## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this tradesperson's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Absolutely recommend ALP Building Services."
> Source: Richard (5.0, via NoCowboys)

> "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"

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Never 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.
- In New Zealand, restricted building work must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, and all electrical, plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying by a licensed tradesperson (EWRB for electricians, PGDB for plumbers and gasfitters). Check the public register before you hire.
- For residential building work of $30,000 or more you are legally entitled to a written contract and a disclosure statement setting out the tradesperson's skills, licences and insurance. Ask for both before work starts.
