IKEA Kitchen Remodeler Serving Southern California

Your kitchen is the hardest-working room in your house, and if it's stuck in a previous decade, you feel it every single day.

Joe Runkle Construction is an IKEA kitchen remodeling specialist with over 15 years of experience designing, demolishing, and installing IKEA kitchens across San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs. Unlike the stores that send a rotating crew of conrtractors, Joe is on-site personally for every phase of your project, from the first measurement to the last cabinet door adjustment.

IKEA cabinetry gives you a modern, fully customizable kitchen at a fraction of the cost of traditional custom cabinets — but only if it's designed and installed correctly. That's where we come in. Fair pricing, no surprises, and a kitchen you'll love walking into every morning.

A great IKEA kitchen starts long before the first box arrives. It starts with a smart design.

With your layout planned around how you actually cook and live — where the coffee happens, where the kids do homework, where the groceries land, we build out your new kitchen with IKEA's SEKTION system, using the right cabinet sizes, drawer configurations, and fillers so every inch of your kitchen earns its keep.

This is where IKEA kitchens and attention to detail go hand in hand.  Getting multiple cabinets level, square, anchored, and perfectly aligned across a real-world kitchen with imperfect walls takes experience.

We assemble and install every cabinet starting at $75 per cabinet, with straightforward pricing you can calculate before we start. Doors aligned, drawers gliding, hardware dialed in. When your space calls for it, we handle custom modifications — trimmed panels, corner solutions, appliance integrations — that turn a modular system into a built-in look.

Homeowners from San Diego to Palm Springs call us after watching one too many DIY horror stories. Do it once, do it right.
