Possibly moving in to a new house. It's a barebone unit so I need to do extensive renovation. For kitchen, I previously had a local contractor but the experience has been pretty disappointing. Scratches like mad, laminate peeling, cabinets not shutting flush.

On my second property, I opted for Ikea. The experience was much straight forward and everything was itemized nicely. Spent a day to submit design, spent another day for their contractor to install. Done in 2 days, very painless. Rust marks on their stainless steel panels? A few calls and they sent someone to replace them. No problems at all for the rest, long lasting.

So this new property, I'm wondering if I should again opt for Ikea. I've been told that outside contractors are cheaper but are they really that much cheaper? And is there any renovation companies that provides 25 years warranty?

Did you get Ikea to come to take measurement or you did it yourself? I was quoted roughly 15 to 20k for the wet and dry ktichen. BTW Ikea may claim 25 years warranty, but if you read the terms to it, pretty much hard to claim since they don't cover wear and tear.

For my new house I am waiting for ID quotation and also maybe will go for Classic aluminum one. Also Ikea is under considering if everyone quotes me above 20k.
