Testimonials

Wayne has done several jobs at our place in Remuera, including the replacement of a balcony, a bathroom and a fence. He exceeded all our expectations by finishing all these jobs with attention to detail and giving excellent finishing touches and completion on time and within our budget. 
Its a pleasure working with him. Thank you Wayne.

Glenmo, Remuera.

Thank you, place looks fab and tidy. I appreciate all the extra effort to make it perfect. Will let you know once I have oiled timber and treated concrete so you can finished product (and plant and grass). And I am definitely keen to do the doors.

Wayne is multi skilled. He is an excellent problem solver in that he is willing to go the extra mile to understand a problem and then provide a solution. He is a very good communicator.
He solved a garden drainage problem I had endured for years, by designing and building a handsome retaining wall and burying pipes that divert the water which has resulted in the house drying out.. At the same time he built a very good looking path and raised garden beds worthy of a landscaping magazine. 
He renovated an en-suite under sloping eaves and subcontracted a glass tradesman who solved a shower wall and door problem in a very confined space. 
He also replaced and finished a stairway following exacting design specifications from a stairs manufacturer, and a designer.
Other jobs he has carried out for me are in the area of general property repairs and maintenance. 
Wayne let me know if he was held up for any reason and wasn’t able to arrive when he had said he would.
His hourly rate is higher than some other tradies but I believe you get what you pay for and his skill set justifies the rate.

Alaine, Sunnyvale.

I would just like to thank you for all the hard work you have done at our property. And would be happy for you to provide this letter to prospective clients as testimonial of your excellent work.

The stopping was excellent, precise and carried out in a timely manner. You kept me informed throughout the whole process, and worked long hours to keep us on target time wise due to us wanting to urgently get into the property. Your paperwork and billing was also excellently handled, with progress claims making payment easy and less painful than one bill. You were also happy to help gib, thanks. I might add that you were far better at this than my other builder!

You also carried out work on our exterior wall’s plastering. Again I am more than happy with the workmanship.

I can honestly say it was a pleasure having your smiling face on our worksite. You really do go the extra mile. I will continue to recommend you, as I have already done so to friends, family and acquaintances through work. Best wishes for the future.
