Have you asked at your local IKEA? They should have a list of installers. Yes, I know they're meant to be done DIY (Do It Yourself), but I think they also maintain a list of installers.

One note, if you cannot do the assembly and installation yourself, it may end up costing you just as much, if not more, as other cabinets. IKEA is has limited options for sinks, corner cabinets, cabinet sizes, etc., so if you are planning to have the work done by someone else, I would look into other cabinet options as well.

Not anymore.. Now Traemand, a flat-pack assembly company, has the national contract for all ikea stores. So if you go that route, it's the luck of the draw. Some are fabulous at understanding kitchens, some just know how to screw cams together.

Too Good To Be True? Northern Virginia
Q

Well, it may have been "too good to be true" after all. The dealer that quoted the great price also has among the worst ratings in Washington Consumer Checkbook, along with numerous BBB complaints, and complaints with Fairfax County Consumer Division. Yet, this dealer has a "presidential award" from CARRIER. When I inquired with CARRIER as to what a dealer needs to do to earn such an "award", the response was "This annual award is designed to encourage self-analysis andreward individuals who have excelled in customer relations". Excelled in customer relations? They have to be kidding! When I inquired further as to whether CARRIER would stand behind the work of the dealer, the short reply was "no". Obviously, this is not the response I was looking for. it seems that CARRIER may be more focused on pushing hvac equipment out the door and not on customer service.

Reasonable HVAC for small condo in Northern Virginia
Q

Yes, I meant 90% high efficiency furnaces not btu. oops, big difference. The OP states she lives in Northern Virginia, as do I. I checked the final versions and Virginia falls in the 80% recommended AFUE efficiency for both heat and air conditioning. Check page 60 on link below, look at small ** which lists southern states. It's only 2012, so 80% efficiency is ok now, and I guess I'm reading in VA will be for a bit. Wonder what the price difference is between weatherized HVAC units (typically fit for weather or outdoors) and non-weatherized units (like most have inside their house/garage/crawl. Still, my question is: don't 90% efficient furnaces require PVC direct to outside? How is every homeowner possibly going to be able to comply with that (northern states are listed on page 60 as *)? And who says an 80% two stage system is less efficient than a 90% single stage anyway? OP-please let me know if you'd like names of the local HVAC companies I have used. Here is a link that might be useful: final version dept of energy new HVAC regs

Ikea installers in Northern Virginia?

""Home Perfection doesn't go out as far as Reston." Sure they do. You just haven't made it clear to them it's worth their while." I totally expect to pay something that turns a profit for the contractor, (why would they take the job otherwise?) but I'd rather try to find someone who would work in my area rather than paying a premium JUST because I'm not in their normal service range (and I respect that a contractor prefers to stay within a specific range--that's their choice). Has anyone in the Reston/Herndon/Sterling area used a contractor to install an Ikea kitchen? Or have you found one you liked who took care of more complicated issues like putting up drywall or plumbing and electrical while you did the Ikea install yourself? I'll be in this townhouse for awhile, so I'm more worried about quality work than price.

Just signed a contact with NVBlu with what is hoping to be quick excavation and install effort as I only have access through my backyard for a short time. the land owner adjacent to my house has approved access for a small period of time before they start a larger community development initiative. Should I not be expecting some type of implementation plan and schedule from NVBlu? So far it has been only side references to total install time? They said excavation should star end of this week or next week.

@Buehl - We Want SW Back Unconditionally - Did you find someone you were happy with? I'm in DC and looking for someone right now. I may go with Traemand directly through IKEA but I'd really like to know a contractor that "someone" has an experience with. Thanks!!

We are in the middle of a Traemand installation, and the guys know what they are doing. Seriously, our contractor may be skillful, but these people are specialists. The regional manager stopped by yesterday and checked in to audit the installation. We are in the Philadelphia area, but he is based in NC, so probably covers your area. We'll be sinished on Monday, just a few odds and end to do. We are impressed.

@sushipup1 Thank you so much for the comment. I’m thrilled to hear it. Can you share their names? From what I understand, It’s luck of the draw unless you known someone to request. Thanks!
