Joe Runkle

Joe is the best! I googled IKEA kitchen installers and Joe came up as one of the first searches. I am SO happy I emailed him. He had quick responses and quoted me almost half of what the people at IKEA wanted to rip me off for. Not only that, he installed 4 days later. His work was perfection, and he was so friendly. We love our new desk area in the office!
Hire Joe immediately!

Thank you Joe for the wonderful work that you did on our kitchen! We installed the cabinet boxes on our own but needed a carpenter to cut and install all of the finishing panels on the island and on the sides of our cabinets to complete the finished look. Additionally, we asked Joe to install a cabinet box above our refrigerator. Joe answered all of my emails leading up to the install within 24 hours (thank you for this professionalism!) and had availability for my 1 day job within a very reasonable time (thank you for fitting us in to your busy schedule!). While on the job, Joe did wonderful work that we are very happy with! The attention to detail was outstanding and he takes great pride in his work! Additionally, Joe saved me $ 100 bucks by being able to return an extra panel I bought since he was able to install some excess paneling that we had from a large island panel (thank you!). My only regret is that I wish I called Joe sooner to do the entire install as his work is perfect and he was very pleasant to work with. We love our finished kitchen. Thanks again! Tom

Joe was wonderful. His references had only great things to say about him and his work as do we. He’s quite busy but that gave us time to get everything in order for him to do the installation. So pleased with our IKEA cabinet install. We highly recommend him.

Joe did a great job installing IKEA cabinets in our pantry area. He was available right away and charged a fair price. We had tried to do it ourselves and soon found we were in over our heads. Calling Joe was the best decision we could have made and I highly recommend him for any project.

good and fast :)
email him the «paid IKEA DESIGN» done by IKEA consultant ($ 199)
and he quote me the price right away in 24 hours (via email) to the exact $
:) not estimate but exact $
Joe just did my cabinets while I have my general contractor do the granite countertop
In fact, I never met him in person, everything was done via texting
my general contractor is working on the bathroom and he works on the kitchen.
while in the middle of the his work, we have to stop before of the permit issue which very much inconvenience to both side, but he is very cool about at and things were done as beautiful as the ikea showroom at the end

We bought our Ikea cabinets to install ourselves, but decided against it. I found Joe online & fortunately for us, he was available right away. Even though he did not help us with the original kitchen design, he took the time to review the plans with you, draw on your walls/​floors to show you where everything would go. Then after the review, he puts on his earbuds & gets right to work. He is very meticulous in the building and installation to make sure everything is perfect… as if it’s his own kitchen! And he cleans up at the end of the day. you wouldn’t know a contractor had been working at your house.. He told us it would take 2.5 days & he stayed a little longer on the 2^nd day to make sure he’d finish up in half a day the 3^rd day.
He’ll be back to finish the kitchen — so far it looks great. I would definitely use him & recommend him to others. AND he gave us the best quote too.

If you are looking to install an IKEA kitchen you MUST call Joe. IKEA installers were 6 – 8 weeks out for install so we had to go another route. We found Joe online and because of his great reviews we gave him a call. He exceeded all expectations and was fantastic to work with. We gave him our design for the kitchen and he after meeting with us he said he could finish the job in three days and also suggested some changes that needed to be made in the design. He was always on time to work and stayed late into the nights so that he could finish the job on time. He was very friendly throughout the entire process and never got frustrated with our million questions. I think it is nice to have one person meet with you, build the kitchen, and do all the finishing touches. No subcontractors. Joe does everything and you deal with him the entire process. He loves what he does and takes pride in doing great work! His attention to detail and desire to make the kitchen perfect is a real attribute. Even though we hit a couple of snags and had to customize a few things, he never complained and always just wanted to make it right. His comment at the end of construction says it all… «I just like buildings nice kitchens for people so they can enjoy their kitchens with their families for the rest of their lives.»
If you are putting an IKEA kitchen in your house you HAVE to call Joe. He will make the experience very pleasant and will not leave the job until you are 100% satisfied. I cannot recommend Joe enough.

We found Joe by searching online for «Ikea kitchen installers» after meeting with Ikea’s preferred installer and being given an estimate almost twice as much as what Ikea advertises (and being told the first available installation time was four weeks out).
He is extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. All of his reviews on Unilocal and Thumbtack were phenomenal. His estimate was less than Ikea and he was available in a week. Still, I was nervous because I’d never hired a contractor before. Surely it couldn’t be this easy!
He reviewed our plans and cabinet list and recommended some changes to address issues that neither Ikea (nor their preferred installer) caught. We had a farmhouse sink with a 9″ apron front but Ikea (even though we showed them the specs) put 24″ doors in our order, which wouldn’t fit. Joe told us they make shorter doors, which aren’t even listed on Ikea’s website. He really knows everything about these cabinets! He approached everything with expertise, patience, and creativity. When we realized we ordered the wrong wall oven cabinet, he sent us to Ikea to pick up some extra drawers and filler panels and made a custom cabinet. He was meticulous and didn’t call the job over until the results met his high expectations. Because of our changes and additions, I expected the bill to be several hundred higher than the estimate, but he charged us less than a reasonable increase.
I would hire Joe again in a heartbeat. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who needs someone to build and install an Ikea kitchen (he does designs, too, if you need him to).
We are considering remodeling our bathrooms using Ikea kitchen cabinets (yes, I meant to say that) and will without question call on Joe.
You will not be disappointed!

If you need your Ikea kitchen installed, don’t do it yourself. Just hire Joe to do it. He knows a TON about Ikea kitchens and he will make it look perfect… in like record time?! :) And he’s WAY more reasonable than pretty much anyone else I talked to… and I’m pretty sure he does a better job than most Ikea installers out there! Super professional, amazing work… and just an all-​around good guy. If you want a perfect Ikea kitchen, hire Joe. Seriously. Do it. You will NOT be disappointed. We couldn’t be happier with our kitchen! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Thank you Joe!!! :)

If you are planning to install an IKEA kitchen but don’t want to do it yourself, look no further. Just have Joe do it for you. Unfortunately, we didn’t when the kitchen was originally installed — that bum did a crap job and left us with cabinets that weren’t level. Once we decided to replace our countertop, I knew we had to fix everything that the first guy botched. Fortunately, I found Joe, an ace IKEA installer with loads of experience, who came out to reset and level everything, fix a few aesthetic and design «issues» we had, and basically make sure our base cabinets were perfectly plumb for their new countertop. Like when you clean your glasses and then realize just how dirty they were, our «new» kitchen is showroom quality now! He was great to work with, from start to finish, and we were 100% comfortable with him working solo in our place. His prices were fair, he showed up right on time, and did it all with a smile. Joe’s a straight-​up good guy who genuinely cared about our place and the work he was doing.
