Amazing job from start to finish.

I found Lee on Home Stars and relied on the high rates he was given. The reviews weren't wrong. Lee is a great person to deal with, he knows Ikea kitchens from the inside out, is very attentive to details and performed the job in the predicted time. His team is very knowledgeable and performed every task professionally and on time.
I'm very satisfied that the project went so smoothly from beginning to end. I did not have to miss one day from work and run endless errands trying to get materials and supplies. We also got the countertops where Lee recommended and that also save us time and money.
I would highly recommend Lee for any Ikea kitchen project.

Kitchen Renovation

I was referred to Lee after our original contractor up and left us without a kitchen. Lee and Martin were able to jump right in where the last guy left off. Not only assembling and installing our IKEA cabinets, but also finishing the drywall that was only partially completed when they started, then painting and installing trim, installing the hood range, floating shelves, and dishwasher.

After doing a few house renos in the last year, and interacting with different companies, I can confidently say you will not find anyone better for a kitchen reno. Lee did not try to charge more than the original estimate. If there was ever any question about how I wanted something, they asked instead of assuming. They were easy to have around - respectful, friendly, came and left when they said they would, and left the space tidy at the end of the day. They were timely and their quality of work was perfect - paying attention to detail, leaving us with a professional looking finish. We will definitely hire them again for our next kitchen reno.

Thanks again!

Dream kitchen

This is the second time we have hired Lee to renovate a kitchen, and both times he delivered on time and on budget.
This latest project was a complete demo to create our dream kitchen.
From the first appointment, he had good ideas on the design of our kitchen, including recommending to not go open concept and build big pantries for extra storage as well as remove bulkheads, portions of the wall to open it up instead. He also recommended a company to replace and brick over a side door -- and they provided a very good price to do that work.
As part of the project, Lee laid vinyl flooring in the whole main floor, including the dining room and living room, painted and replaced all the baseboards. He and Martin did an excellent job. It is very obvious that they take a lot of pride in their work. Lee and Martin are both hardworking, tidy, kind and very personable. I actually miss having them here to chat with -- absolute pleasure to have around -- they are like family! My kids love them too.
Any additional changes and questions, Lee was very patient, accommodating and flexible.
We wanted our kitchen done before Christmas and he made it happen, sometimes working into the evening or weekend.
Thank you very, very much Lee and Martin! We love our new kitchen. It is a complete transformation.

Very happy with Lee's work

Lee provided seamless kitchen installation from start until finish. From the moment we had a consultation with Lee we knew that we would choose him to install our Ikea kitchen.

Though you can certainly install an Ikea kitchen on your own, Lee and his team makes the kitchen look as good if not better than the ones you see in the showroom. We were impressed by the detail they put into the work. Impressed especially how they filled the gap at the top of the cabinets to make it look as though there was a crown moulding on top.

At the end of each day they would clean up the work space quite throughly and would fold the packaging from the cabinets nice and neat . The cherry on top was them finishing ahead of schedule!

Thank you Lee and team! We will definitely use you again in the future.

Thank you for the review. For LS SOLUTIONS is important to hear your experience with our services, this helps us to improve and try to provide the best service possible. You are correct IKEA kitchens can be installed by home owners, the difference is that we have a lot of experience twenty six thousand hours to be precise.

This experience has helped me to think outside the box pushing me to find different solutions. The other thing is that I like my job and I enjoy working with different people and creating something that will provide you happiness/ joy/ work space/ family space/ food/ memories. The kitchen is the heart of the house and the room in which we spend a lot of time. One of my goals as a professional is to provide you the best design, the best installation possible and peace of mind.

So Happy!!

Lee is the best!! From start to finish, all of the suggestions were fantastic and we couldn’t be happier. We were not able to change the footprint of our layout but Lee made sure to make the finish product as custom looking as possible down to the detail of the trim work. Always open for questions and gave great input on hardware design. Martin worked with Lee and worked hard and was very polite. We had a great experience and would highly recommend Lee and his team.
