We have been in business for over 20 years. It's experience you can trust. We have more years of experience with IKEA kitchen installations than anyone else in North America dating back to 1991. We have worked through three earlier IKEA kitchen cabinet changes since 1991. Whether you are working with Ikea's previous kitchen lines (System 210, Faktum, and/or Akurum) or their new line Sektion, it does not matter to us.
We also have plenty of experience with custom door manufacturers if you plan to change your door fronts to something other than IKEA's main door styles. We serve all of Philadelphia and its surrounding areas, from Trenton to New Castle, from Allentown to the Jersey Shore and everywhere in between. Everyone has had a bad experience or two with a contractor, but you don't have to worry about that when you hire us to do the job.

John Mitchell renovated our kitchen and did an amazing job. He was not only extremely professional, and reliable/on time, but he showed he could do it all, and with great ingenuity. John installed our new Ikea kitchen, including the cabinets, appliances, tile backsplash, and lighting, and even created customized Ikea cabinets to size when the exact ones we wanted were not available. John was able to offer design advice where needed, and demonstrated tremendous attention to detail. He even finished a few days early. My husband and I were so pleased with the results and the quality of the workmanship

John and his crew renovated our home in late 2019 and truly did an excellent job. He provided outstanding craftsmanship/value, stuck to the outlined budget, and made excellent suggestions. John really worked with us to get exactly what we wanted. We've been living in our newly renovated home for about 6 months now and my wife and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend Mitchell Renovations to anyone wanting a quality outcome for their home renovation.

Mitchell Renovations did an absolutely masterful job renovating the kitchen and powder room of our 140-year-old historic Philadelphia rowhouse. We sought them out initially because there is literally no other contractor with more experience and expertise installing IKEA cabinets than John Mitchell. Not only did they install the IKEA components perfectly, they handled every aspect of the renovation flawlessly. The carpentry, insulation, electrical, plumbing--all done expertly, passing every inspection with flying colors. John always took the time to answer every one of our questions thoroughly.

We hired John from Mitchell Renovations because I wanted an IKEA kitchen and John specialized in IKEA kitchens. This was a 2 month project for John took a wall down, rearranged appliances, and did the dining room and powder room, both with IKEA cabinets. He also did our bamboo flooring on the whole first floor of living room, kitchen, dining room and powder room. And he did all of the baseboards, window and door trims. He is a wonderful carpenter and contractor.
He was very organized and respectful of our home. After IKEA delivered all of the boxes, John had everything in order and organized like

John Mitchell provided us with measuring and design services for two kitchen layouts. He then completely renovated our 9’ by 15’ kitchen in our hundred-year-old Philadelphia row home. The previous kitchen was carefully demolished and cleanly removed. New floor underlayment was laid and a short wall was built out to square off the room around a load-bearing chimney. The sink was relocated to another wall and all new electrical, lights and plumbing for a dishwasher was added. Floor tile, IKEA cabinets, granite counters and glass tile backsplash were all installed. This entire

We love our new kitchen!! John was extremely helpful throughout the entire process of renovating our kitchen with IKEA cabinets. John was very professional and detailed beginning with the estimate, which made us more comfortable during the stressful process. John provided suggestions as the job went on and the kitchen turned out even better than we expected. John took care of everything including demolition of a wall, electric, plumbing, tiling, reworking an AC duct, and building/installing the IKEA cabinets. The work area was kept very clean and organized. John was easy to get a hold of during

We had a very positive experience with Mitchell Renovations. We had a complete kitchen renovation and are very happy with John's work. He was thorough, professional and kept the work zone clean and organized. We have a young child and John was very considerate of her; often he was able to adjust what he was working on as to not interrupt our schedule as much. It's clear he has a lot of experience and I appreciated his judgment. The quality of the work has been excellent and John has followed up multiple times to ensure we weren't having any issues. The timeline for the work took two more weeks

We were so lucky to find John Mitchell. We renovated a kitchen long distance and things couldn’t have gone smoother. John’s wife, Sarah, is a designer and we began with her exploring possible layouts. She helped us to squeeze out every last inch of space and had some creative solutions to deal with space constraints. We wanted to install an Ikea kitchen, and selected John largely because of his years of experience installing kitchens for Ikea, and we got so much more. John is detail oriented and thorough. He was great in communicating, keeping me in the loop and sending pictures often. He’s
