Highlights
"Ross is a very knowledgeable, personable and trustworthy guy. He has explained the whole process of our kitchen renovation and is always on hand to answer our questions either face to face or over the phone. Ross has a keen eye for detail, and we completely trust him with our project and would thoroughly recommend him."
"Ross is a very pleasant and courteous man to have working on site. Being both a carpenter and a builder his work is done to a very high standard of craftmanship. He takes immense care and gives great attention to details resulting in a very professionally finished kitchen. When unexpected problems arise (which must happen frequently when doing kitchens), he will take the time to resolve the problem to achieve the best fit and finish for the unit/s. Choices were given throughout the installation and good advice was given. I can highly recommend Ross for any building work."
"Ross has successfully completed another project for us, this time in our bathroom. He has sorted various issues we were having to a very high standard and his attention to detail is very much appreciated - Thank you Ross!"

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.
