Customer Testimonials

Don't just take our word for it.
Hear from our happy clients.

It can be hard to find a trades person to not only understand your vision, but also buy into it and own it. Josh performed his work in an ultra professional way and to the highest standard. He not only met but exceeded our expectations. He is not your typical tradie he communicated very well and turned up on time every time. If you're looking for someone to bring your vision to life, look no further.
Joshua took great care to turn my office with an archway entrance back to a 3rd bedroom with a door and rehang after painting the hallway door. Joshua did a beautiful job and I would happily recommend him for your building work.

Jo Cowan

Great attention to detail in his work. Very punctual and efficient at getting the job done. Very accommodating to our request and we are really happy with the end result. Would totally recommend to anyone wanting to get some work done. We will be using again for some future work.

Kris Shanahan

I am really impressed with the quality of work completed by Josh. It was so easy to arrange everything, from the quote to the times for the work to be completed. I would have no hesitation recommending Josh to others, and I will definitely be using Josh again in the near future.

Nicola Jane

I recently hired Josh to construct a new wall and door in my house. I could not be happier with the process from start to finish! He was punctual when arriving for both the initial quote and the work itself. He was extremely professional and reliable and I look forward to hiring him in the future - special mention to the high level of courtesy and respect he offered me which sadly does not always happen as a woman! Thanks so much Josh!

Ashleigh Josephs

Another sterling effort from Josh Stevens restoring the main lounge room ceiling of Napier Cottage - thanks Josh!
