I recently used Masters of Assembly to install my Ikea kitchen, and I'm very satisfied with the results!
I used IKEA's measuring and planning services because it was easy to bundle and sign up for initially, but the quote the company gave me for installation seemed on the higher side so I decided to shop around.
MoA has great reviews, so I contacted them via their website. They got back to me fairly quickly with a quote that was about half the price of the initial one I had gotten from the other company. They estimated the job would take 2-3 days, so I booked them.
The only part I think they can improve on is the initial explanation of how the project will start, booking, etc. There was some miscommunication about who would purchase, pick up hardware, and something else-- but honestly it was easy to clear up and the process was straightforward once the team got here.
I was worried that because their bid was lower than a few competitors and it was for a 2-3 day timeframe they would rush the project. Absolutely didn't need to worry about that. Their manager at the office was in touch with me throughout installation and the guys on the team (Mark, Sergei, and Alexei) were incredibly hardworking, polite, and exacting in the installation. I can't believe how PERFECT and measured everything looks and feels-- even the way the doors are spaced and the alignment of the handles, etc -- and we have older uneven Brooklyn floors they had to deal with. But even when the project took a day or two longer than anticipated, the guys kept their high standards and didn't slap dash any of it. There were no surprise costs or purchasing/decisions made without our prior approval. I never felt like I was getting shortchanged or being bullied into a decision, be it design or billing related.
I would recommend this company to anyone in need of straightforward installation that doesn't require electric or plumbing work from the same company. My Ikea kitchen feels like a six figure project that was achieved for less than 5 figures.
I should also note that we dealt with junk removal separately but mostly Bc we wanted to do it in a separate timeline. We also handled some of the cleanup post-installation (sweeping, mopping, etc) but they did a wipedown and broke down boxes as well. I didn't mind an hour of me tidying in order to save a few thousand bucks! read more
