Highlights
"I had my entrance door replaced by Mikal. My Door is a small frame with the frame not fully squared, so not an easy job. Mikal managed to do an excellent job. He has been very proactive in suggesting the right door for the job and he completed the work quickly and a good level of finish."
"very professional, friendly and affordable. work was perfect and would use again."
"Mikal was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! He was easy to communicate with and really flexible around our availability. He fitted dado rails in our hall, panelling in our bedroom and varnished some long neglected shelves and cabinets, totally transforming our home! We couldn't be happier with the job he did and will definitely use him again."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
