Our washer/dryer was not draining and finishing its cycle. The problem turned out to be a blocked filter which had in turn burnt out the pump. Dvir fixed it quickly, replacing the pump and cleaning up after himself. The cost was very reasonable and he even gave us a 10% discount as he was a tiny bit late - as it was a day of high winds, rain and hail, we were home anyway, and he'd rung in plenty of time to tell us, we didn't mind and the extra discount was an unexpected bonus. I'd highly recommend DBHL Service to anyone.

We had two small bathrooms gutted and refitted. We also had a new trough, bench and cupboards put in our laundry and the old toilet downstairs replaced. The work was done in 3 weeks and we are extremely happy with the results. Duncan and his team were courteous and professional. From design to clean-up the process was far superior to other experiences we have had with other tradespeople and companies. I would not hesitate to recommend DNA.

Approximate cost: $30000

Dealing with Vista Blinds was a nightmare. A job that was supposed to take 3 to 4 weeks took 5 months. There were mistakes, delays, confusion and a whole lot of stress. I sent complaint letters that were often ignored. I was given a discount half way through the process due to problems, however after I had paid the final installment there were more problems. I complained again and got no reponse. I took Vista Blinds to Consumer Affairs. They refused to admit any responsibility as I had signed the customer care form without outlining the outstanding issues. The result of the consumer affairs case was that they offered me $10. I declined to accept this. I urge anybody thinking about using Vista Blinds to go elsewhere. This is a situation where cheap is not best.

Approximate cost: $1900
