Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

Dear Amada,
It has been almost a week since Lee finished my kitchen and I just want to let you know that you were right: I love it and yes I’m in awe.My 11 years old granddaughter,after seeing the kitchen,still with blue film,told her mom that they urgently need to renovate their kitchen.What a compliment! It was fun to have Lee in my house and watch him work with patience,precision and care to details.I was also grateful to Lee and Vince for paying attention to cleanliness and clean up after days work. Special thanks to Lee for finding ways to “rejuvenate” my odd shape island.It looks fabulous with granite.
Also, few of my friends who are thinking about renovating their kitchens are taking Lee’s contact information.I think this is the best attest to his work.
Wishing you personally, your family and your business all the best in years to come.
Sincerely
Mirjana

Kitchens (at least 7)

I have used Lee in at least 7 different Ikea kitchen reno's. From rental properties to my own kitchen. Before I met Lee, I used other people. Lee is the best. Most of all, he is very nice, excellent workmanship and above all else, clean. He cleans up every job site cleaner than it was. Thank you Lee.

ikea kitchen build

ON TIME, ON BUDGET, NO surprises...

When doing renovations and housework, those are the 3 things i always have problems with, but not with this company. They came, they measured, they gave me a quote inclusive of everything, they built they cleaned, they did everything to a very high level and what else can you say.... ON TIME, ON BUDGET, NO SURPRISES... i would definitely use them again... in fact i paid more to have pax and besta units installed upstairs and they did a shoddy job, went way over budget, and over time.... with IKS i would definitely use them again with no hesitation and would again in the future if i ever wanted someone to build ikea stuff for me again. NOT A CHANCE would i use anyone else!

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.

$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.
