Kitchens, designed & built by hand.

Cabinetry, stone, plumbing, lighting, and millwork — fully designed and built by one team. Direct-sourced from the workshops we trust, installed by licensed contractors and skilled trades engaged and managed by IVORAH.

A real project

A real kitchen, designed around real life.

On a recent whole-main-level project in Germantown, the homeowners hosted parties constantly — but their kitchen was walled off behind three arches, with a small island and a worn wood floor. We removed the arched wall to open the kitchen to the living, family, and dining rooms; replaced the floor with large-format tile; and replaced the small island with a very large one — the kind twenty guests actually gather around.

Then the detail that makes the difference: because this family entertains so much, we added a second sink at the window and a second dishwasher. Cleanup after a party no longer takes until midnight. That's what we mean by designing to the problem, not just the request.

The IVORAH kitchen

The room that has to work.

A kitchen brings cabinetry, stone, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, and lighting together in the “most-used room”, of the home. IVORAH coordinates these disciplines as one project, keeping the layout, schedule, investment, and final details aligned.

At IVORAH the kitchen is one project with one owner. We design the layout around how you actually cook and gather, render it in 3D, price it as a fixed quote, then build it — with cabinetry is sourced directly through trusted makers and selected for craft, fit, and lasting value.

Real numbers

What a kitchen remodel costs.

Full design-build kitchen remodeling with IVORAH runs $250–$600 per square foot depending on materials and how much is custom-made. A typical American kitchen of about 200 square feet lands between $50,000 and $120,000, complete — design, cabinetry, stone, lighting, construction, and management. You confirm a fixed quote before anything begins, and it doesn't change without your written approval. We've honored that even when a 55% mid-project tariff meant absorbing the cost ourselves.

Questions

Kitchen remodel FAQs.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Design typically takes two to three weeks. After your design is approved and the project is ready, qualifying kitchens enter IVORAH’s 90-Day Sourcing & Build Guarantee — — materials and cabinetry sourced, built, and delivered within 90 days. Installation begins once everything arrives on-site.

Do I get a fixed price?

Yes. Every design decision is priced as it's made, and once the agreement is finalized, your approved scope and price are the baseline. Nothing changes without your written approval; requested changes and previously hidden conditions are documented first.

Can I stay in my home during the remodel?

Usually, yes. We phase demolition and set up temporary kitchen arrangements, and your dashboard tells you exactly which days trades are on site.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Collierville or Memphis?

$250–$600 per square foot design-build; a typical 200 sq ft kitchen is $50,000–$120,000 complete, fixed-quote before you commit.

Can I change the design after confirming?

Yes — freely, until the production drawings are approved. Then the design locks, which is what protects your price and timeline.

Do you handle permits?

Permits are only required when plumbing, electrical, or gas changes — which most kitchen remodels involve. We pull permits on nearly every project and manage inspections for you.

What are the payment terms?

Design starts with a $500 site-visit package: the on-site visit and measurements, your 2D floor plan and AI-generated 3D views, material finalization, and your estimate. If you move forward, the $500 is credited toward your project; if you decide not to, it's non-refundable. After you approve: 50% on approval, 20% when your products ship, 20% during installation, and the final 10% at the walkthrough — once you've approved the finished work.
