“I know that our clients are handled with care by Allan and his staff. He responds professionally and promptly, and provides skilled assessments and detailed quotes. Allan communicates clearly with landlords and tenants to ensure properties are maintained to a high degree.”
— Craig Patterson Real Estate, Carlton
“My house was leaking on my tenants while I was working overseas! A friend recommended Allan and I have to say, having him take care of our maintenance is key to my peace of mind whilst overseas. I know I can pick up the phone and ask Allan to deal with something and he will see to it. We needed someone who would take care of our property and you cannot overstate the importance of this when you are not around to personally deal with issues. We regard ourselves as extremely lucky having Allan maintain our property.
— Tony, North Melbourne
“He is always helpful, practical and punctual. A friend recommended Allan about five years ago, and I have been calling on Allan's services ever since. From small jobs like installing a clothes dryer to big tasks like putting up a shed and moving the garden taps. I recommend Allan and his team to anyone looking for a good, reliable service for all home maintenance tasks.
— Brenda, Northcote
“The benefit I received from your service is you take care of everything, I do not have to deal with various tradesmen. My initial concern was the bad state the shop was in. You were able to completely transform it into a wonderful space again that was able to be sold quicker and for more than anticipated. Thank you for your care and dedication. I chose Allan because he came across as honest, genuine, approachable and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend his services to family and friends.
— Bee, Princes Hill
“Allan is a good tradie, a dab hand at most things and reliable. I think the first job Allan did for us was replacing a rotten upright on our pergola. The work was well done and at a fair price. That’s well over five years ago. Since then he’s done small and big jobs - painting, plastering and carpentry, culminating in designing and installing a bathroom from scratch and installing a galley kitchen. He also has an excellent plumber and electrician to support him.
— Peter, Brunswick
“A large tree falling down during a storm, although devastating at first, made us rethink and redesign our outdoor spaces. A paving specialist recommended that Allan may be able to help - and help he did! He has continued to help for the last ten years with all sorts of work to be undertaken at our home. We needed people that were reliable, trustworthy and personable but, importantly, provided a high standard of service delivery - Allan and his team provide all of these.
— Anne and George, Eaglemont
