IKEA Cabinet Installation Palm Springs to Los Angeles

5.0 from 62 Google reviews

Ivan and his crew install IKEA kitchens that homeowners say look custom built, with 27 years of cabinet experience behind every job.

IKEA kitchens that do not look like IKEA

INNOVATION Cabinetry Installs specializes in IKEA cabinet installation in Palm Springs, Los Angeles and the towns in between, including full kitchen remodels. One customer put it simply: "I never thought an IKEA kitchen could look this custom."

The difference is in the planning. Ivan knows the IKEA system well enough to cut, adjust and add to it, so a curved wall, a deep pantry or a wasted gap next to the fridge becomes useful storage.

Reviewers mention attention to detail again and again, along with clean, fast work and fair pricing. If you have already bought your cabinets, or you are still deciding, call and talk it through.

We completed a full kitchen remodel using IKEA Axstad White Shaker cabinets, and hiring Ivan was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire project.

From the very beginning, Ivan was communicative, dependable, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. He showed up when he said he would, stayed on schedule, and completed the project exactly when promised. What impressed us most wasn't just his installation skills, but his ability to think creatively and help us improve our original design.

Throughout the project, Ivan patiently listened to our ideas and offered thoughtful suggestions that made the kitchen significantly better than we had imagined. He never pressured us, but instead helped us see opportunities to maximize both function and beauty.

One of the most challenging areas of our kitchen is a curved wall located behind the staircase. Rather than simply working around it, Ivan embraced the challenge and created solutions that gave the space a true custom-built feel. He carefully modified one of the cabinets to accommodate the curve and suggested replacing what would have been standard upper cabinets with beautiful open wood shelving, allowing the architectural details of the curved wall and ceiling beam to become design features instead of something hidden away. Looking back, this ended up being one of our favorite elements of the entire kitchen.

He also suggested adding glass-front upper cabinets to display our dishes. Originally, we were planning on traditional solid white cabinet doors throughout, but his recommendation added warmth, character, and visual interest to the space. We are so glad we trusted his expertise.

Ivan also helped us create practical custom touches that would have cost much more through a traditional custom cabinet shop. For example, he designed a pull-out broom and mop storage cabinet next to our refrigerator, making use of otherwise wasted space. He installed lighting inside every kitchen drawer, giving the kitchen a high-end luxury feel. Our pantry area, located beneath the large picture window, appears to have two large drawers from the outside, but inside he installed additional pull-out inner drawers that dramatically increased storage and organization.

The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail was exceptional. We had what felt like hundreds of cabinets, drawers, accessories, and IKEA components, yet Ivan handled every detail flawlessly. Anyone who has worked with IKEA products knows they can be surprisingly intricate, and having someone with Ivan's experience made all the difference.

Beyond his technical expertise, Ivan was simply a pleasure to work with. He was patient, professional, fair in his pricing, and genuinely invested in helping us achieve the best possible result. He treated our kitchen as if it were his own project.

The end result is a kitchen that looks and functions like a custom-designed space, but without the custom cabinet price tag.

If you are considering IKEA kitchen cabinets, IKEA storage systems, or any IKEA furniture installation, do yourself a favor and call Ivan. His expertise, creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail are truly unmatched.

We could not be happier with our new kitchen, and we're incredibly grateful for everything Ivan did to help turn our vision into reality. Highly recommend!

Ivan and his son were incredible! I never thought an IKEA kitchen could look this custom. But Ivan really knows the products and how to work with them to achieve a high end appearance. He was always communicative and helpful with suggestions. When it comes to work that is great, fast, and cost effective- people say you can only pick 2 out of the 3. But with Ivan, we got all 3 for sure.

Innovation Cabinetry Installs installed my IKEA kitchen. Ivan and his team are perfectionists! Every detail is considered and planned. Ivan leaves nothing undone. There were changes that came up which Ivan resolved with his ingenuity and skill. His work is fast, focused and clean. I love my new kitchen! Added bonus is that Ivan and his assistant are great guys! Very kind and a pleasure to be around as they completed the job. Any cabinetry needs in the future I will ONLY consider Innovation Cabinetry.
