WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT US
"The Assembly Squad team was a real life saver. They helped my 74 year old father redo his IKEA kitchen. I couldn't help as much as I would have liked since I live in another state and I am grateful that I found the team to come and work out the details with him. They helped from beginning to end including going to IKEA which can be difficult to navigate for my dad. They also took care of delivery and demo as well as electrical, paint and backsplash. I don't know how we could have done it without them.
F.A.Q
WHY CHOOSE AN IKEA KITCHEN?
- The question should be, why would you choose anything else?
- Truly the best added value for most homes - this is your best shot at doing a remodeling project that adds more to your home's value than it costs.
- IKEA kitchens have better looks and functionality, and lower cost, than similar quality pre-built cabinets.
- Sleek, contemporary European design.
- 25 Year warranty on all cabinets.
- No waiting - most kitchen styles are available for same day pick up.
- Hassle free ordering, delivery, and installation, with our concierge service.
- Brand new IKEA cabinets cost far less than any comparable refacing option.
- Wide variety of cabinet configurations, accessories, and functionality available.
IKEA kitchens and wardrobes are designed around the "frame-less" concept that is the industry standard for Europe and many other parts of the world. Most North American cabinets are pre-assembled "face-frame" cabinets, and most general contractors and cabinet installers only have experience with this type of installation. These contractors may be talented at what they do, but we have found they often refuse to work with frame-less cabinets, or try to talk the client out of it. Given the better value offered by IKEA cabinets, we believe the client is better served by having that choice available. Other less experienced contractors may jump into such a project and simply fail to appreciate what is required to build and install an IKEA kitchen properly (the "how hard can it be" attitude). This often leads to problems for both the client and the contractor; we get calls every week asking us to fix the problems they are having from a botched job. We only take on such jobs occasionally. Since we usually don't get the call until the point of the project where deadlines and budget are blown, we rarely come to mutually agreeable terms to perform a project rescue.
HOW MUCH WILL MY PROJECT COST?
Overall, taking into account product and installation cost, IKEA kitchens will cost you significantly less than standard kitchens of similar styling and quality. It is very difficult to estimate the actual cost of a complete remodel or installation without knowing the details of what is going into your kitchen, but generally, IKEA kitchens cost significantly less for the product itself but more for the installation. Depending on your cabinet configuration and choice of fronts, the same size kitchen can cost twice as much or more for the product, while the installation cost will vary much less. This means that the installation cost can range from a small percentage of the overall cabinet cost, to well more than half of it, depending on your choices. We study the IKEA lineup and pricing and can help you navigate these choices. To estimate your cost we will need a detailed design, item list, and/or an on-site visit. Take a few moments to fill out our contact form, E-mail us or give us a call (312 544-9150). Once we have received the information we will give you a good idea of your cost.
WHY HIRE US?
We will install your cabinets to standards that meet or exceed manufacturer's instructions - we will do it right. You can expect the highest standards of workmanship and professionalism from us. At Assembly Squad, we know the ins and outs of frame-less cabinetry.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO INSTALL MY CABINETS?
A wardrobe installation can take between several hours to several days depending on the complexity of the installation. A kitchen installation can take a single day to several days, depending on size and services included. A full project, which may include demolition, plumbing, drywall and electrical work might take up to two weeks or more.
I WANT TO SAVE SOME MONEY HOW MUCH OF THE WORK CAN I DO MY SELF?
DIY can save money if you know what you are doing, but it can cost you a lot more if you don't. You may end up with something that looks worse than when you started. It can also bring you a lot of headaches, frustration, and "domestic disharmony," the latter being very costly indeed! IKEA kitchens are designed to be completed by 1-2 people who have the skills and understand the process very well, with a set of tools that costs about $500-$600. However, that is only the beginning of the story, just for the cabinet installation, let alone all the other work that goes into a kitchen remodel. A variety of skill sets is required to install cabinets properly, from assembling a simple cabinet frame to the complexities of customization. We have seen many instances where the client attempted to save money by assembling the cabinets, and we cringe when we hear that. These potential clients often fail to appreciate that this part is the simplest and lowest cost part of the job; it accounts for only about 10% of the job's overall value, so there is not much money to be saved. The value of the lead installer's work is the biggest part of the job. Do not wait for this to call. It comes from knowledge, experience, problem-solving skills, and field-tested adherence to quality standards, and their ability to instill these qualities in their team.
If you are acting as your own project manger or general contractor, you need to be ready for the challenges any large project can hold. Be sure you have completed all of your planing in advance. It is very important that work is performed in the correct order. Have all of your structural changes been made, electrical and plumbing roughed out and if necessary inspected, including any preparation for fixture (like recessed lighting, sinks etc.) before you do the drywall. Sound obvious ? It is if you have the right experience

SHOULD I DO MY OWN ASSEMBLY AND LET ASSEMBLY SQUAD DO THE INSTALLATION ? WON'T I SAVE MONEY THAT WAY?
Assembly Squad does not recommend an " assembly only" or an "installation only" service. We are very particular about how the cabinets are assembled as the strength of the frames is based on proper assembly. We know what we are doing and strive for only the highest standard of installation. We have visited countless job sites where the repair costs alone amounted to what the initial cost should have been. Countless installations make perfect! We do not say all of this to sell you more services (although admittedly that is what happens when we assemble and install), but because we find our clients' satisfaction levels (which we measure) are higher when we perform both services.
WHAT CAN I DO TO ENSURE THE BEST RESULT?
Research
Involve us in the process early. Take some time to gather images that have some aspects you'd like to adapt for your space. Make notes for yourself. Check out appliances you will replace and/or add. This part is a bit iterative, in that certain choices influence each other both ways. For example, if you can keep the fridge, this frees you to spend more on the stove, or do I have enough space to build in a wall oven?
Sufficient advance planning
As we indicated above in "What Other Services...," we can work with you in various capacities, each of which takes on a different level of planning and coordination. If you are acting as your own GC, think of this as a project plan for work, say, where you identify the relevant factors, set forth a timeline, allow for contingencies, etc. If you'd like help in the process, we are prepared to handle as much of the overall project as you like. The key is to make sure that someone is handling it.
Like many other endeavors, planning is subject to diminishing returns. However, it is better to err on the side of more, in order to anticipate as many issues before they become costly, a source of delays, or force major project changes after the start. You need a timeline of what has to happen, and when, who will do it, and who will ensure that it is done properly.
Realistic deadlines
This cannot be over-emphasized. Most kitchen projects take 1-2 months or more, and not having realistic deadlines (and some cushion for delays) can sidetrack the tasks that follow downstream of a blown interim deadline. If every phase of your project follows with zero time in between, you risk not having a vital resource available when it is needed (such as a rough inspection getting delayed and holding back cabinet installation, which delays countertop people, painters, tile installers, etc.).
Budget
This is usually the biggest source of angst. If functionality is your key desired outcome, this may apply more upward pressure. If it is resale value, then it is more formulaic - what is the "Goldilocks" percent of a home's value that should be spent in the kitchen remodel? Achieving the happy result that your home's value rises by more than you spent - creating value - is more art than science. Make sure you are leaving sufficient room for flooring, final finishes, lighting fixtures, new equipment, and other factors that may escape your attention, especially if you are "just trying to replace what's there" to save money. Unless you already have a truly perfect kitchen that is just old, all this effort should make it better, not just a newer version of your old space, right?
