I got a quote from Sherr's for custom Ikea doors. I had an L-shaped kitchen plan, lowers only, all drawers, that was 14' on the sink side and 8' on the shorter side of the L (minus a 36" stove). Total price was around $2400 for flat panel, grain-matched walnut. The price for each drawer ranged from about $30 to $95. I had some end panels in the quote for an island, I think around $200.

Ship date was estimated to be about 6 weeks from date of order.

Hope that helps.

I got some Scherr's doors and drawer fronts (also for IKEA boxes) for a bathroom project last year.

They were for a 39-inch tall, 24-inch wide upper (with two doors) and a three drawer lower. The faces were walnut veneer in a slab style. The total cost for the two doors and three drawer fronts was about $300. I got them unfinished and it took about 2 1/2 weeks to receive the doors/drawers. If I had gotten them finished with a clear coat it would have taken 4-5 weeks, I was told.

Thanks so much for your replies. That has helped a lot. I have a seller with a good kitchen except for the cabinet doors. The boxes are solid oak as well as the inside shelving, and the appliances, floor, window treatments, backsplash, etc have all been updated. The doors have been holding it back and making it look much more outdated than it is. It is in a higher price range, so buyers expect better. He has agreed to see what the quote comes in at and to probably get the new doors rather than lower his price by an equal amount...
If anyone knows of any similar companies, I'd love to gather some names so we can compare prices and speed. It would be great to have a fast turnaround.
Thanks again!

Shelayne used Advantage, I think, and vsalz used cabinetnow.com, if you want to see some GW kitchens with examples.

No answers to your questions, but wanted to say hi. Someone started a thread last week (?) about not seeing you lately. I hadn't either and was wondering how you were doing. We were hoping your absence meant you were busy getting resolution and fixes for all your reno nightmare issues. :)

Hi Breezy and all,
We are closer to getting resolution on our many problems and are waiting through the time period the g.c. has to respond to Consumer Affairs. We should be hearing something late next week or the beginning of the following week. I have been busier than before with work, the boys have baseball playoffs and I just got out of the habit of checking the forums for quite a few weeks now.
In the meantime, we may be getting solar for our electric due to all the incentives out there since we seem to have a good shot of recovering the costs to fix up the renovation. The paperwork I had to fill out for Consumer Affairs was extensive (think of a term paper plus photos to get the idea). We had been putting aside money in case we did not recover and have been fixing a few smaller items. The guy at Consumer Affairs says we should recover most if not all of what is needed to fix and finish our job.
One recent thing was that in order to get a new screen door to replace the sinking Titanic-like one we had due to the poor installation, they had to rip apart the doorway and install a different door. Sad that it took such a tear apart to a 1 year old doorway, but the old size and finish work was all wrong. I was so thrilled to see the new doorway looking... er.. new! The one they made last year looked like it was gerymandered and was not professional or neat at all. It cost almost $1k to do, but it needed doing and not getting chewed by mosquitoes is heavenly.

We have also been working on picking out a new kitchen floor and may be settled on Bio Spec sheet flooring by Mannington. It is a commercial product, often used in hospitals and operating rooms, hence the name. We would have 2 seams and I think we have worked out how to style it with color changes to get around having a noticeable in-a-bad-way seam in each spot. I have a floor specialist helping me this time, who assures me that her installer is top notch. I have not found out the cost yet, but it can't be much more than the Marmoleum had been and it will be a smaller area this time since we have the mahogany for the den and won't have it match this time. It is sad because the love the look and idea of our current floor, but it is structurally ruined so it is time to move on.

I have also been working a ton in the garden because that went south last year due to working on the house and the renovation aftermath. It is looking passable now, lol. We joke that we have a weed garden, but not the fun kind ;) I hate gardening, but it looking shabby is not fair to the neighbors, so I just had to buckle down and attend to it. I am constantly amazed at how many hours that sucks up.

I have also painted some more items that needed doing (non-sheetrock) such as a support column and the last coat on the radiator covers. I had gotten pretty burned out with paint last year, esp since much of it is now damaged with nail pops and from the 4 roof leaks, tape fails, cracks, etc....
We were advised not to fix the roof until after the town inspector comes, so that is going to happen by the end of the month. We actually had some pieces of sheetrock on the ground by our front door the other day when it rained, so we are past due on that.
The solar guys took pictures on our roof today and I will be adding those to the complaint. I had taken interior shots of the damage before, but now I will have those from above. He says they are quite obvious when standing on the roof, so we shall see once he forwards them to me.

As for my client with the nice kitchen and ugly cab doors... in the meantime, his older style large screen not-flat tv died and when he removed it from the den he saw that the heat from it cooked the wallpaper, so that is coming down (Yay!)and he will put up new sheetrock. While he is at it, he will remove the cedar planking that was on one wall (also, Yay!). When they moved the tv out and moved some stuff around, the cherry den floor started to buckle and by the end of the day, it was obvious it could not be fixed. It was a 5 year old floor installed with a special glue and was supposed to be bulletproof. The owner was skeptical, but they swore at the store that he could put wood on a slab floor if they used the right glue (i.e. $200 a bucket x 2) but they were dead wrong. So a new floor will be going in too.
He had also agreed to remove some wallpaper borders and install crown moldings to modernize the look some in the foyer and upstairs hallway. So, with all this work on his hands (a retired contractor with a contractor son) the cab doors issue is on hold for a few days. He is out of town for another day or 2 fishing, so I will get him back in focus when he returns. I think the new doors would turn a negative into a positive. It may not become a magazine worthy kitchen, but since the size, layout, appliances, floor, windows, and bs are all really good, and the current cab doors are ugly, it will move it from an overall 4 to a 7-8.

Thanks for the good thoughts about our hopefully soon resolution. It will mean the start of phase 2, with all the chaos and upheaval that will bring, but at least it will finally be nice all around. You can't imagine how much we appreciate the new screen door and doorway. I may even be allowed to hook up my stove finally! The last time I had a stove to cook on at home was 12/10/2010! I have gotten an electric tea kettle and a 5 in 1 cooker (great for pasta and rice) recently, so it has gotten better, but I should not need an army of kitchen electrics to cover for not having a working stove in a new kitchen, esp after what we have paid for it!
Once we are back to renovating (shudder) I know I will be here frequently again. I just needed some time to be working on other projects and not stressing over our not done house for a while. We feel like we moved forward on some small stuff and are about to leap forward on the rest very soon. It was tough feeling so stuck for a while.

Hey there, if you're still thinking about cabinet doors for your client, I don't have experience with Scherr's but have ordered from Cimino's a couple of times (not sure where you are; I'm in Calif.) for our old house. Good quality and I think they arrive in about two weeks; they ship wherever. My BIL is a custom cabinetmaker here in SJ and I know he orders doors from them unless customers want something very specific or intricate.

I just priced them for my current kitchen and IIRC slab was $12.99/sf for paint grade alder. I believe they round up to the next SF if your square footage is not exact. I also priced a slightly dressed-up Shaker-style (I think mitered vs. cope-and-stick) and I think it was $14.99/sf. There was a small applied moulding around the inset panel.

You can order directly from them as well. No online ordering -- you have to download the form and then fax/email/mail back to them.

Here is a link that might be useful: Cimino's doors

Look into Walzcraft: and with the cost savings has the person evaluated upgrading to a different wood species like quartersawn or select quartersawn or mahogany? I personally would move away from the standard oak door if I were ordering from these companies. You could have them stained and finished locally-to whatever color is desired. Barkers has a nice furniture grade finish avail for not a huge amt extra.

Not to hijack this, but when I read "solar" my ears perk up.

After a fire, we took the 1st insurance payment and a loan to put the new roof on (I've since had to have redone -- my STBX must be related to your GC.) and 32 solar panels and a solar water system. I produce 5.6 kilowatts. My system is huge but we knew we'd never be able to afford it again, so we did as much as we possibly could.

At first, when my STBX and I split, I bemoaned the $55K it took in 2006 to do.
Then, my meter started running backwards every time there was sun. (Netmetering)
Then, I got $13K in incentives back from the state. (That's how I got HVAC in the house.)
THEN I became the first, registered and licensed residential solar power plant in Maryland. I sell my RECs every year for $1500 to $2000. This might be your brush with solar notoriety! My RECs cover my total, yearly electric bill. I haven't paid anything since November of 2011 as a matter of fact.

Everything in my house is electric. I thought the solar water was superfluous, but then I remembered it takes ZERO energy to heat my water. That's the biggest expense for a family of four, and I'm only 1 doing everything in cold water -- except showering, a'course.

So all the energy I produce goes back thru netmetering as a credit on my bill. In the winter it's higher, maybe $100. In the summer, in July for example, it's $15 or so. Averaging is the key! :)

IOW -- go for it! :)

I'll add my encouragement to carry through on with the solar. It's amazingly satisfying to have it. We are on our way to the needed 14KW to completely meet our annual usage. I get more satisfaction out of the solar panels than anything I've ever bought for the house and farm before. I'm embarassed to say how many times a day I check our production displays to see how much energy those puppies are cranking out.

Alas, we have no marketable RECs here, but each state has a system of incentives, and there's the Federal 30% tax credit on top of it all.

You'll love it!
