assemble kitchen cabinets

Ikea products are notoriously difficult to assemble so I didn't hesitate to look around for help when I needed new kitchen cabinets assembled. I found Lee on this website and engaged his services. He just finished my project, worked diligently, with a great sense of humor, and did it in just two days. Well done, hard worker, very pleasant experience!

Kitchen, laundry room, closets, cabinet

Lee came recommended from a friend. He came in to our kitchen. His approach was smart, thoughtful and he was able to customise to the kitchen to our space around odd angles and bulkheads and whipped it together in WAY less time (and frustration) than we ever could have. He saved us so much time and frustration we had him put together everything else we had purchased from Ikea (laundry room, closets, cabinets). I would highly recommend him again and again.

Kitchen Renovation

Once again, I'd like to express my gratitude for a kitchen installation job well done.
Your professionalism, attention to detail, creativity, and experience consistently provided additional care to every step you took.
I know so well that to achieve a modern aesthetic, precision preparation must take place in advance,
a habit you seem to have adopted since the start of your company.
You are one who are able to maintain your cost and schedule estimate unchanged while ensuring a high quality of work,
a rare attribute indeed.
You have proven yourself talented, creative , knowledgeable. Your friendliness and wittiness have made us feel the pleasure of you being around our house for the past few days, and sure you will be missed.
I am more than happy to recommend your great service to any who are considering a kitchen renovation. You meet the market of service need criterion need; 'friendly, efficient and detailed' you described and beyond.
I wish you the best of luck in your current and many more future project.

Hans,

It was my pleasure to be involved in your project. As a client you went above and beyond to make my job easy. Your precise measurements and drawings were the foundation for me to construct an amazing kitchen for you and your family. As well, I would like to wish you and yours all the best, and I hope you enjoy entertaining friends and family in the new kitchen.

New kitchen installation

Lee put in our new kitchen a few years ago and we were very pleased. He is a very hard worker and was very pleasant to have in our home. I would recommend him to anyone having renovation work done in their home.

Kitchen Installation

Lee was prompt, polite, chilled, smart, funny and thoroughly professional. He gave a quote that basically stayed consistent throughout the installation.
As opposed to another kitchen installer that ranks highly on this site, he recognized the quality of the design I came up with, helped perfect it, and didn't try repeatedly to change it so he could charge an extra 600 dollars for design time on his "superior" design program. Yes, the Ikea design app is flawed, but Lee effectively troubleshot any extra pieces that were needed to fulfill the design. I only had to make one extra trip to Ikea for 3 little bits of hardware when Lee realized he could actually optimize one cabinet by making me a whole extra shelf!
The only reason I won't give a perfect score is because it didn't occur to him to widen the fridge cabinet, so that I could inset the fridge, flush with everything else, and not stick out (a key element of my sleek white design). I only realized later with my handyman how easy an adjustment that is and HE did it for me instead.
Having said that, I would hire Lee again in a heartbeat. And I would never hire the previously mentioned other installer, who hales from a certain Eastern European country.
One more thing- Lee recommended a great countertop person, who gave a reasonable deal on a very expensive material.

Approximate cost of services:
$2,100.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Lee's services are beyond criticism.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Designing and planning a kitchen instal is a lengthy, expensive and complicate process, especially if you have to coordinate with other tradespeople. Hire Lee. On top of doing a wonderful job, he'll take a lot of stress out of it.

Josh,

Thank you for your review, but you should have called me and I would have taken care of it; that way HE would not have had to fix it for you.

IKEA kitchen installation

Lee was referred to me by my architect.It has been a pleasure working with Lee. In addition to installing my IKEA kitchen cabinets, installing the counter top and the back splash, he completed other projects in my small home. Lee is talented, creative and very knowledgeable. His attention to detail and care are evident in his work. I never worried that the end result would be anything less than brilliant. I have other projects in mind for my home and will be calling on Lee. I am thoroughly happy with my "new" kitchen.
