About
My years of experience as an installer is what I believe separates me from most other IKEA kitchen designers and planners because I know every aspect of the process, from the beginning step of planning to the final step of installation. I pride myself on making sure the client is fully satisfied with the planning process, which includes detailed measurements, 3D renderings, very descriptive plans with specific installation notes, and assurance that all the correct parts are ordered. I take the same approach during installation and hope to exceed expectations. Seeing and hearing about a clients finished kitchen. I love being a part of transforming an old kitchen into a new one and hearing how happy my client is with it. The kitchen is one of the main focal points of any house and a very personal space, so I know how important it is to my clients to be extremely satisfied.

Hired on Thumbtack

We were in the midst of a remodel and our contractor had no experience with Ikea kitchens but decided to try and did the job but not to our satisfaction with gaps between the cabinets and he couldn't figure out how to install the trash pullout. I googled Ikea installers in my area and found Kristiaan on "thumbtack" which is a new site to me. I contacted Kristiaan with various questions and proceeded to request references. He was prompt in answering questions and providing information. We asked him to come to the house to assess the situation. Upon meeting Kristiaan, he has a very pleasant disposition and as he analyzed things we were confident in the quality of his professionalism and expertise. Kristiaan expertly proceeded to correct the problems with our installation. He spent 2 1/2 hours to get it just right. Me and my perfectionist husband are beyond satisfied with the result. We wholeheartedly recommend Kristiaan and we are happy to have made this connection.

I was referred to Kristiaan by a builder (Joe Runkle) to whom I was referred by a friend. When I contacted Kristiaan, I was very impressed by how fast he got back to me. We set up an appointment and he came to my townhome and did his measurements and talked to me about what I would like in my kitchen and my taste. I explained to him what I like and didn't like and he did his work. He left and then got back to me via email and sent me 3D configurations of my kitchen via the IKEA design planner. He also had a list of items that I needed to buy from IKEA and the prices, quantity, etc. The best part is this...After I bought all the stuff at IKEA and the builder started my kitchen, I found out I needed additional items. I contacted Kristiaan via email and asked him for part numbers and other information and he, without hesitation, got back to me immediately and I was able to get my items. This meant a lot to me because he easily could have said that he was done with his work on my end but he was gracious and very helpful as I needed a few additional items. Kristiaan's work was top notch but his quality of service towards me was even better than top notch, if that is possible. I will definitely use Kristiaan again if the need arises and will definitely give my friends his information.

I just had an office kitchen designed and installed by Kristiaan- he did an amazing job on every level. He finished on time, on budget and was professional, friendly and wonderful to work with. Now my office has a great kitchen that he did for us & I HIGHLY recommend any of his services.

I had a brand new kitchen to design and install. I contacted Kristiaan per recommendation from a friend. Kristiaan was very professional. He provided the design over a day or two. As I was not sure what cabinets to order, he provided input regarding a couple of options. He sent me the list of cabinets to order from Ikea for both options. Kristiaan was very creative in his design and managed to use every inch of space to create useful storage areas. As he was fully booked and I had a deadline to meet, he volunteered to work during the weekend and completed the installation in one weekend. So it only took 10 days to design and install a brand new kitchen. The kitchen looked fantastic. I have received many compliments regarding the design and installation. Kristiaan is very professional, always on time, and is very nice to work with. I am looking forward to working with him again in Spring on another kitchen.

Kristiann helped design and install our IKEA kitchen last June 2013. Prompt, courteous service is what sets him apart from others I have worked with. Very quick to communicate back when I had questions about the process. Highly recommended.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    In 2001 I started as a helper for the Certified IKEA Contractor in San Diego and because of my previous construction experience, I picked up the installations quickly. I became a lead installer within 3 months. In 2006, I decided to bring my experience as an installer to the design and planning side. I realized that there weren't any designers out there with installation experience. That's where I carved out my niche.
