## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this tradesperson's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I have hired Denis and his crew on more than one occasion, the most recent being after the big storms we had here in Wellington and my roof needed attending to. I have always been extremely happy with the consistency of workmanship carried out by his crew. The installation of my kitchen went in without a hitch and structural changes which required re-gibbing ceiling etc. Look forward to hiring them again."
> Source: Karlene (5.0, via NoCowboys)

> "We haven't started our reconstruction yet as we are still waiting for council consent however this rating is based on advice provided by Denis up to Jan 07. He's been very open with us & provided good advice & even helped with additional quotes. A good kiwi bloke!"

## 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.
