The ceiling of the garage of our tenanted property collapsed unexpectedly a couple of days after the sale contract papers were given to the purchaser to sign. Found Pride Plastering on WOMO and gave Paul a call. He came out to inspect the garage at a time that was convenient to the tenant and us, gave us the quote on the spot and was able to do the job within a couple of days. He arrived at the agreed time on the day, did an amazing job, cleaned up after himself and came back to paint the ceiling and cornices a couple of days later. We were very happy, the tenant was happy & the purchaser signed the contract. Would not hesitate to recommend Paul: His price was competitive, he did a fantastic job, he was very professional to deal with, considerate of our tenant and willing to undertake the job on an urgent basis.

I've been taking my pets to Bob Cavey for over 10 years-from when he was at his previous location. If you want the problem diagnosed correctly first time and resolved & if you want good service, go and see Bob. My dog suffered for 4 weeks at another vet clinic when she got an eye ulcer. She was given nothing for pain after her eye was scraped and her eye wasn't improving. When I took her to Bob he operated on her eye and within no time it was as good as new. He diagnosed kidney disease very early in one of my other dogs and he lived an extra 3 years of good quality life as it was so well managed. He is very experienced, has a wonderful way with the animals (my dogs love going to the vets) and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I won't take my dogs anywhere else now even though this clinic is 30 mins away from my home.

Mick was recommended to me by a friend after my own handyman died suddenly. He is also now my parents' home handyman. He works in the South Eastern suburbs. I have used him several times to do odd jobs around my house such as: build a picket fence & gate, hang pictures and floating shelves, replace tap washers, paint, change difficult to get at light globes & smoke detector batteries, hang hooks for hanging baskets, change doorknobs etc. He is a fast worker, very reliable & his costs are very reasonable.

Doorite screens replaced my front security door & side panel a few months ago. They are a family owned company and I found them very helpful over the phone. I was given prices for several options over the phone. Their showroom had all the door designs and mesh options which helped me to choose the exact design I wanted. The father/owner came out to measure my door and side panel. He offered great advice and he recommended they change the width of one of the panels so it exactly matched the wooden front door. He was also able to have the security door & door handle powder coated in the same colour as my timber front door which is a discontinued paint colour. No other company was able to do that for me. I believe their doors are all made to measure and made on their premises. I've had no issues with my door and am happy to recommend them.

Requested several quotes to paint the inside of my house but most painters didn't want the job as it was too big a job: difficult & fiddly. Ended up with 2 quotes-I chose Phillip as he came highly recommended by a friend, his references were fantastic and he was a lot cheaper than a 5* company I found on WOMO who gave me a quote. He used top of the range Haymes paint, he prepared the surfaces well, did 2 coats of undercoat and 2-3 top coats, sanding in between. He took down curtains for me, moved some furniture which was too heavy for me to move, removed curtain brackets from an old blind (he had to remove the door to get them out) and even re-siliconed my garage entrance when he noticed it had worn away and water was getting underneath my slab. He offered to do these things and he did not charge me for this extra work. He is trustworthy-I left my house key with him, and my dogs loved him. He is completely reliable, a little slow but very methodical, very tidy, thorough, a perfectionist. I did find some spots to be touched up which were only obvious at night when the light was on and it was no issue at all for him to fix them. I cannot recommend him highly enough. My house has been completely transformed. He has done a top quality job which I can see will last a long time. I've now asked him to paint the exterior of the house next year!
