We had purchased a 40 year old house in Mount Eliza that needed an update so that it felt like ours.We had some ideas but really didn't know where to start. Angela was recommended to us and after making that 1st phone call we met at a local Cafe to talk ideas. The more we talked the more I saw my husband's shoulders lift, body language was saying, this sounds like what/who we are looking for to do our project. 3 hours later we walked out of the Cafe with a plan.

To say we put ourselves under pressure is an understatement, we were leaving in a few days time for 10 weeks overseas! A phone call to our tenants for Angela to have a look through the house and she was on to it. Ideas, plans, shopping for fittings and many many emails, texts and phone calls.
Angela set to work on her time line, getting quotes from all trades and regularly sending me ideas. All this while we were on the other side of the world. Angela sets up a time line for payment of all trades, so right from the beginning you know who and how much needs to be paid each week.

When the works started Angela was there everyday, making sure the plans were being followed and work done to the high standard she sets There were several times along the way, she came across problems we had not forseen, but with phone calls she talked us through to a good result.

Angela was always available, approachable and reasonable and worked very hard to see her vision for a great result through to the end. She communicated constantly and kept us informed through every day. She has a brilliant eye for colour and design. I had requested a Hampton's look and Angela was excellent at keeping me on track. It saved hours of time, as we kept to a theme, so narrowed down choices.

She has a great team of trades, they were all hard workers, respectful, approachable and each have a great work ethic. Their quality of work was excellent. If there was any problems a word or email to Angela, she talked to them and problems were dealt with.

Angela is very proud of her time line. It went up on the wall the day before works started and it was strictly adhered to, sometimes alterations were necessary and juggling was done. We might have compromised the time line slightly when, well into the reno we decided every window needed to be replaced. Angela managed this well and we are so pleased we went ahead. Towards the end there were a few late nights and I brought down coffee and chocolate! Project was completed on time and we were able to move in on the day originally planned. The plumber and electrician have needed to come back to attend to a few matters but nothing that stopped us from being there.

We did spend more money than we had budgeted. In saying this we have ended up with a beautifully renovated home because Angela encouraged us to see a bigger picture, than just a new bathroom, kitchen etc.

We would recommend Angela and her team of Trades, thank you for your vision, professionalism, and enthusiastically taking us on the journey with you.
