I highly recommend Lee because:
1. He has expert knowledge of the Ikea kitchen product line - he knows what's available to solve your kitchen needs.
2. He is a skilled kitchen installer - his work speaks for the high quality of his trade.
3. His quote was detailed and complete - no surprises here.
4. He and his staff are professional, friendly and courteous - stress free.

Lee built a dream kitchen to match our dream house. Very custom looking and unique.

Lee did a phenomenal job on my condo kitchen and I would recommend him to anyone thinking of redoing a kitchen. First off, he took all the guesswork out of planning the kitchen, by helping me with the 3D design. He recommended several solutions to maximize my space using pre-designed IKEA cabinets and the finished design has worked out beautifully. As a result, ordering the kitchen was completely effortless. He did an excellent job taking down my old kitchen, organizing for re-tiling of floors, and finally built the new kitchen only in a matter of a couple of days.
His estimate was very clear and outlined exactly what I was paying for.
The end result is that I'm totally in love with the new kitchen. Thanks Lee!

After reading the previous recommendations on Homestars, we decided to give Lee a call. Now that the job is done we're glad we did.

He did a great job with the design. This made going to Ikea to place the order easy and hassle-free.

From putting together the cabinet to installing the counters, Lee went about his work with care and precision. Our design was a bit unusual, but Lee spent the time to make sure that all the nooks and crannies looked good. He was even okay when our puppy wanted to examine his nooks and crannies.

The new installation looks amazing. I am very satisfied with the job he did and would recommend him to anyone wanting an Ikea kitchen.

We got three quotes, one from the IKEA recommended company, another from a Homestar company, and the third from the Ikea Kitchen Specialist (Lee). Not only was Lee the most affordable, he also gave a detailed itemized quote so you knew exactly what he was charging for what service. During the consultation, Lee came by the house and carefully measured and doubled checked our online IKEA kitchen plan before we ordered our cabinets. He helped us revise our order to make sure everything would fit.

When the over 140+ boxes and what seemed like thousands of pieces of hardware were delivered, I was doubly grateful knowing that Lee was going to put them all together. He and his crew arrived on time at 8am and put in long hours to finish our kitchen in three days. Being a 60+ year old house, our ceiling and walls are not levelled and he was able to customize the trim, level all the cabinets and made our kitchen look absolutely fantastic. Being a DIY'er, this would've taken me weeks and weeks of frustration to do the kitchen myself with half the quality.

Lee and his team were a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. We paid exactly what he quoted, not a penny more. He is honest, professional, and very personal. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a kitchen installer.

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.

Good work knowledge, ethics. Quite professional and at the same time personable. Finished product is what you expected and more. Great service, punctual, and most importantly, honest contractor. I've already shared my experience with many people.

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.

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!

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.
