We are so so happy with our kitchen remodel after the help of Royal Installations. Russ' workmanship is stellar & his ability to create awesome custom elements took this from an IKEA kitchen to a one-of-a-kind space. He helped us keep costs down with IKEA bases & fronts, but built-in custom panels, shelving & seating that made our kitchen reno moodboard a reality. Thank you, thank you!!

I booked Russ for my kitchen install, and seriously regret that decision. His timing and communication failings pushed my project back by weeks, and affected my entire remodel as a result. Though his rate was slightly cheaper than another quote I received, the stress and logistical fallout from his irresponsibility cost me much more. He was defensive and deflecting in his handling of the situation, and it affected the timeline for my whole house. Don't take the risk.

Agree with all the 5 star reviews here. Russ is truly great all around: Responsive, on time, efficient, and honest. In regard to my job, I had to have all my cabinet fronts replaced due to a manufacturer issue. Russ was great in terms of working me into his schedule, got the job done in the time he originally indicated, and was just generally great to work with. Further, he DEFINITELY know his ways around cabinetry and went above / beyond to fix some minor issues that the original installer left.

WOW! We hired Russ to change out our old IKEA cabinet fronts in our kitchen, assemble a new cabinet and install and secure living room cabinets. He did an incredible job, you won’t be disappointed. He answered my quote inquiry on a Sunday and his rates are very reasonable. I asked him to call me so we could speak and he did so right away. We got on schedule, he communicated clearly what his job was and what we needed to do to get ready. He arrived on time, prepared and ready to work. He wore a mask, covered everything up nicely and got to work. He cleaned up afterwards and was truly such a delightful

Russ did an amazing job with our kitchen cabinets. He assembled, installed, and put finishing touches on our Ikea cabinet boxes with Semihandmade doors. He knows these products like the back of his hand. He is a perfectionist with an eye for detail. He sets a work schedule and sticks to it. At the end of each day he organizes and cleans up. He is clean, organized, and very considerate, to minimize disruption to the household while he works. At job conclusion, Russ even taught me how to adjust the cabinet hinges so that I can keep everything fine tuned myself. Russ and Royal were a pleasure to work

The best thing my designer ever did was insist that I use Russ with Royal Installations! There was absolutely nothing easy about my kitchen build- every box had to be cut down and modified- and Russ made everything look absolutely impeccable! He's professional, a perfectionist, and most importantly did an amazing job on my build. I'm soooo grateful!!!!

I am one that likes to be on time and Russ did not disappoint....he was right there when he said he would be.
Also , I am little OCD , and Russ brought blankets to protect our kitchen floor.
We hired Russ to level cabinets and install a few more IKEA cabinets , and his workmanship is top notch .
We had a cabinet that was the wrong size and made it too size
So , I would recommend Russ in a heartbeat .

My experience in a nutshell: over promise, underdeliver. Had to finish the install myself and fix his mistakes along the way.
I was remodeling my entire unit and hired Russell to install the IKEA cabinets in my small kitchen. Things started great, Russell was kind enough to waive the design fee because I had the basics planned out already. Installation was another story - there were constant delays from day one, and many issues that I had to fix myself because he won't show up... Misalignments, missing trim pieces, didn't even have enough clearance for my standard 30'' stove, and the two cabinets

I got several quotes for my kitchen cabinet installation and I'm so glad I chose Russ at Royal Installations . His quote was very reasonable and he was communicative and reliable. Beyond that, he did a superb job installing our kitchen cabinets, which is no easy feat in our old crooked house. The first time I had an IKEA kitchen installed, I did not use an expert and learned my lesson. Save yourself the time and headache and just get Royal Installations to do it for you. I wish I had heeded that advice the first time. Thank you Russ! You are a pro!

Had the best experience with Russ! First, he gave me a line item quote, and I always prefer that to an overall bid. Because of that, we decided to assemble our own cabinets to save on costs, but even then, Russ was helpful. I called him to ask about assembling a specific cabinet (which remember, I didn't pay him for) and he was always responsive and helpful. Then when it came to the actual install, Russ was at my house on time EVERYDAY. He was quiet, clean and fast. I recommend him 10x's over!

The guys at Royal installations are lifesavers!
After a terrible experience with another company I called them out to install my kitchen and bathroom cabinets . They are quick , courteous and knowledgeable. There were no hidden or additional fees and they started and finished the job exactly when they said they would . I highly recommend them !!!

Russ does such meticulous, beautiful work! As an interior designer, I'm very picky and always looking to create high-end custom creations. Russ is the same way. He installed a very detailed kitchen for my company's showcase house, using both Ikea cabinet boxes and Semi Handmade door fronts, and it looks like a million bucks. His work was so good, I'm using him to build custom closet cabinetry throughout the house, and I've recommended him to other clients and contractors. Definitely will hire him many more times!

I have a 13 year old kitchen from Lowe's that had a built-in fridge that needed to be removed and no one would/could help me because the cabinets had to be taken apart. Russell however agreed to take a look for me. It was not his normal work but he agreed to try to dismantle the cabinet so the appliance could be removed, then rebuild once the old fridge was out. I wasn't there so he sent me pictures of the progress, he called me when there was an increased cost/labor involved (due to unforseen sprinkler interference)... totally professional and flexible. He even brought a new plywood

My wife and I are extremely happy with Russell Faulkner and the beautiful IKEA kitchen he installed for us. Russell was courteous, professional, arrived on time, kept the work space clean before he left everyday, and always made sure we were aware of what was going on and what was going to happen next. No surprises, just a great install. I Highly recommend!
PS- I'm happy to communicate with anyone who needs more direct communication via email. Russell can provide you with my email address.

Probably one of the untidiest, sloppiest and unreliable workers, who promises the world, but does not perform.
If I could, I would give Russell from Royal Installation a NO Star and would never recommend him/his company to anyone who is serious about getting things done right.
After having 2 other handymen come and review Russell's work, it appears that I have to demolish his work and start over again.
Not even a call back to try to offer to fix things- What a guy !!
