Tips for finding an IKEA cabinet installer with IKD’s Install Connect

If you’re approaching the installation of your IKEA kitchen and need a qualified IKEA kitchen installer, you may be wondering where to begin.

As design professionals who’ve designed well over 3000 IKEA kitchens, we can tell you there are several important considerations to remember when searching for a cabinet installer in your area.

That’s why we came up with Install Connect, our database of independent qualified IKEA installers from the United States and Canada. Currently, there are 225 installers featured and we are constantly searching for others (Keep in mind, we’re specifying IKEA cabinet installers and not any cabinet installer.).

Just because a contractor or an installer is located in your area doesn’t mean they are willing or able to install IKEA cabinets. There is a checklist of IKEA installation skills they should possess.

Why Design with IKD?


This is so important because having an independent IKEA installer will ensure that you’ll feel confident that your IKEA kitchen cabinets are being assembled and installed correctly.

More importantly, the kitchen installation process will run more smoothly and save you money.

Install Connect provides that access and information. Basically, we’ve done extensive research on qualified IKEA cabinet installers so you don’t have to. Sounds pretty good, right?

Let’s take a look!

Install Connect: Independent Qualified IKEA Cabinet Installers

Install Connect is IKD’s proprietary database of independent qualified IKEA cabinet installers from across North America.

With 225 installers featured, Install Connect is a listing of IKEA cabinet installers that IKD has compiled for our customers. The listing is free for customers who are remodeling and have purchased the IKD package — and all IKD customers have access for life.

We specifically focused on installers from the United States and Canada who work with IKEA cabinets and who know how to install those cabinets as well as installing doors, panels, and fillers. Those elements are all necessary for a built-in look for your kitchen installation.

All of the installers on Install Connect are thoroughly vetted. In fact, hundreds of companies, websites, testimonials, and rating sites were reviewed and consulted to compile a “best of” installer list. We make sure their website is working and that they specifically work with IKEA.

We check testimonials on Yelp, Google, Angie’s List, HOUZZ, and other social media and confirm the areas they serve and how to contact them. Ultimately, we’ve placed ourselves in the customer’s shoes and researched what a customer should look for in an installer.

The Benefits of Using Install Connect

Benefits of Install Connect include:

  • Using Install Connect saves you time. All you need to do is type in your zip code and you will find IKEA installers closest to your area.
  • Initial quotes for your kitchen installation can be provided by sending our Design Package to the installer.
  • Install Connect reduces cost, minimizes errors, and cuts down on unnecessary return trips to IKEA. This is especially important to customers whose local IKEA is a long distance away.

(Note: If you are an installer and want to be part of Install Connect visit us at https://inspiredkitchendesign.com/contact/ with the following: Company name, website, areas served, company address, and contact name.)

How Does Install Connect Work?

As you begin your IKEA kitchen, Install Connect is a handy tool to have at your fingertips.

So, how does it work?

Once you have made your design payment, you’ll receive your Install Connect password. Then enter your city, province, or state. A listing of qualified IKEA installers will pop up from that specific geographic area.

Simply review and select your choice from the list of verified independent IKEA kitchen, bath, and closet installers (By the way, this will also help you to find installers that provide electrical, plumbing, or remodeling services as well).

Once you select one (or more) installer(s), email your IKD design package to them for a quote. This step alone will save you a tremendous amount of time, stress, and money!

Remember, many professional cabinet installers, including general contractors, will not install IKEA cabinets or don’t know how to do so. That’s why an independent qualified IKEA cabinet installer is so important. Without their help, the time spent randomly searching for a cabinet installer can quickly turn into a quest.

Install Connect provides access to that help. So, IKEA customers in search of the expertise — and peace of mind — that comes with finding an experienced IKEA cabinet installer will certainly appreciate this tool.It will make your IKEA kitchen installation run smoothly and make your kitchen look as good as possible, so why not get started today!
