Full kitchen and two bathrooms

Lee Sanchez may be the best builder or tradesman I've ever worked with.

He quoted quickly and clearly on my job. He was extremely flexible and fair when my schedule and the scope of work changed.

And most importantly, he did excellent work. This guy knows Ikea components - he and his staff assembled and built all my Ikea cabinetry very skillfully.

The associated work - trim carpentry, painting, and plumbing - was very good. Excellent workmanship.

He is careful, works deliberately and thoughtfully, and communicates very well.

Also he's a good guy, and a very calm presence on a construction site. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Kitchen Reno

I had been looking around for appliances and a few gadgets for my kitchen, I thought it was time for an upgrade. I only went to ikea to grab a few nik naks and ended up buying all my appliances from there. The experience was great, easy shopping and the lady that helped me was very intelligent, overall very happy with the quality of products and the service. Would totally recommend ikea it's more than you think.

Office Renovation

We are a Toronto-based charity and hired Lee based on the recommendations of one our board members who had him work on their kitchen.

He did a great job on our kitchen, installing it on time (even though IKEA's delivery was a disaster) and we keep getting compliments!

Thanks Lee!

Dream Kitchen Installation

Lee built our dream kitchen for us. I would call myself a demanding client. And Lee delivered on everything we expected and more. He is highly skilled, does excellent work, has a solid work ethic... and is an absolute delight to work with.

More specifically - in no particular order:

-He is very meticulous in his measurements, installation and finishings.

-He is extremely knowledgeable in the IKEA product - which means that he'll know exactly what you will and won't need relative to the innumerable little fittings, adjustment or customizations that are required - or that you may want - to install your kitchen properly and beautifully. These may or may not be part of the order you placed. Because Lee worked in the kitchen area of IKEA before going off on his own... he knows the ropes and what is possible.

-He is flexible, helpful and cooperative in working with the other trades that are involved in installing a kitchen... in our case, electricians, plumbers, the granite installers, etc.

-He is open and creative in working with you to customize the installation in varying ways. There were a number of 'non-standard' concepts we wanted to include. We collaborated on ideas and possibilities.. and Lee just always figured out a way to make them happen. And with the same precision and quality that he did with all of the installation.

-He is calm and centered, pretty much unflappable - no matter what kind of chaos is happening - important to us because we were doing a full renovation of our entire house.. so there was lots happening all the time.

-He is reliable, keeps his promises, and works conscientiously to achieve his client's needs and expectations.

In summary, I can highly recommend Lee to you.

Ikea kitchen installation

LS Solutions did such a good job, I called them back to install my next kitchen and will call them again for the next one. They are efficient, well-priced and a pleasure to work with.

Hint ( and I learned this the hard way):
If you're putting in an Ikea kitchen, it's worth calling in Lee Sanchez before you buy, he gives great advice which can save you money and avoid future aggravation or time-consuming return visits to Ikea.

Kitchen renovation

Lee did what he said he would do - he and his team arrived when they said they would arrive and completed the job on schedule. The job was done very well. Lee worked with us to plan what would be suitable. We are very happy with the results and would recommend Lee to others.

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Don't be afraid to think big. Lee can handle it. Ask Lee for suggestions. He has done it all and will provide you with ideas that you might not think about. Take a look at Lee's portfolio for ideas. Get your granite from here: www.torontogranite.com. They work well together.
