"Do not do business with Graham Lax. He trades under Able roofing and D and B builders. His mode of operating is to state he will start shortly then ask for a 50% deposit. After he gets his claws on your money that is when all the lies, excuses and "woe is me" stories begin on why he can not start your job. Man is he full of them. Exasperated I have cancelled the job with Graham and asked for my money back. I have not received a cent. Graham Lax is a dishonest man, don't be his

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.
