Basic Builders

At Basic Builders we take the time to get the details right. With over 25 years experience, Basic Builders is the premier kitchen installer of Ikea style cabinets in the New Jersey & New York metro area. Husband & wife team Peter and Lissa Welles are both Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute graduates, each holding a B.S. in mechanical engineering. We call ourselves the Kitchen Engineers. Our design service includes a two hour private session in your home creating your dream kitchen.

Why take chances when it comes to installing your kitchen? To date, Basic Builders has installed hundreds of IKEA kitchens. We designed the first IKEA certified Kitchen Installer program in the U.S. and also were part of IKEA's Certified Installer Program while it was active. We love IKEA cabinets and have them in our own home. We treat your home as if it were our own. We are guests in your home and treat your space with respect. Our staff makes sure to protect the floors and install dust barriers before work begins.

Basic Builders has been designing IKEA kitchens for over 25 years. Our experience and understanding of their products allows for maximum function and ease of use, resulting in the beautiful kitchen you've always wanted. We hate those dead corners as much as you do. Our team knows which components can be customized around that crazy wall obstruction to make use of hidden space. Our design process combines practical cost savings with efficient design. Basic Builders understands how something like moving a plumbing line can potentially add significant costs to your project.

Basic Builders works exclusively on the design and installation of IKEA kitchen cabinets. You could say we are obsessed, taking on each project personally, and paying attention to the little details that make a big difference. For 25 years, our company has been putting the customer first. We care that you love your kitchen, and that it exceeds your expectations. Basic Builders takes on a limited number of projects at a time so we can focus on giving our customers quality results. Many clients come back to us when they buy a new home so we can once again deliver their new dream kitchen.
