“I see clients go over budget on appliances and underinvest in ventilation. In LA, you're cooking year-round. A proper range hood that actually vents to the exterior isn't optional — it prevents moisture damage, odor, and mold issues that cost far more to fix later. Spend the $800 on the right hood.”
Pull your kitchen permit BEFORE doing any demolition. Unpermitted demo that exposes electrical or plumbing creates a compliance issue at inspection. The permit is cheap insurance; the retroactive permit and remediation is not.

An IKEA kitchen costs $15,000-$30,000 fully installed in LA, while a custom kitchen runs $60,000-$200,000+. IKEA works for budget refreshes and rentals.

Kitchen Remodeling Portfolio
A fully installed IKEA kitchen in LA costs $15,000-$30,000 including cabinets ($3K-8K), countertops ($2K-6K), installation labor ($4K-8K), appliances ($3K-8K), and permits/electrical/plumbing ($2K-5K). The cabinet cost is only 20-30% of the total.
In homes under $800K, an IKEA kitchen is neutral to slightly positive for resale. In homes over $1M in LA, IKEA cabinets can hurt resale by $20K-50K versus custom cabinetry. LA luxury buyers expect solid wood, soft-close, and custom sizing.
IKEA SEKTION cabinets last 10-15 years with normal use. The particleboard boxes are vulnerable to water damage. Custom solid wood or plywood cabinets last 25-40 years. In LA's dry climate, moisture damage is less common than in humid regions.
Yes. Companies like Semihandmade and Reform make custom doors that fit IKEA SEKTION boxes. This hybrid approach costs $25,000-$45,000 installed, giving a custom look at 40-50% savings over fully custom cabinetry.
Yes for LA installations. IKEA assembly is DIY-friendly but plumbing, electrical, and gas connections require licensed contractors and LADBS permits. Professional IKEA kitchen installation in LA costs $4,000-$8,000 for labor alone.
