Our clients say
I have had Quinton carry out numerous building projects for me over the years including decks , retaining walls and fences among other things . always clear communication on pricing and process .Top class tradesman . Highly recommended - Ali , Kaiapoi
Quinton took on our properties renovations in the capacity of Project Manager and Registered Builder. Our property needed to be lifted then totally renovated inside and out, including the roof, a total re-brick and a large deck rebuild. Because of his 16 years of experience in the building industry he had the knowledge and contacts from all the different trades. He knew who to contact and book next to keep the project moving. He knows how frustrating it can be dealing with Natural Hazards (formally EQC) and isn't afraid to chase them up.We would certainly use him again and recommend contacting him for anything property related.Thank you so much Quinton😊 - Wendy , St Martins
