Robert Downs

received money back for the design.

Robert is the absolute best! He is efficient, honest and detailed in his work. I feel so fortunate that he has not only done our entire kitchen, raised the ceiling for us, installed electrical outlets, and on his way out from our home he went out of his way to fix small details he saw needed work that we did not even ask him for – he is just the best. I cannot recommend him enough. I feel at ease knowing that we can call him for anything and will get a great price and have the work done efficiently and right the first time around. Thank you Mr. Downs! You’re the best :-)

Wow! Cannot say enough good things about this business. Robert knows his stuff and is the consummate professional — but is also a great guy. I bought some inexpensive, PREPAC garage cabinets, but lost my nerve when it came to installing the rail system that they hang on. The cabinets are HEAVY, and these HUGE screws need to be dead-​center in the stud to support the weight; and the stud finder was giving conflicting readings. Home Depot sells these, but does not install, and had no recommendations. Did not know what to do. Thanks to Unilocal,found Robert.
He came on his one day off (Sunday) to install. (He also provided other installers names, if I needed help sooner!) I would have been happy paying his $ 100 minimum just for installing the rail system; but he spent another hour (at least), bolting the four cabinets together for extra strength, and installing/​adjusting the doors perfectly (like only a professional installer can). Some of the hardware was damaged/​defective, and he even fixed that. I think the guy is amazing.

It all started out great when we contacted Robert in September to do a full day of finishing work on our new kitchen cabinets. Robert came to our house, reviewed our project, and then promptly sent us an order sheet and details regarding the installation. I then went to the store, ordered the $ 500 of extra product he needed, and then told Robert two weeks later that I was ready for him to install. RADIO SILENT from Robert over the next 6 weeks aside from a short text or two saying he would get back to us. So we sent him a text or an email every couple of days but he would not reply back until several days later. Eventually we got a note saying he did not have time to do our project so we went with someone else.

I hired Robert to install IKEA kitchen for me. I am impressed beyond expectation. I would hire him for my clients and my own home. He is hire in price but worth the money.

Joined Unilocal just to leave a review for Robert, who is hands down the best contractor we have ever worked with. He went above an beyond for us installing our Ikea kitchen, fixed work that other vendors messed up during our whole house remodel, and is all around just a great guy and a pleasure to do business with. He is a perfectionist and super detail oriented, our kitchen looks like it cost a million bucks. When he completed the job, my husband and I both said we were genuinely saddened at the thought of not having him around. If you are looking for someone to do your install, you will not make a mistake leaving the job in Roberts hands. I cannot say enough great things. WE LOVE YOU ROBERT!!!

Unfortunately we had the same experience as others. Robert did a wonderful job until he received the last payment and then was no where to be found after many many calls, emails, texts. He never finished his punch list or promised services from the agreed upon contract. Very disappointing since he does quality work. Do not trust Robert.

Unfortunately, I have to amend my five-​star rating for Robert. He did two built-​ins for us in two different homes. The first went perfectly, but on the second, we had an experience very similar to William C. The job was 90% complete when he disappeared and failed to respond to our multiple calls and emails. He promised to come by and repaint the cabinet doors that, for whatever reason, he had only been able to get a single coat on (no primer?). In the months since his disappearance, the paint has cracked, which compromises the overall appearance of the wall unit. Moreover, he had promised to replace the hinges with soft-​closing ones that he had «forgotten at home.» We like Robert, and we like his work, but his failure to follow through is troubling. We were going to use him for a kitchen overhaul, but I have concerns about his tendency for disappearing on folks.

He is the best. We decided to go for Ikea and after his visit here we never had any doubts he would do it beautifully and he did it. Very responsible respectful clean and organized. I definitely and highly recommend him. Thank you Robert!!! ;)

The subcontractors who originally installed our kitchen cabinets did such a pathetic job that an entire section began separating from the wall and was getting ready to crash down entirely.
Robert assessed the situation, installed temporary supports and came back the next day to complete the repair.
It is beautiful now and MUCH better than it ever was; he is a true craftsman!

Robert did our kitchen cabinet/​backsplash install, we were super pleased by his work. He had fair pricing, was upfront about any additional costs, and he is just a very friendly person. It is nice to feel comfortable while someone is in your home. He also went beyond just our cabinet install and found two leaks in our kitchen, which he fixed and ultimately saved our new kitchen from water damage. We would definitely hire him again to do our bathroom remodel next year! Thanks Robert!

Called the phone number and his message asks callers to send a text. Have sent two texts with no reply. No longer in business???

We decided to buy a condo a few months ago that needed some upgrading. I quickly started to plan out the remodel and found Roberts profile on Unilocal.Since I was planning on using IKEA cabinetry it sounded like a no brained because Robert had so much experience with the product. Well I was right. Robert was nothing but helpful and attentive from the time I contacted him for the initial quote to finishing the project. He definitely knows his shit and as he likes to say as well treats your money like his. So he will offer up solutions that will best fit your needs. The work performed was kitchen demo (wall opening expanded), kitchen cabinet install (IKEA), appliance install (sink, dishwasher, microwave, oven, fridge), 2 bathroom sink/​cabinet demos, bathroom cabinet and vanity install.
Overall I would definitely recommend Robert to anyone and would use him again for sure.

First– his work is the best. I mean flawless. He will tell you what you need what others are doing, what IKEA will tell you and how to respond to them. He knows the products inside and out, better than the employees at IKEA. He is also a perfectionist. Your cabs will come out amazing, I mean really good.
Work ethic is just as good. He always was there 10 mins before he said he’d be there. Robert was always waiting on me instead of vice versa.
His IKEA plans are spot on as well. Feel confident that when the employees question what he has on the list, the employees are wrong, not him. The stand out moment was when he did a re design at night while I was at the store, to accommodate what they had in stock– IKEA sucks with their stock during their sales… It’s really terrible, but he makes it as tolerable as possible to deal with IKEA.
Personality wise very cool dude. Easy to talk to and you can be open about what you want, like and don’t like. We had him do so much stuff in our kitchen… Raised ceiling, demo, wall removal, cabinets, appliances, design twice, lighting in cabs, ceiling, and under cabs… We had him do everything and it all turned out AMAZING.
We had some scheduling problems and he made sure to follow up and complete everything we had agreed to and we are VERY happy with the outcome.
First class all the way!

I was a little worried about finding a contractor for our kitchen remodel, since you always hear horror stories about lousy contractors, but once my husband and I found Robert, we were trilled to find someone competent and trustworthy
He was very clear and up front about his prices (which are really good)– very prompt in his communication with us– and obviously cares about the quality of his work.
I highly recommend Robert not just in Unilocal-​land but also to my friends. We love our kitchen and totally plan on calling Robert the next time we need work done at our house.

We recently had a water leak which caused damage to our built in office unit. I did some research on Unilocal and reached out to several people. Robert was the first to respond to me. He was very personable, easy to work with and knows exactly what he’s doing. I was slightly concerned being that most of his reviews on Unilocal talked about installing Ikea cabinets, but decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. I’m glad that I did and am extremely happy with how everything turned out. He exceeded my expectations. I’ve already referred him out to other people.

Robert Downs very recently installed our Ikea kitchen (job completed just a day before Thanksgiving), and the outcome was excellent. From start to finish Robert was available to provide his expertise and invaluable knowledge of the Ikea products. He has installed hundreds of Ikea kitchens and it shows in his work. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about the Ikea products, but also is a perfectionist, and the quality of his work is what one would expect from such an individual — perfection!
Robert is always easy to reach by either text or cell phone, and always returns texts and messages promptly.
Besides his familiarity with the Ikea products, Robert is highly skilled in plumbing and electrical, and remodeled our kitchen ceiling lighting from the old style fluorescent tube fixtures to modern LED lighting. What an improvement! He also installed our new Blanco sink, garbage disposal, and Kohler faucet, and everything works perfectly.
There were a few items that needed to be tweaked after the dust settled, so to speak, and Robert came back a couple of times to take care of those minor items. He is very reliable, trustworthy, and honest. We would not hesitate to recommend Robert Downs. Not only is he a highly skilled professional, but also a very pleasant and engaging man.

I had to write a review for Robert. I actually didn’t get to use his services but his customer service is first class. I sent Robert a text and he responded immediately. Unfortunately he’s tied up and wasn’t able to get to my job in the timeframe I needed to but he was very considerate and actually referred me to someone else which is not something that a business would usually do. He was concerned and wanted to make sure that my job got handled and handled correctly. I hope in the future I am able to use Robert’s company because he seems to have a great work ethic, great customer service and produces a quality product.

We love Robert! We had him install a complete Ikea kitchen from head to toe. We are so lucky we found him because he was such a good problem solver with figuring out solutions for the kitchen. He is very meticulous and pays close attention to details. He kept us informed if there were going to be any extra charges along the way. Very profesional! 5 stars for sure!

He really is a 5 star guy!
I’m always a little weary when I see a Unilocal profile with 5 stars on every single review, Robert absolutely has earned and deserves every single star on this review.
I setup an appointment with Robert and he came over the same day that I had taken off to meet with the guys (Signature Services) from IKEA, flaked. He looked at my kitchen plans, looked at all of our prep work and gave me a rough quote. Like others have said, he has a great personality and is professional.
Robert emailed me later that evening, told me the dates he would be working and when the project would be finished. He was there when he said he would be and the project was done when he said it would be!
Robert installed all of the cabinetry, the over the stove microwave, set the refrigerator and dishwasher and even installed our sink/​faucet temporarily until we get our counter tops!
Robert really came in and wowed me. If you need someone to install your IKEA kitchen, he is definitely the man!
