    "We had new aluminium windows installed during our house renovation including removing our old wooden windows, installing new ones, fixing gib, insulation and tidying the external plasterwork.. Ray and his team completed the work in good time, were very tidy and could offer advice and extra help when we needed it. I would 100% recommend them and would use them again."

    "I cannot recommend Ray and Sam highly enough.

    This was a major renovation and Ray managed all parts of this, supplying reliable subbies for electrical etc. When we ran into problems with the info supplied by the engineer, Ray worked on a solution that meant he could proceed and costs to me were minimal. What could have been a nightmare was minimised by Ray.

    The work was completed to the highest standard. I have lived in the finished reno for several months and have not found a fault. And most importantly, costs were as quoted (even the odd saving!) so I had no unexpected expenses at the end.

    Ray and Sam are both practical and solutions focussed. They kept the project on track and provided wise advice. I trust them thoroughly and would recommend for any job

    "Ray and his team did a great job for us. There were no problems and the communications were great! I never had to worry about what was happening next as they kept me informed. The new door looks fantastic and they did some other bits and pieces that were not quoted and I am happy with the quality of the extras as well as the job first quoted. Very happy with the quoted price and the cost of the extra work undertaken.
    Thanks so much Ray.

    "I arranged with Ray to extend my current small deck and build a semi-covered in area using a trellis affect on the walls, with the roof of small planks of wood that allow the light in.
    Two of his workers came to do the job. They were excellent. It was a concept, I wasn’t quite sure how it would look and I was totally thrilled with the outcome. They stained the whole area including the original deck.
    I highly recommend Ray and his team and would use them again if I have the need.

    I would recommend Ray without hesitation for any building work.

Nothing was a problem. He's that great mix of practical, not wasting money, but also doing what's needed and doing it right! Whether it was little fixes like easing windows or doors or a more substantial project like my new path, all work was done well, quickly and with fair costs for the quality of work provided. I'd recommend Ray in a heartbeat!"

    "Ray and his team were employed to replaced fascia boards at our home. On completion the work area was left clear of any debris. In addition Ray provided feedback on the condition he noticed of other materials in the area.
    We would be very happy to work with this team on any future work that arises.

    "We got a quote from Ray for a shower modification job for our elderly mother. It was one of several quotes. Ray's costing was among the best. He was responsive and helpful with additional queries back and forth via phone and email. And he arrived early with his team. The job was quickly and efficiently done - and the bathroom left very tidy. It was finished earlier than anticipated - an excellent, very professional piece of work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ray and his team for any building jobs. THANKS :)"

    "After trying for over a year to get some movement on installing a new back door, and after many calls to other builders, I rang Ray, he turned up when he said he would and scoped it out. He also helped me enormously in getting the previously purchased door returned and refunded. He arranged for a new door to be made to measure to the non standard frame. He also kept me informed at all times, installed the door and tidied up after his work. I found Ray very helpful, meticulous with his work and he explained things so I could understand them. I am extremely happy with his work and his attention to detail and I would definitely have no hesitation in recommending Ray to potential customers. It is great to see a tradesperson that takes pride in their work and actually does what they say they are going to do! Thank you Ray."

    "We have used Ray and his team for work at several properties over the past 20 years. The work has always been completed to a very high standard and completed in a timely manner.

    We have no hesitation in recommending him to others and will definitely use him again.

    "I have used Ray on several occasions for jobs on my old cottage. My first dealings with him was to replace weatherboards. With the age of the house, he went out of his way to ensure that the weatherboards he sourced had a similar cut pattern to the old saws that would have originally been used. I really appreciated this attention to detail - the repairs blend in well with the boards that were cut when the house was built (1880's). I have since used Ray as my nominated builder for Christchurch earthquake repairs, and also to fit a new bathroom shower.

    In all dealings. Ray is good to work with. His workmanship is very good, he is clear about what approach he will take to finish a job, and generally tends to be a no nonsense sort of guy.

    "Ray Steele replaced my kitchen ceiling, a wardrobe ceiling, installed an extractor fan, eased a door, and built a new hot water cylinder base. A lot of this was very "fiddly" work. All done with flawless professionalism - no fuss at all. He communicated with me well (e.g. when he would be arriving) and worked well with other tradesmen (electrician and plumber for moving the hot water cylinder). I can't remember what the price was for some of this work (it was insurance work so I didn't care), but I've just paid for the easing of the door and the price was very fair indeed. I'm simply delighted!"

    "Very happy with the service provided by Ray and the boys. Despite being a smaller job, Ray was happy to come out and give me advice and a quote. This quote was quickly accepted by EQC and my frontdoor was repaired. It had previously been unusable for a few months. I like the fact that RW Steele Builders is a smaller company, as communication is alot easier than with those large faceless companies. Ray has vast experience and it was comforting to have someone come who was willing to help. Ray and his father built my family home 33 years ago, and it is nice to see him continue with his son. Will definately use RW Steele Builders Ltd again."

    "I sent this email to Ray after the job was finished because we where so impressed.
    Ray,
    Just to let you know how please we are with the Job you have done, real old fashioned workmanship and will happily recommend you to anyone.

    You will be the top of my list for any future work on our new house etc (We are moving to a small house)
    Cheers John & Robyn Reinke

    Further comments:
    1. He came within a day of contact to give me a quote which I received next day in writing and he informed me of when he could start the job and how long it would take.

    2. After acceptance of his quote he made contact and advised what time he would be there.

    3. When I came home at lunch time on the first day the job was well underway and I asked him to do a couple of extra jobs which he was happy to do.

    4. On the second day after he had finished and he and team left, My wife and I walked around the jobs that he had done for us and we where impressed with the workmanship and as we had weatherboards replaced he had scribed in the end board, which takes some skill and patience and the finish was great as he had sealed it all up and put a coat of primer on hence the email above to Ray.

    5. When they left they took all the rubbish from the repairs and left the area clean and tidy.

    We would have no hesitation in recommending R W Steele Builders Ltd

    Great Job, Good Price.
