Jason & his team are to be recommended on the work they just completed at our place in Wollongong. A cracked brick garden wall was removed, our concrete driveway extended & new brick garden wall built. The work was done in a timely manner & the result was very pleasing.

We r located in APR and Justin was recommended to us by another tradesman we had doing some work for us. He was efficient in coming out and quoting. I had previously had two others come out but never got back to me as the job was on the small side they weren’t interested. Justin was great, not only prompt with the quote very prompt in getting work done, turned when he said he would even in weekends. He was even flexible when we asked for more than we originally said. He and his offsider we friendly and efficient, even locking up after themselves. The job was dig out gardens and concrete around a pool and then paint all the concrete new and old a bright new colour. The whole area looks new again. Thanks so much Justin.
