Replastering an Apartment Wall

$300

In the end I was happy, but this was a complex task and needed a significant amount of oversight from me. Jayson was great, prompt, communicative and knowledgeable about a variety of things. He arrived at my place with a labourer, someone that he hadn’t worked with before. Unfortunately, the labourer made a number of errors, resulting in the need to modify the design and purchase additional materials. This person also was a little careless onsite and caused some other damage to my property. Jayson was apologetic and worked hard to find a resolution to the issues and ‘make good’ on the quoted job. I have to commend his tenacity and persistence. I recommended that Jayson not bring that labourer onto another job. Jayson agreed. In the end, I have a verandah and I’m pretty happy with the result. It needs a few ‘extra’ holes filled because some timber’s were originally positioned incorrectly. To Jayson’s credit, he hadn’t built a bullnose verandah before and they’re a bit more complex.

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.
