Kitchen addition

Can't say enough good things about Lee. He completed our kitchen addition quickly and it looks great. He also was able to come in to do the job a month early, too, at a fair price. He also arranged help to install a tile backsplash in our kitchen and complete some electrical work. Everything went smoothly and Lee was a really great guy to deal with. Would definitely call him again and recommend his services to friends and family.

kitchen gut & reno

after spending 3 months doing research for my reno I contacted Lee for a preliminary quote and design. As I have heard before the good ones are busy and it took a couple of weeks to finally meet. I was impressed by his approach and quick design suggestions and a can-do attitude. He gave me a detailed estimate, and a firm schedule and completed the job on time and on budget. Lee also worked well with the condo management so there were no issues and I am very pleased with the job. I recommend him & his team without reservation.

Kitchen

After purchasing our first home we knew that our kitchen would need a total gut job. After finding Lee on HomeStars we contacted him. He was always on time and professional and his crew was amazing. We would highly recommend Lee for any size kitchen. We now have a kitchen we love and all of our friends are jealous of.

Approximate cost of services:
$7,000.00
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Talk to Lee before going with the company suggested by Ikea. He will most likely cost less and do a much better job.

Kitchen Renovation

I contacted Lee after reading the reviews on Homestars to complete my kitchen renovation. Lee quickly replied to my email and arranged a free in-home estimate. I had already paid for another company (recommended by Ikea) to measure my kitchen for the cabinets, however this company gave me a much higher quote than I was willing to pay. Lee used the measurements but double checked them himself and recommended alternative designs to best suit my needs. Lee also was cool with me waiting to purchase my cabinets until Ikea had another kitchen sale, further saving me $$.

Lee and his co-worker were quick to finish my kitchen in 1.5 days (he had estimated 2 days) and Lee reused some of my old cabinets, which saved me additional costs. Lee also referred me to a great stone company and I was able to get a discount on my quartz countertops.

Overall, Lee was very easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable, efficient and honest! I would highly recommend him and I have been to all my friends planning a reno.

Kitchen assembly and build

Lee is amazing. He has always come in on time, and on budget. I have personally used him for many of my projects for my own home and referred him to many of my clients as well. I have only received glowing reviews from him and his company. He installed our very large ikea kitchen in a snap, and on budget. He also installed all of our wardrobes in our bedrooms as well. Great job! Feel confident that you will get great service with these guys. I would look no further!

Kitchen Reno

I have been needing to re-do my kitchen for years but was afraid of the cost involved and dealing with contractors. But I called Lee after not liking the company Ikea uses and it's poor rating. He came to my home with his contractor Bruno and it was the best decision ever. They did great work at a reasonable cost and I couldn't be happier. They turned my horror show of a kitchen in to a thing of beauty! Work done: Design of new kitchen, removal of old kitchen, install of new floor, cabinets, plumbing, shelving in pantry, backsplash, lighting, paint and finishing touches. Labour was approximately $5000 plus the cost of the supplies. Very pleased! :)

Kitchen Renovation - Condo

Lee and the crew are passionate and punctual. Project was completed in a timely manner. Lee offers great design ideas and is accommodating when you disagree. I recommend you listen to his ideas. In my kitchen you'll see symmetrical panels covering the fridge and washer/dryer stack. His idea. A bulkhead was removed and pipe hidden in wall cabinets that now reach the ceiling. His idea. The kitchen is beautiful and more functional- I gained usable storage I didn't know was possible. I chose Lee because he offered the whole labour package which for me was a valuable timesaver and piece of mind. Also, he is very conscious of keeping a clean work area. I felt respected and cared for.

Approximate cost of services:
$6,000.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
As client decides products, if a poor choice is made, be more insistent on explaining why it may not be a good idea. Lee is a smart designer with experience and his cautions need to be voiced instead of quietly working really hard to accommodate.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
If you are a condo owner confident in choices of products and colours and need a trustworthy, respectful, neat, smart crew to give design ideas and handle the whole labour package, I recommend you definitely call Lee Sanchez of L.S. Solutions.
