A. Gregory in Toronto

I have used Lee's services four times now, for different kitchen and closet projects in two of my homes. The first project was a small, 80 square-foot kitchen renovation in a tiny Toronto bungalow. Lee's expertise in planning helped us maximize the space and kept the cost very reasonable. When we moved into a new house in 2015, we had a limited budget but needed additional cabinets. Lee provided design services and excellent suggestions to maximize the space while also recognizing our budget constraints. He also did a fantastic job of building custom closets and a window bench for our daughter's bedroom, repurposing ikea materials that had been previously used in another room. Finally, last summer Lee provided a full kitchen reno for us, including gutting our main floor, partially removing a wall (but keeping the existing wainscoting and trim), all new tile, new cabinetry, lighting, plumbing and backsplash. He did all of this on time and on budget. One particularly tricky area was tiling our front hallway and kitchen, which was not level. He did an excellent job and the workmanship was top-notch (no cracked grout!). He also recommended really excellent countertop installers. Renovations are messy, stressful and expensive, but Lee made it so much easier on us. All in all, we have been very pleased with Lee's services. He is professional and kind and has always been very good to both myself and my young family, and takes the time to keep the worksite clean and safe, which is a huge relief when you have young children. We highly, highly recommend Lee's services. It is so hard to find a good contractor and he is one of the best.

This is the second time I have used Lee and his team for a kitchen install, and I will not hesitate to use him again for any ikea-specific needs. His team is professional, prompt and courteous, and his pricing is the best in the business. He even came back over a year later to fix an issue (that wasn't his fault) outside of the warranty period, cost-free. I would highly recommend this company.

Lee and his crew, from start to finish, were excellent. He not only designed my kitchen for a very reasonable price, he also went through several design changes and worked to customize some elements of our kitchen at no extra charge. He had some wonderful ideas for maximizing space, and managed to fit a fridge, oven, large sink, cooktop, microwave and dishwasher into a 78 square foot kitchen. All the other contractors we had spoken to said this couldn't be done. Lee was efficient and well-priced. My husband and I love our new kitchen and we can't recommend Lee enough.

John was our general contractor for our recent kitchen renovation. He worked in tandem with a kitchen cabinet installer, but John was responsible for all demolition, insulation, framing, creating a window in a load-bearing wall, as well as painting, tiling and plumbing for our brand new kitchen. We couldn't be happier with the results. John was professional, on-time, flexible and always in a wonderful mood. He finished ahead of schedule and under budget, which is virtually unheard of in the renovation world. In addition, in the middle of our renovation, we had a small flood in one of our basement rooms. John took the time after our kitchen reno was finished, and came back to demo the room and help us avoid a costly home insurance charge. We are extremely pleased with John and will be using him again next year when we tackle our basement renovation. We highly recommend Fans Renovations.

My husband and I found a home in a terrific area and put an offer in. We knew it needed work and hired Tom to come in and inspect the home on our behalf. My husband was in Ottawa during the home inspection, so Tom took the time to speak with him afterward and go over the major issues the home had. He inspected the home thoroughly and documented the major findings. We will use his report to plan the various improvements we have in mind. Bottom line, Tom was a pleasure to work with and would recommend his services. Thanks a bunch Tom!
