## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this tradesperson's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I am absolutely THRILLED with our new stairs! The work done is beautiful and strong. It's a much better entrance to our front door now! We also really appreciate the help and patience with explaining things and answering our questions (which is one of the reasons we accepted this quote over others). Thanks again - your service is outstanding, especially so in the company of other tradespeople! Would definitely call Chris again if necessary..."

## 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.
