Bay Install

I found Bay Install on Unilocal while looking for an installation company for my kitchen remodel. I decided to use IKEA cabinets, but the company that IKEA recommends was reviewed poorly. I wasn’t willing to take a chance.
During my search it was hard to tell which businesses are willing to do full remodels, not just instal cabinets. Bay Install did it all. They demolished the prior kitchen, painted our whole loft and added base boards, put the kitchen together and installed it, as well as did our back splash tiling.
Every step of the way they made smart, cost effective suggestions that made the flow of the project much better.
The woman I hired to do the kitchen design did a terrible job. She left out the sink, and chose cabinets that were entirely too small for the place. Bay Install went above and beyond and even redesigned the kitchen where the prior service failed. David picked out new cabinets that were more appropriate for the space. David let me know that he would have preferred to do the design as well.
If you need a design prior to your kitchen project definitely use these guys. They have lots of experience, are full service and do excellent work. They completely cleaned up everything after their work and could not have been more professional. The pricing was also incredibly reasonable for the quality of work. We will definitely be using them for all of our future work

David just finished up our kitchen minutes ago and… it’s wonderful! He installed new countertops, a new sink, and a new faucet — all from Ikea. Prior to doing the job he came out to give us an estimate and advise us on what Ikea products to buy based on what would function in our space. He’s professional, reasonably priced (I called a lot of other places to compare), and he does excellent work. Another plus is that he’s super responsive over text which was really convenient when we were planning the job. We will be using him on future home projects and highly recommend him.

I would definitely recommend David as a builder of IKEA cabinets. He and his assistant came and built a small kitchen full of cabinets for our garden apartment, and they did a great job. Their quality of work is high, and they are perfectionists. I was very happy to have hired David and recommend him highly.

David and his crew just completed our kitchen, an «IKEA install» that ended up requiring quite a bit more than just assembling and installing cabinets. Several problems arose that needed solving, and David was great about tackling them head on and finding the right solution. This required a couple of extra IKEA trips, which David did without complaint.
David is not a corner cutter and takes a lot of pride in getting the job done at a high standard. There were several areas where ‘good enough’ would have worked, but he was adamant about doing it right even when it required extra time and effort.
The cost of the project was very reasonable. We’re really pleased with our new kitchen, and would absolutely hire David for a future project.

I usually don’t give reviews, but David and his crew deserve some praise. We were pressed on time to get our Ikea cabinets assembled and installed. Scheduling was a cinch. They came out the next day and did a heck of a job putting everything together and finishing the job in a matter of hours. David has an eye for detail when it comes to the small things and getting all the portions just right. We were extremely pleased with results and overall professionalism that was given to the job. I’d use them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

They installed a countertop and sink on IKEA cabinets that I had already built. They also secured the cabinets to the wall and installed the toe kicks under the cabinets. Excellent work all around, and very good price (cheaper than what I found on Task Rabbit). I’ll recommend them to everyone I know.

David took on what we might have thought was going to be a simple IKEA install project (kitchen cabinets, countertops and sink.) However, in our 100 year old building, home projects are NEVER simple. (Example: when pulling down the old wall cabinets, a huge portion of the sheetrock came off with it only to reveal old, nasty rotten wood behind it from a million years ago.) Needless to say, the project took much more skill, effort, time and patience than we ever thought it would. Despite the set-back’s and increased work, David stuck with it and completed the job for a very reasonable piece. Note: I was sort of put off by David’s personality (no frills and to the point kinda guy) when first meeting him, but he ended up to be perfect for the job!

When my hubby and I got overly ambitious with IKEA closets, David came to our rescue.
We’d found 3 super-​tall wardrobe closets to fit in our loft perfectly. And since we had built a number of IKEA pieces before, we thought, hey, no problem. Then the boxes showed up. All 40+ of them!
My hubby found David on craigslist and gave him a ring. David was out that night, quickly assembling all the parts, and creating giant closets out of our packaging chaos. We were thrilled!
He’s a friendly, professional guy and we were very pleased with his workmanship. We’ll definitely hire him again. Highly recommended!

During our company move to a different office, I personally had to deal with all kinds of crews doing different types of work for us. Bay Install gave me one less headache when it came to the assembly of the new office kitchen.
Not only did we get two loaded trucks full of boxes, and boxes, and hinges, and more little metal things, but we needed them done right away. What would have taken us ages to build took our representative a few days! He then came back and reported to me we’ve been sent some wrong things for assembly and was quick in explaining what we’d need, Even drawing sketches for me (who knows absolutely nothing about this).
One of the most important things besides quickness and efficiency was responsibility and trust. Our representative offered to exchange the extra stuff we didn’t need, get what he needed to finish the assembly of cabinets for our kitchen, and he came back with a receipt of how much he’d spend and breakdown of what was left.
It’s the little details that make it working with them so easy and painless.
Thanks guys!

I hired David twice so far. Once, to assemble a huge wardrobe; another time, to install a bathroom cabinet and other small items around the house. On both occasions, he was on time, quick, efficient – and affordable!
I have a couple of examples that I think speak to his character. First, when I requested that he add some bars to my wardrobe so I could hang more clothes, instead of trying to rack up hours on his bill, he recommended against it because he said it would compromise the structure of the piece. The second time, he offered to secure some of my existing furniture to the walls, free of charge, since we live in an earthquake zone.
I would hire David again, and recommend him without reservation.

It’s very upsetting to me that Unilocal filtered out my previous review, so I’m writing another. David and his cerw did an amazing, quick job on my kitchen, from design to execution. He picked up all the materials, and was finished in 2 days, working from 8 am to 10 pm each night. I would recommend him to anyone looking to install a new kitchen.

While recovering from a back injury, my wife and I decided to look into paying someone to assemble a few pieces of Ikea furniture. David was very responsive to my inquiry, provided the lowest quote, arrived on time, knew what he was doing, and did a great job! Moreover, David was a big help after we learned (well into assembly) that Ikea sold us a bad book case. David completely repackaged the book case and volunteered to return after I exchanged it… at no extra cost. He did. I would highly recommend him!
I was not given any discount or any other type of compensation for this posting.

First time I hired Bay Install to put together some IKEA wardrobes. They were recommended by my friend, so I gave them a try. I was really pleased with their work and customer service, so I hired them again to remodel my kitchen. The job included demolition of the old one, assembly and installation of the new IKEA kitchen, some electrical and plumbing work and installation of the laminate floor. I was super happy with the result. Guys worked 10 – 12 hours a day to finish the job fast, and that was important to me. Moreover, there were some problems with the IKEA order, when I got some wrong boxes, but Dave took care of it, went back to the IKEA and put everything in order. This was for me headache-​free experience, I’m enjoying my new kitchen and I will definitely recommend Bay Install to my friends.

He worked hard on my kitchen and finished the job very well. Very thorough and meticulous. It took longer than I had anticipated, but the quality was very good. Thanks, David.

Just wanted to mention that David offered me a refund.

David did a good job installing our Ikea kitchen. Less expensive than most kitchen contractors we spoke with.

What a guy! Dave is super intelligent, professional and ALWAYS gets the job done! My TV Stand arrived without instructions but he was able to put it together in less than an hour — This is our 2^nd time using him and will never think of hiring anyone BUT him. My wife and I were very impressed — he takes pride in his work which is most important when you’re fixing or installing something I’m probably going to live the rest of my life with. Decent prices and committed to getting the job done.

David came in very short notice and did an excellent job putting together our Ikea furniture (a wardrobe and tv unit). He was fast, professional and we were very impressed. Would definitely use his service again.

David was quick to respond to our call and help to set up a bunk bed that my son needed for the night. We had to rescheduled a couple times to accommodate David’s other jobs (bigger jobs I think). At the end David did come back to finish up the remaining pieces 2 – 3 days later. I’d recommend David and I’d advise to have David’s estimate of time and cost up front, and ask him to finish the job in one shot.

David was very accomodating with our schedules. Fast install, precise!
Will definitely recommend to friends.
