We picked Excel Bathrooms from their website to quote on renovating our en-suite. On meeting Andrew it became obvious that he took pride in his work and we had hit the jackpot.

Andrew always came prepared for his days work so he could work uninterrupted, is a master of his craft, and takes great pride in his work. Andrew is also in great demand so we had to wait a while before he could fit us in , he gave us an estimate of commencement time and this date proved to be accurate.

Would have no hesitation in recommending Excel Bathrooms

Ringwood Project – Oct to Dec 2015

Where do you start writing a reference for Angela Cosgrove of Creative Elegance Interiors Pty Ltd?

Finding Angela was like winning Lotto. By extreme luck we happened upon her website and on reading the glowing reviews were prompted to give her a call. We were sceptical that they could all be that good, but being new in the area and not having the benefit from word of mouth recommendations or even knowing any tradespeople in the area, we were entering a world that all came down to luck, and as chance has it we were indeed lucky.

Having mulled over what we required and how we perceived achieving it, we had our first visit from Angela. From that moment on, we realized we had struck gold, and we had been living with a very limited idea of what was possible, Angela proceeded to trot out suggestions and ideas that would never have entered our heads, her suggestions evolved into a much more realistic and workable floor plan than we had ever envisaged at the start.

Then came the finer details of materials and colour schemes, here again Angela produced ideas for
us to consider and led us through all the options best suited for our project, producing ideas and examples of how everything would blend together to give us a modern look in a Heritage style house without damaging its integrity.

On our deciding to proceed with the project, Angela prepared a very detailed schedule of works for us, including a flow chart of the daily activities of the various trades people over the estimated 9 weeks of the work, along with their quotes and payment schedules. Details of various suggested suppliers were included along with examples of some of her previous projects to give us some prospective on what was achievable.

We will tell you here and now that the trades people she introduced to us, all had an extraordinary work ethic, skills and an ability to work together without tension, they were always pleasant and very considerate to our needs while we tried to carry on living in the shell of our home, they would stay back to complete any tasks so as not to impose on the next day's schedule. Angela oversaw all the work herself and was on site most days and could often be seen unloading a load of timber or installing insulation in the walls herself, she was always available to us to answer any concerns that may have arisen and to ply us with suggestions of where to source appliances or items of furniture at the best possible prices, overall she must have saved us thousands whilst making no gain for herself.

The main work was all completed on time, to the day as promised, the only exceptions being where
we ourselves had requested additional work whilst we had the tradespeople on site or we had deviated from the original plan.

We have now ended up with a beautiful home and can only thank Angela for making it possible. We have no hesitation in recommending Angela and her team and wishing them well for continuing success in the future and we now join the growing band of her happy and satisfied clients.
