With no hesitation, we are proud to highly recommended the team at Hille's.
We are so grateful, and we are appreciative of the workmanship, assistance, guidance and understanding that the team at Hille's provided, with special mention to Travis Byrne and Stef in administration.

After the initial work was underway, we immediately felt at ease and we knew we were in good hands as we had developed a great rapport with the team at Hille's. The constant communications, reassurance, willingness to listen, raise and explain any issues, concerns and offer suggestions/changes made it all a very comforting experience. All calls and emails where returned and answered promptly.

We are so impressed with our home and the level of finish. Travis has an acute eye for detail and there were items that were picked up that he wasn't 100% on the finish that even we failed to notice. We thank all Hille's tradies for their time, effort and pride in their work. A few of them commented on how beautiful our home looks including family and friends.

We fully endorse and recommend Travis and Stef at Hille's to anyone contemplating their home extension/renovation.

Hi Tony,
Thank you so much for your comments and we are so pleased that you had a great experience working with Hille's.
Best of luck with the future and your beautiful home.
Thanks again!
Everyone at Hille's Home Extensions

I really enjoyed working with Hilles Home extensions. They listened to our ideas and stepped us through the design process. Once we were happy with the design Hilles handled the council and building approvals step. Once construction started it continued smoothly finishing on time and on budget with no surprises. We lived on site throughout the build and Hilles made sure the site was kept clean and tidy. I would recommend them.

To the Hille's Team,

We are ecstatic with the house. The service we have experienced has been amazing. Any issues raised have been really quickly dealt with by yourself and Kieran and left us with a great sense of confidence in our builder and their process. The level of finish is a credit to your trades and Kieran’s management on site.

We have been strongly recommending Hilles to others and will continue to do so. Some feedback from our kitchen supplier (Cantilever interiors). They have been really impressed with the quality and cleanliness of the site and dealing with Kieran. They have indicated to me they are recommending Hilles to their clients.

There were certainly be many years of happiness ahead. Thanks to you, Kieran and the Hilles team for the huge contribution!

Many thanks
Appreciated

The end to end service Hillie's provides is what makes them the extension company of choice. Hillie's were timely, professional and personable in their approach, giving us peace of mind and overall a great renovation/extension experience.

We would like to send this testimonial as a big thank you to the team at Hille's Home Extensions for all your help and guidance over the past few months during our renovation.
We found working with Travis Byrne to be an extremely easy and positive experience. He was in constant communication with updates and explained any problems with detail and reassurance. We felt that we really didn’t need to go near the house to check on progress as we knew it was in safe hands.  He also was invaluable with information and tips for when we were getting tiles, flooring and fixtures.  We really couldn’t fault how he handled our project.
We will have no problem recommending Hille's and Travis to any of our friends.
 
Thanks for everything!
 
Regards,
Lauren & Gary Browne

I built for Hille's Home Extensions for many years. Craig Hille and his team are solid, decent people and he runs a very tight outfit. It's an organisation that has survived many years through the economic cycles with it's Integrity fully intact.

I have had a very pleasant experience whilst extending my home with Hille's during the past year. They were very flexible with any variations I requested and were helpful during my selections stage. During the whole process I felt comfortable and confident in the works taking place in my house. During the process i was living in the property and formed a great relationship with my site supervisor Travis, he put my mind at ease and was constantly making sure i was happy and keeping me up to date. The 7 year warranty that Hille's provides also makes me confident that any issues that shall arise will be promptly attended to. Highly recommended!

Approximate cost: $400

We had the great misfortune to place our trust in Hilles of Glass Street, Essendon when we decided to have our home extended 5 years ago. Initially, they appeared to be quite impressive and nothing at the planning stage was too much trouble. Everything we asked for would be
provided, no problems. Such empty promises. It didn't take long once the project began for things to start going wrong. Fortunately for us, we were living close by and so we kept an eye on progress every day, cleaned up the mess and safety problems, and brought anything we were not happy with to the project foreman's notice. We must say that the core building team of 2 carpenters and an apprentice (all subbies) was very good and obliging; the same cannot be said of anyone else. I won't go into the list of errors that were made and the considerable additional costs that were incurred due to Hilles ineptitude. However, I will say that their warranty is worthless. We have just had to replace the rear deck because, among other things, the stumps had rotted - and this occurred during our long drought. Our builders told us that the timber used by Hilles to construct the deck was not appropriate for outside use. So, if you decide to extend your home, be very careful about who you choose to do the job, and ask for references from other clients before you commit yourselves. And allow an additional 30% for your budget.

Approximate cost: $300K +

Thanks for the review Radar. We were about to sign on with Hille's before we read this and you have definitely made us think twice and ask a lot more questions. At this stage we are still likely to sign on as a) all of the references they have provided have been very good and b) they have confirmed definitively that they only use company-employed builders/carpenters.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with them and would love to hear from other people out there who are happy to post independent reviews.
