Kitchen & Laundry Room Cabinets

This is the third time in 6 years that we have hired Lee to do a full kitchen installation as I do not trust anyone else with my kitchen. Lee is very meticulous with the details and his work is very precise which makes the kitchen look custom made. He does not rush with the installation and spends the time to make sure everything is done right. He is also willing to spend the time to problem solve tricky installations. Case in point, he managed to install my custom kitchen range hood in a very tight space which other contractors I asked had refused to due to the complexity of the installation. Lee is a very easy person to talk to and work with and I would not hesitate to hire him again for our next project.

Frustrated and Disappointed

I went to Homestars website to see if I can find a reputable contractor for my Kitchen reno and LS Kitchens responded quickly. At first the communication was amicable and it seems they were trustworthy and dedicated. But after I paid the deposit, things went quickly sour. They did not want to answer questions or consult me on any decisions in the design of the cabinets. I was told that clients normally leave everything with them and they move out of their home. After a series of frustrating conversations, I decided to end the relationship. The last straw was when the cabinet company contacted me to say they were ready to move forward with the construction but I was never consulted with the final design.

Dear,

Thank you for taking the time to write your version of the facts. We at LS SOLUTIONS take pride in the work that we do because we abide by our core values. One of them being client satisfaction. From the instant that we start our consultation we are committed to listening to our client, understanding their perspective and going above and beyond to make their dream kitchen a reality. We move forward with an installation/renovation ONLY when the client has agreed to every phase of the project. The truth is in all the happy customers who have kindly and graciously taken the time to give us positive feedback. One thing that is really important to acknowledge is that there are boundaries that need to be respected by the client. Those boundaries can not be crossed. We don't operate 24 hrs a day 7 days a week and have many, many, many, clients to tend to that we can't offer personal support.

Clean, efficient, professional

Lee completed our kitchen installation flawlessly. He was communicated well, did the work efficiently, professionally, on-time and the final result was perfect.

Lee was head and shoulders better than other contractors who we've hired for similar jobs. I would love to have him do work for us in the future.

Excellent Work

We found Lee after meeting with many other contractors and he was clearly outstanding, being exceptionally clear, fair and knowledgeable about the work we asked him to do: two bathrooms.

What’s more, upon completion, we’re happy to report that the execution proceeded similarly well, and that we’re know very happy with your two beautiful new bathrooms. We highly recommend Lee and will be hiring him again for future work.

Jolanta, taking on your project was a great experience. The fact that you decided to move out during the construction helped us to work steadily without distractions. We were able to meet important deadlines. Thank you for your trust. We look forward to tackling your next project.

complete kitchen renovation - outstanding results!!

Working with Lee was the best decision we could have made for our kitchen renovation. Our project was a big one – complete gut and redesign in a 100 year old house. Lee was fantastic to work with and exceeded our expectations on all fronts, from the initial design phase, demolition, renovation and right through to the final details. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and was able to anticipate potential challenges, accurately budget the project, execute perfectly according to schedule and keep us informed throughout the whole project. His attention to detail is impeccable – the final product looks like a completely custom kitchen, no one can believe it is Ikea. Lee took down a partition wall to open up the back of the kitchen, removed a drop ceiling, made custom pull outs underneath the cabinets for baking sheets, customized the cabinets around our fridge and microwave so they look built in, installed under cabinet lighting, built a full pantry, and worked with all the imperfections of an old house to make sure everything is perfectly level. We are thrilled with the final results, and a few months later the excitement still hasn’t worn off. His partner Danny, and the subcontractors he brought in were all excellent. In addition to the kitchen, we also hired Lee to do custom drawers underneath our stairs for extra storage, which turned out beautifully. A big factor in making the experience so positive for us was Lee’s personality. Renovations can be extremely stressful and Lee’s patience, kindness, honesty and optimism were invaluable to us.

We would highly recommend Lee and look forward to working with him again in the future.
