovation done recently by IKEA, how much did you pay for and was the quality good?
Our kitchen is 2.92x2.41m so it’s not big at all. Wondering how much it costs you guys, their process and service.
TIA
