Paul wasn't the cheapest to quote our job, however he does a great job, he is professional and is also reliable. We decided to go with Paul as he is young and enthusiastic about the job. He also does a lot (if not all) of a local builders work so has a good reputation in town. Give him a call, the results look great.

Approximate cost: $7,000

I have dealt with Sims Building Supplies on numerous occasions and always been impressed. Unlike other hardware places around, Sims have the time to help the customer out. It is a smaller Building Supplies place with a large variety of tools and materials. I would go there before heading to larger places.

After getting several quotes done - ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 - we were happy to get Dollar Curtains to do the job. After quotes were done, I took the samples back and have already booked in for installation in 3 weeks (2 better than other places). The girls at Dollar Curtains talked us through all the options for our slim roller blinds and we are looking forward to having them installed in time to get into our new home.

Approximate cost: $5,500

Darren came in as the cheapest quote by far and having checked out his other work, we were excited to have him do our excavating and earth moving works. He goes the extra mile in that he came and met with us twice to discuss options and how would look the best for when the works were completed. Saved hundreds by using him instead of other local tradies. Awesome job, proficient and professional.

Approximate cost: $1000

Almost finished building my new home. Great customer service and good tradies work for them. We have had few issues arise during the building of our home and all have been rectified quickly and profesionaly. All in all, we are very pleased with the quality of workmanship and how quickly it has all happened. To Tony, Mick and Catherine... thank you very much!

This coffee shop serve the best cappuccino in Ballarat that I have come across. The place is very cool and the atmosphere is relaxing. The staff at L'Espresso have always been friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Hoping to try thier food after reading other reviews below!

have ordered from MARTY'S plenty of times, haven't been disappointed once! They do a great job and we keep going back for more. Fish and Pumpkin cakes are my favorites.

needed building supplies for around the house DIY projects, HOME had a better price than bunnings on arc's and skirt boards. They then deducted a 10% discount off the material that I was buying, the same as Bunnings would have if I had shown the receipt. They also organised delivery on a Saturday which they don't usually do which was great!

Approximate cost: $350

went to Dyers for our anniversary dinner and were warmly welcomed and helped through the menu. The place has a great atmosphere and the food is second to none. It's more pricey than other places we have been but it's worth it for the customer service, quality and cooking of the meals and the experience itself.

Approximate cost: $30ish

Good meals, nothing fancy but service is prompt and value is good. The place is neat and the atmosphere is good. They also have poker nights which I have only recently discovered (not sure of entry price and soforth).

Approximate cost: $17.50
