No estimator visit. No surprise upcharges. The person who quotes the job is the person who installs it — no franchise, no call center.
What our IKEA cabinet installation includes
We handle the whole job — from flat-pack boxes to a level, aligned, soft-close kitchen ready for countertop templating. Assembly is included, or we'll install cabinets you've already built.
- Flat-pack assembly of SEKTION boxes, drawers & hardware
- Suspension rail mounted dead-level to the wall
- Cabinets anchored securely into wall studs
- Leg leveling for a flat run ready for countertops
- Filler panels & toe kicks cut and scribed to fit
- Doors & drawers hung and soft-close adjusted to even gaps
Need finishing touches elsewhere? Pair your install with countertop resurfacing and sink refinishing to complete the kitchen — or refinish your old cabinets instead with cabinet refinishing.
Why have a pro install your IKEA kitchen?
IKEA cabinets are excellent value, but the SEKTION system is unforgiving if the suspension rail isn't dead-level or the boxes aren't anchored into studs. A pro install means doors that line up, drawers that glide, and a flat run your countertop fabricator can template without surprises.
It also saves a weekend (or three). A full SEKTION kitchen has dozens of boxes, hinges, and drawer fronts; we assemble and hang them in 2–4 days with the right tools and a level reference, instead of a frustrating DIY marathon. And because we're licensed and insured, the work is anchored safely and covered.
- Level & square. A true rail and leveled legs keep countertops from rocking or gapping.
- Anchored safely. Cabinets are secured into studs, not just drywall.
- Tight, even gaps. Hinges and drawers adjusted so doors align like a showroom.
- Countertop-ready. We hand off a flat, square run ready for templating.
How much does IKEA cabinet installation cost in the Bay Area?
Most installs run $1,200–$6,000, priced mainly by cabinet count and any filler, panel, or scribe work. Bay Area labor runs about 20–30% above the national average, so we publish real local ranges — and a photo of your plan gets the exact fixed price in 60 minutes.
| Kitchen size | Approx. cabinets | Install cost | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | up to 10 boxes | $1,200–$2,200 | 1–2 days |

Pricing covers assembly, rail mounting, leveling, anchoring, fillers, toe kicks, and door/drawer adjustment. Countertop and appliance work is quoted separately and coordinated with your schedule.
How we install an IKEA kitchen, step by step
SEKTION installs cleanly when it's done in the right order. We follow the same sequence every time so the run ends up level, anchored, and countertop-ready in 2–4 days.
Review your plan & parts Day 1
We check your IKEA planner layout against the delivered boxes and confirm fillers, panels, and hardware before starting.
Assemble the cabinets Day 1–2
Flat-pack boxes, drawers, and hinges are assembled correctly and squarely — the foundation of a clean install.
Mount the suspension rail Day 2
We set the SEKTION rail dead-level with a laser reference so every cabinet hangs true.
Hang & anchor into studs Day 2–3
Cabinets are hung on the rail and anchored into studs, then connected and aligned to each other.
Level legs, fillers & toe kicks Day 3
Base legs are leveled, and filler panels and toe kicks are cut and scribed for a seamless fit.
Doors, drawers & soft-close Day 3–4
We hang doors and drawer fronts and adjust hinges and slides for even, factory-tight gaps.
Final check & countertop hand-off Day 4
We confirm the run is level and square and hand it off ready for countertop templating.
