We have had a carport removed and part of the timber frame was attached to a rendered wall. The rendering requires repairing (see attached photos) and the two walls painted.The work needs to be completed by 9th February before the carport is installed.

Chad helped us with a rendering repair and painting job that needed to be completed urgently. His communication was excellent—he answered all of our questions and always got back to us promptly. Chad completed the work within two days of us accepting his quote, despite working in extremely hot conditions. His attention to detail was outstanding, and we were very happy with the final result. We highly recommend Chad and his services.

Replace power point covers

$250

Kingston ACT 2604, Australia

14th Jul 2025

Updated 21/07. Please update quote! Replace 11 old PowerPoints. Some will require just a new cover, others are mounted in brick walls and do not have a cover - new cover will need to be wired in existing hole. Tasker must have electrician certification. I will confirm how many need new covers vs wiring. At this stage, looking like 5 wiring into brick, 6 replacement covers on plasterboard. Please quote taking into account the split between rewiring and just a cover swap. I will provide the configuration of covers needed with the tasker i.e. double/single plug, light switches only etc.
