"Dave was very helpful from the beginning. Biggest difficulty was finding bricks to match our 1970 bricks on our Titirangi house (impossible task). We were closing in an old external laundry door on the brick base if the house. He helped with ideas and options and finding the best match. Made himself available and fitted the job in around other work and made himself available to work the weekend. Daves expereance made the brick laying look easy, when other quotes from other companies said it would be a difficult job. The end result exceeded our expectations."

"Dave carried restoration of badly cracked brick veneer. This required removing existing bricks and carefully removing old mortar so as bricks could be reused.
The work was carried out very professionally and we are very pleased with the result.
Dave is a professional contractor, which suited us best.
We would not hesitate to recommend Dave Hobson Bricklayers."

"Dave did a great job cleaning up some old bricks that I'd salvaged from the old wall that are no longer available and rebuilding some brick columns that are made to last - good solid foundations and timber post in middle with bricks tied into it. Recommended."

"My job involved putting a 1600mm x 1200mm window in a concrete block wall. David not only did a quality job, but suggested improvements to the original plans that had been drawn by my designer and engineer. His experience was invaluable in ensuring we had a better product. He was very reliable and an excellent communicator and his attention to detail both in the design and the building was great. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend him."

"Dave repaired some cracking around bricks in the front wall of our house. He also removed and repositioned lose brickwork on a windowsill. He filled gaps by our concrete stairs. He even did a few extras without charging us. He was a pleasure to have work with us, turning up on time and doing a fantastic job. We are thrilled with his work. Many thanks, Dave."

"We contacted Dave to quote us for removing and replacing several loose window sill bricks, cracked wall bricks and a broken basement vent on our brick veneer house. Dave arrived the same day and gave us an estimate which was extremely reasonable. This was followed up with a printout by email a couple of days later which was accepted and he said he would be over to do the job that Saturday morning. He arrived promptly went straight to work. We were very impressed with his friendly manner and his very professional and excellent workmanship. We couldn't have asked for a better result. Thank you so much Dave - you have our top recommendation! AAA+++"

"The first time I saw the work this guy does, I knew he was the brickie for me. The job was small (bricking in a garage door) but required skill to make it look like it was always there. When I arrived the day after - I didn\'t notice he\'d even been in. Unbeknown to me this was the same brickie recommended to me by my timber rep and one I\'d bookmarked on my list from NoCowboys. I\'ve had him on a a job of my own and as a builder I demand high levels of professionalism. D & A Hobson delivered to the highest standard. I now have a brickie I trust as Daves workmanship is 2nd to none."

"After a minor communication problem David really came through and even managed to do the job at very short notice. He did such a fantastic job that even my builder who is rather hard nosed was impressed! Although a bit more expensive than others he was well worth the additional cost as the outcome was phenomenal. Brilliant job and would certainly use again."

"David did a brilliant job of blending in the old with the new brickwork on our renovation.

We didn\'t have to chase him up he just got on with the job and worked around building and weather issues.

Great job. Highly recommended"

"Dave learned his bricklaying craft in the UK where bricks are a more common building material and this is most probably the reason for the high standard of his workmanship. An absolutely top quality job, would certainly employ him again in the future."
