Longshot - IKEA kitchen remodeling?

[janegold]

Hi all! Does anyone still check this board?  We're getting ready to remodel our kitchen with IKEA cabinets.  Has anyone used a contractor they like in Boston (or the GBA)?  I particularly want to find someone who's experienced with IKEA.

I check this board multiple times a day, but have no recommendations. We're having a hard enough time finding a contractor to replace our deck

This likely won't help you at all, but my friends did their kitchen with IKEA (they live in Florida) and essentially bought all their cabinets and counters from IKEA, had IKEA send their own contractor in for the cabinets only (since they require a ton of assembly), and our friends hired separate subcontractors to do the counters and backsplash. Are you only doing cabinets? If you're doing more than just the cabinets, I would suggest hiring multiple people who specialize specifically in the other things you're doing.

We might end up having to go that route but I would ideally really like to find a kitchen remodeler that will act as a GC. I met with one such company today but am hoping to get a couple more quotes.
