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.

Kitchen Renovation

Lee was great. He walked us through all the steps, laid out a kitchen for us based on our expectations, was always asking useful questions, and he made helpful suggestions along the way to make sure we were going to be happy with our new kitchen cabinets. He also let me take care of the stuff I wanted to take care of, and was easy to work with, flexible within reason, and a nice guy to boot. Lee and his team kept our place very clean and he left the work-site organized and tidy every night. Really pleased with his work - I feel like I lucked out by picking him to work on our kitchen reno.

Extremely happy with our new kitchen

My wife and I are extremely pleased with the new kitchen Lee and his team built for us leveraging the Ikea 'Hittarp' product. From the moment we met Lee during the measuring process, to the last day of the install, his entire team was extremely professional, very friendly, and easy to chat with. The kitchen was completed in about 3 weeks which included removing existing kitchen cabinets, adding potlights & venting, building and installing new cabinets, and updating the plumbing.

Aprox cost includes demo, build, install, with Lee. Countertop costs included but purchased and installed by a 3rd party. Does not include cost of cabinets or new appliances. My wife and I will install our own backsplash.

Advice for those hiring Lee & team: Make sure you get all of your questions answered before work is scheduled as it might be difficult to make modifications. Also, if any work or 'cutting' is to occur in your garage, make sure you cover & protect all of your belongings. While the inside of our house was covered and protected, some wood cutting had to occur in the garage where items were personal items were not covered/protected. I was required to complete an extensive cleaning afterwards.

Before and after photos are included in my review.

Kitchen Renovation

We used LS Kitchen Specialist for our kitchen renovation, which included removal of the old kitchen, design and installation of a new kitchen, laying of a new tile floor and some electrical work.

From the design stage through to the completion of our kitchen renovation, Lee was a pleasure to work with. Work, including custom work, was carried out on time, within the estimated time-frame, and with no hidden extras or costs.

The quality of workmanship was extremely high, and we very impressed by the finished installation.

Construction mess was kept to such a low level that even our neighbours commented on how clean and tidy Lee and his workers were. We would recommend LS Kitchen Specialist without hesitation.

It was a pleasure working on your project. I enjoy seeing a project from the design all the way to the installation; a master piece comes to life with the help of my team. We are really committed to customer satisfaction through fair treatment of their home, respect to our clients and handling waste efficiently, so there is very little disruption to the client and their neighbours.

Kitchen Reno

Lee and his team did an amazing job! I hired Lee to plan our Ikea kitchen and the results are outstanding. He provided me with some great design solutions to maximize the space, and took our family needs into consideration. Our project involved a complete re-design, flooring, plumbing and electrical. Lee and his team are very professional. He is super organized and completed the job on time and on budget. My guests cannot believe it's an Ikea kitchen and always comment on the quality of work.

I would not hesitate to hire Lee again, and would highly recommend him for your kitchen projects!

IKEA kitchen installation

The kitchen was gutted and ready to go. We've contacted Lee and he gave us an estimate. When he came to see the project he was very knowledgeable and quickly figured out were things need to go. He was experienced with any adjustment that needed to be made and customizations. I would definitely recommend them.

Very clean work, put cardboard protection on the floors and made no mess. Very happy with the results.
