The below phots - start to finish 7 working days. widened the cupboards, rebuilt insitue, new tops, paint and splash back.

During this past month I have performed many repairs, small building and upgrading jobs in several homes on the North Shore, my area work base. I’m a Sole Charge operation, all discussion and quoting, project management and product purchase, then doing the work myself.
I have a fellow builder mate to help on some of my jobs, between us we have at least 90 years experience, not bad for 2 guys. I’ve been swinging a hammer for over 5o years and Mike 40 years.
I specialise in small jobs, all those little things that should be adjusted, repaired or replaced and you keep putting off, simply because you don’t know how or where to get your maintenance brought up to scratch.


Please realise it’s way more cost effective to keep up to date with your maintenance than leave it and find that the original problem has now helped wear out something else. Now you have more than one piece to be fixed and subsequently, you guessed it, the job will cost more.
I don’t charge for my first visit, yes, Free. We can discuss your maintenance job be it big or small.
Feel free to contact me.

I have been advertising on here for nearly 11 years, in fact I’m one of the foundation members.
I have helped 100’s of you with work in your homes.
From little iddy biddy jobs to much larger work like new kitchens and bathrooms, installing new interior and exterior doors and windows, with everything in between.
I only work on the Shore; I live in Hillcrest so I’m never very far away to be able to help you.
I have an Ad in the business section if you would like to check me out.
I’m here to help you, my company motto is – ‘DIY you can’t do yourself’.
You know it is always cheaper to get someone to do the work that you aren’t sure about.
Oh, I know, the good old Kiwi adage ‘she’ll be right’, just doesn’t cut it most of the time.
We are all fantastic in our respective areas of expertise.
I do spend time with you so that I feel comfortable with the knowledge that you and I are putting together something that you want, that the design is great and workable.
Oh, I do have an offsider, Mike has 40+ years experience and I have 50+ years.
