"Great job replacing my boundary fence. Pieter came rapidly to view and quote received next day. Work started as planned, adapted to unforeseen with clear communication and prompt solution. Pleasant and discreet during the time on the property, always left clean and tidy. Very happy with finished result and would highly recommend."

"Pieter always helped me make informed decisions. For example I originally thought acrylic fencing was the way to go. I hadn’t thought about how that would age (yellowing, peeling ). I’m so glad I went with the more robust colour steel. I also appreciate how Pieter went out of his way to source a colour (scoria) which was being phased out. New fence fits so well, it looks like it has always been there.
I will be wanting more fence work done, and won’t hesitate hiring Pieter again. Good job."

"Nolan and Pieter did an outstanding job building and installing our 52m2 decking around our house. An enjoyable experience from quoting until the completion of the works.

Thoroughly recommend them to anyone wanting a very professional job done by a couple of great guys who have integrity left in this forsaken building industry."

"Our deck replacement project was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Pieter and Nolan were great to work with, and delivered exactly what they said they would. When we ran into site related snags they helped with creative solutions and adapted the design on the fly. In spite of these minor detours they managed to bring the project in on time and on budget, and the end result exceeded our original expectations. Thanks guys!"

"Pieter & Nolan have done two large projects for me. A fence & garden landscaping which included paving & building raised gardens, garden screens & arbor. They are extremely reliable, their workmanship is top quality, their pricing of the projects was consistent & any additional costs were discussed & agreed to prior to proceeding. The work was completed in the time frame as promised & they were a pleasure to work with. I would use them again for future projects."

"I initially had Pieter and Nolan in to replace a fence. While they were here, they gave me a quote for a new deck, privacy screen and replacing rotten wood on my balcony. They were so helpful with great ideas, explained everything in detail and came back several times when I had queries. They never made me feel like I was been a nuisance asking questions and were always happy and ready to help.
They have know done 2 fences, a balcony and deck with privacy screen and I love it. Workmanship is fantastic, they are great to deal with and I would highly recommended Pieter and Nolan to anyone."

"We employed Pieter and Nolan to replace a very tired 45 square metre deck with composite decking over an aluminium substructure when our original builder wasn't confident to work with the Outdure product.

Firstly, the basics: both guys were completely reliable from initial measure up to clean up, they were always cheerful and easy to talk to even in rhe rain...

Secondly the job: efficient, demo was completed.quickly with minimal impact on us and cleaned up, they consulted us all the way through about decisions such as levels, shaping (the deck needed.to be cut round complex shapes including out of true walls and diagonal pathways), when the supplier under delivered our order they minimised the impact on project end date and they held true to their quote.

Best of all, the quality of their work is spot on, so much so the first thing we did was got them back to lay a new deck outside our bedroom.

Wish all tradies could be like this, lilfe would be so much more pleasant!"

"Nolan was very responsive during initial enquiries about a new fence. He did a great job with the fence and was accomodating to what we needed as well as offered suggestions. The cost was reasonable compared to others we recieved. Pleased with the result."

"Initially we had Pieter and Nolan come in to replace an old front fence, and it came out amazing. We then got them back to do new front steps, planter boxes and threw some paving into the mix. These guys were great to work with and greatly appreciated the advise and recommendations they offered during the process.
We highly recommend them at will certainly get them back."

"Blackshaw helped design and replace my deck at my rental property and were a pleasure to deal with. From taking the time to a design that worked for me and a tidy, high quality installation, everything was done to a high standard. Pieter and Nolan were friendly and easy to deal with and even when above and beyond in double checking the colour finish as a 2nd option better matched my earlier paintwork. Can highly recommend."

"We are happy with the front yard fence built by Blackshaw. Pieter and Nolan were very easy to communicate with and were able to listen to and deliver on my vision for the fence. Thanks Blackshaw!"

Communication & the rest were all excellent and we are keen to work with Blackshaw again.

Highly recommended."
