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.

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.

Kitchen Reno

Lee is an amazing person, and contractor! He did a complete gut and reno (including design) for me in March (sorry for the delay in writing this Lee!). From start to finish -- it was clear that this man is not only very skilled at what he does, but also creative, intuitive, and compassionate. He loves what he does, and cares about his client. (He was even concerned about the amount of stress the project would cause for my doggie.) Lee made the whole experience completely stress-free and easy, and it was a big job. From the outset, he said, "There is no problem we cannot solve, so there is no need to be anxious." And he did solve (very creatively) a couple of issues I was concerned about. The other guys he brought (electrician, and tile guy) were also outstanding and easy to work with. Lee, it was an absolute pleasure -- and my kitchen is fantabulous. A friend recently said, "This is a WOW kitchen!" -- I would (and already have) highly recommended Lee! Not a doubt in my mind!

Condo Kitchen Renovation

Lee and his team renovated my condo kitchen in May. His estimate was clear about each task to be done and the cost. He provided good design tips and wonderful finishing touches. I am very pleased with my new kitchen. I would highly recommend him for any Ikea installation.

Kitchen Renovation

I hired Lee after reading many positive reviews on HomeStars. I have to say, he delivers as advertised! I had Lee come up with a design for a small kitchen that did not use it's space effectively. On top of the new cabinets, I needed Lee to remove tiles on the walls and floors, grade the floor and repair the walls. His quote is itemized, so you will know exactly where your money is going. I was impressed by how easily it was to coordinate a project with Lee. We would often exchange many emails throughout the day just to make sure we were both on track. It made planning so easy when I didn't even need to see him to know exactly where we were in the project. Lee had to do a lot of custom work given that my house is 100 years old and none of the walls and floors are true. Lee made everything look so good. This has definitely added value to my property and I will be charging more rent because someone will get to enjoy such a nice little kitchen. The best part - Lee completed on time and on budget. After working with Lee and going with Ikea cabinets, you will wonder why you ever considered custom cabinets. Thanks Lee!
