Highlights
“We had Paul Taylor do a major renovation job in our house from April - June 2010 in which our house was basically gutted and relined and altered. We found every aspect of his service to be highly professional and efficient. We spent exactly what he quoted and he worked quickly and the finish was excellent. He was happy to source materials for us when required (like matching matai floor boards) and also recommended a fantastic sparky and gib stopper. I'd happily recommend Paul to anyone”
“I was very impressed with the work undertaken by ALP Building Services. I intend to use them again.”
Detailed reviews
Positives first - Paul arrived when he said he would to the minute and made storming progress within the first 10 minutes before I had to leave for work. Reliability scores 100%. The only reason i have given him 80% for his quality of work is he replaced a doorframe for me and then informed me I would have to replace the flashing myself above the door - an unforseen cost that would have been minutes for him to have sourced and sorted whilst he was here. I don't mind, it's a small job, but

Restricted building work in New Zealand must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner. Confirm they hold a current LBP licence - and check their licence class and any disciplinary history - on the LBP public register before you hire.
Check the LBP registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
