Great job thanks so much

Need a tradie for odd jobs few hours

Kyle is absolutely the best. He is fast, efficient, friendly, professional, communicates excellently, I cannot fault this guy. I could throw anything at him and he could do it. Did a great job, exactly what he said and in the time he said he could too. Such a capable guy, I will use him again and again for anything building, plastering, moving things, just anything. He can do it.

I removed a silly corner structure in our hallway. I require the plastering done where structure was removed. It is a little over 1m2 and includes a couple of corners to match into the existing wall. Just plastering required - no painting.

I am not happy with the job. I do not believe that Brenton has the experience to do plastering. Communication was difficult and the finishing off was poor. I had to finish the job myself. I would not do it again
