Great work and a pleasure to deal with. Steve was very professional, on time and diligently worked through the installation. He did an excellent job building the subfloor and assembling the 4.2x1.8m shed. Would recommend Steve for anyone looking for handyman type of jobs.

Driveway concrete ramp

$700

Doncaster VIC 3108, Australia

9th Feb 2026

Hi, I need professional help to fix the bottom of my driveway because my car is scraping on the tile edge. What needs to be done: 1. Remove the existing 30cm grey tile strip at the bottom of the driveway 2. Re-build a smooth transition ramp between driveway and footpath 3. Ramp must be: • Strong enough for vehicle weight (Tesla Model Y) • Not too steep • Durable for outdoor / rain 4. I prefer the finish to match the existing driveway, which is dark grey exposed aggregate, but I’m open to options. Your solution may include: • Re-pouring concrete with correct angle • Colour-matching the concrete to dark grey • Re-doing exposed aggregate to match the driveway (ideal) • Any professional suggestion to avoid scraping

Complete outdoor shed assembly

$150

Surrey Hills VIC, Australia

27th Dec 2025

We have an outdoor shed (metal sheeting) measuring 3m wide x 0.78m x 1.7m high (brand Easyshed). It has been assembled, but the walls need to be erected. This is likely a two person job or else 1 person who is skilled at holding the walls to drill them together with nails. It should be a straightforward job IF you have experience at assembly or are a skilled tradesperson. Please don’t apply if you don’t have this direct experience - we have been stuffed around before on this task and just need to get the job done. Thank you.

Mapa arrived punctually, communicated well and above all got the job done efficiently and with skill. Highly recommend.
