Lissa and Peter were great throughout the process! Lissa walked us through every step, answered our million questions and was sure to offer expert advice along the way. Peter worked meticulously and came up with some really unique solutions including a hideaway cabinet for our wifi router. Basic Builders is the perfect way to make IKEA cabinets look like luxury cabinetry :)
We are super happy with our kitchen. This was our first time doing something like this, and Lissa and Peter really helped us figure out how to put the million different pieces together and turn our vision into a reality.
For a sense of their attention to detail, look at the photo of the backsplash. Peter planned out our backsplash so that the tiles would neatly turn the corner and not repeat in odd/noticeable ways.
Peter and Lissa bring this kind of expertise and experience to everything that they do. Highly recommended.
I am the son of Peter and Lissa Welles, so yes I am biased, but my parents legitimately do a really good job at this and have done it my entire life. If you want an IKEA kitchen, look no further, they will make sure you have the IKEA kitchen of your dreams!
