Remodel Your Kitchen with IKEA and Save Money!

[@321amd123]

I finished entire kitchen remodel project last year. Your instructions and advice were the key to our success! Came back to say thank you so much!

[@JnkyrdStudios]

Jeff, you are honestly the greatest human on earth. Me and my wife just bought a house and I can’t even begin to explain to you the amount of confidence you have me to do my own renovations. All your videos are so clear and precise. Thank you man please never stop doing what you’re doing

[@watermeloncaviar5959]

I just started watching and lollwoing him today. Awesome work he does and the way he instructs and explains things are top class

[@ek8137]

Back in the day before the web this How To would have been at least $30 DVD or VHS tape sold as a series. Jeff thank you so much!!! 5 hours of free How to stuff from a contractor and no charge to me - Incredible

[@jaydrathbun]

I love Jeff - he handled making a mistake with the drawers so well, and leaves it in the video instead of cutting it around. This is what makes these videos so approachable. Those are mistakes I would make too, and I appreciate seeing someone else who does this so much make it too, and share the good, the bad, and the ugly

[@Justicefu]

I made the other mistake, the one he described, rather than showing. Where you attach the bottom draw face panel using the same screw holes as the other drawers and then realise it's sitting about 2cm too high when you slide the draw in lol. This guys channels cool, my builder told me to just go to Ikea for my kitchen cabinets and I've literally never bought anything from there cause I assumed it was cheap and nasty and I like real timber, but it's been great, super easy to return stuff, the online planning was useful ... it's actually great to be honest

[@riffmeisterkl]

I completed my laundry rebuild with ikea cabinets. Including removing the broom closet to create more space, retiling the floors, new plasterboard, painting and subway tile backsplash. Thanks for the tips!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

That is awesome!

I‘ve been implement your tips and tricks into my own DIY work. Basically I started a renovation company just by watching your contents. There are two men in my life that changes me , Confucius and you Jeff!! Gratitude from half way across the world.

[@daniellepashayan773]

i just finished my whole ikea kitchen using your videos. you are the literal greatest

[@wcg66]

We have an Ikea-based kitchen and we have been happy with it for over 10 years. I do find a lot of people look down their noses at Ikea and I'm glad you are positive about them. In our experience the labor for the install was relatively cheap compared to flooring, floor installation labor, granite countertop and new appliances.

[@Mrcool12684]

Jeff I truly think you try to take care of us (subs/viewers) and try to help us out (in Canadian oot)! Like the affiliates stuff, your trying to hook us up with good prices on stuff and that makes you the best youtube channel out there! Thanks man and I'm sure lots of peeps would agree, your awesome!

Hey Jeff! I LOVE this series!!! This is so helpful i’ve watched this 5 hour video so many times to prep for my kitchen. I really wish you had a video for upper wall cabinets me and my husband really struggled our ceiling it was so uneven and our house has 12” studs!!

[@MamoonBakeer]

I couldn't resist commenting: The first 10 minutes of watching and I find my self hooked to the video for the excellent level of detail presented. Five hours & 20 minutes to go. Thank you.

[@robertgiresi9515]

Hello fellow viewers. If you noticed, Jeff put in chapters and timestamps in the timeline... that is, if you hover over the timeline on the bottom of the video, you will see that he broke the entire video down into chapters. So there's no need to watch the entire 5.5 hour video from start to end. Just figure out which chapter is relevant and you can watch just that section only. Thanks Jeff for putting in chapters in the timeline!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Our pleasure. it makes this a better resource down the road!

[@annspires8380]

We installed an island at a farmhouse we bought. I did about 45" (which I didn't measure - I used the "that looks good method based on my size and how I needed the kitchen to function). Now I can have the dishwasher open and put dishes away in the island and still have 4-5" clearances without them touching. I like it :)

[@ScottStephenSmith]

I got through the bottom cabinet stuff thinking "ah what a great video" and then I realized I had 4 hours left and was like WHAT!? This truly is A to Z. Thank you so much.

[@scottferguson527]

I ran into same issue with new dishwasher in a 30 year old ikea kitchen with floor tile installed after the fact. Had the big gap at the top of the DW, so I just installed 2x4 runners with fronts mitered like a ramp. So then the gaps at the bottom which was covered by the adjustable skirting covers. Anchored the DW top and sides. Works like a charm.

[@EM-fi2qg]

Is this a sign? My customer wants a new kitchen and is on a very tight budget. I might actually ask them to consider these style cabinets. Thanks for posting this. 👍

The mysteries of IKEA solved in one video! Great job and epic video. Now if I can just get my Sektion cabinet frames that are on indefinite back order due to the pandemic rush. I'm thinking of just building my own cabinet carcasses and putting the IKEA drawers, doors and fronts that have been sitting in my garage for 3 months on them.

[@michaelkuzmin]

Wow fantastic timing. My brother and I have been following you since we started to do renos a few years ago. And we are just about to finish a house, and the last part is we are going to rebuild the kitchen and we just bought all of the ikea items we need and planning to install soon.

[@HaDealio]

U have to appreciate the amount of work to even edit this video. Thank you!

[@ilovetacos210]

I didn't even watch the video, I just know I've done a couple of Ikea kitchens and multiple renovations with other products. It's a relief doing it with Ikea, the products are generally better quality, less expensive, and a HECK of a lot more DIY friendly. It's much easier to achieve professional looking results even when you're not a professional.

[@sinhalo]

My wife and I would love to meet Jeff in Vegas like he has talked about in some videos! Thank you so much fo all you do!!

[@jennifernebraska9728]

Here in the US midwest, Menards lumber has a similar line of cabinets. They studied at IKEA to make their cabinets. They go up very similar. Grandmother here who needed my husband only for lifting muscle when I built my new kitchen.

You're the king of renos my friend! I learned so much from your videos. You're always my go to reference before starting any project! Thanks!!

[@HFreeman66]

Loved this. I was curious about IKEA kitchen cabinets. I was afraid the quality may not be good. Jeff made me feel safe getting the kitchen I have been eyeing for over 2 years! Plus, he was loving his "sexy" new kitchen! I have learned soooo much. And it has given me the confidence to buy my own power tools (I am the wife..hubby not too interested) , and try things. I've redone a bedroom and it gave me confidence. I will be buying the flooring he recommends for a bedroom with old vinyl planks and the laundry room and the entry with marble tile with not my favorite.

[@poshko41]

I appreciate this video and this channel. Your videos are second to none in the detail provided on how to get jobs done RIGHT. That said, as easy as you've described this installation to be, I promise I would somehow screw it up.

[@cattaraugustonawanda4426]

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST home improvement videos !

[@gbosey1449]

I had a kitchen remodel as part of a large combination living/family, dining room open space that was all stripped down to the sub floor but I hadn't decided on the floor product yet. The kitchen cabinetry was installed on the sub floor as he did because it had to be in place for the countertop installation. Later I settled on an engineered wood flooring but that added almost 1/2" around the cabinet bases - no problem there. Luckily the fridge barely slid in with almost zero clearance from the upper cabinet - but the problem came that the dishwasher wouldn't fit under the counter with the wood floor in place so had to be positioned on the sub floor. This created a substantial lip in front that made it difficult to slide the unit in and out for servicing and didn't look particularly good under close scrutiny - I just had to live with it. BTW: Instead of just closing it off, I'd adapt that 4" space on the end for storage of large baking sheets or serving trays.

[@kathyfann]

Around a stove hot Pots can be transferred that’s why Granite is used next to cooking surfaces I just purchased a fixer home and the Formica nest to the stove has on both sides has pot burn marks just FYI. You might go with Maple Butcher block or even Granite tiles just a suggestion

Thank you! finally somebody that recognizes IKEA's merits in terms of style, easy installation and price. I've always used Ikea for my home (wherever that was) and it has always looked stylish and durable and plain clean cut. TV's been using Ikea like a joke for years (Idk why) but as you said, many of us can't afford thousands of $ for a kitchen. And it's recyclable.

[@VanClaaude]

Fantastic tutorial! No surprise there, since all your videos are very insightful. Would it be possible to make a video about wall cabinets, including installation of a crown molding and a cover strip to hide the lights? Great watching. Thanks for sharing.

[@jonpatterson5223]

I have been watching many of your videos as I am renovating my entire childhood home (Lifelong Dream!), normally I notice that you usually level the floor with some type of agent. Is there a reason aside from economy that you chose not to do it? It makes sense with your cabinetry but could it effect the way the floor puddles or drains? Your videos are Ehmazing ;) the community you have helped grow has taught me more than you know! Thank you for your information!

[@cesarpegado69]

As always great and useful content, just a recommendation when it comes to your electrical work. Always use sleeving for your CPC (Earth Wire)and when you pushed in your white cable, which I'm assuming is your neutral, there was copper showing which shouldn't be showing outside the wago (push fit connector).

[@A65impalass]

Love how the kitchen turned out. My wife and I watched your video and she loved the look with no upper cabinets. I'm not going to lie, we're going to copy a lot of what you did. The colors and layout looks great and for us will tie into the rest of our house.

[@Firefly_Nino]

This was perfect, just finished watching the entire video, you're quite entertaining, so wasn't boring at all. Even put you on 1.25x speed at times for parts that i'm already familiar with. Either way, just wanted to comment that this was really informative and will surely help me ALOT building my kitchen that's arriving next week. So thank you!

Very informative, entertaining, and great looking result, Jeff! Thank you! One point, though. It appears you have created a deprecated "S" trap (not code in the US, anyway). You should install a Studor valve at the top of the vertical riser and T into the vertical riser with the sink drain. Yes? Best wishes.

[@niroshwaduge3661]

Greatness as always. One thing I would say with Ikea cabinets, you forgot to include the part where putting in the filler pieces between and end of cabinets. I've seen many first timers mess up that part.

[@michelrail]

I have built many Ikea cabinets. I use carpenter's glue for the wood dowels and I have a set of hex bits for my drill which I set the clutch from 1 to maximum 5. Give yourself a break. I have 2 plastic folding tables. I tape a piece of clean cardboard on the tables and that's where I do the assembly. It's so easy to damage your cabinet working off the floor. It's also not very comfortable. It will take you 10 minutes to set all this up. It's well worth it. The new instruction booklets are well done. They are all visual. No more bad translation from Swedish to Chinese to Japanese to Spanish to English. 🤣😉

i just installed about 1800 sq feet of a very similar flooring. My only complaint is how easily the edge t&g would break off when i tapped on it with a rubber mallet. so i ended up getting a flooring block to hammer against. work amazing. i wish i had seen this first through because i didnt know about the score and snap. i did all my cuts with a jug saw (eye roll) i could have saved at least 2 hours with all the cuts.

[@guntherthegoat1756]

just gotta say as a plumber. your dishwasher installation get a 2 out of 10 rating. You installed it 2-3" to low needed raised up. You put the toe kick on before you ran it and can't see if you have a leak on the water supply. You also did not plumb the machine left to right, you can tell the reveal on the right side grows as you run your eyes down the machine. (Could be the cabinets...but you installed those too.) all in all, great job! I'm just a picky plumber lol. Also, always silicone your basket strainers, plumbers puddy is junk. And that foam gasket will be leaking in a week. Your professional homeowner water supply lines (the pex) come up in the cabinet backwards. Hot is on the left. Also using your channel locks backwards tightening the strainer.
