"Adam did a wonderful job repairing my storm damaged fence. He was very meticulous and checked the undamaged section of the fence as well in case he found any area which needed attention. I would highly recommend him."

"We highly recommend Adam for anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and professional renovator.

We purchased a house in early August and had a few items we wanted to change. After looking for a local renovator, rather than a traditional builder, I came across Adam through positive reviews, and I’m so glad I did.

From the moment we reached out, Adam was quick to respond and arranged a visit within the week to assess the work and provide a quote. He offered expert advice and made great suggestions where needed, demonstrating his vast experience in house renovations. Throughout each project, he kept us well-informed of any changes to timelines or costs, which made the whole process much smoother.

Adam’s attention to detail is second to none. He arranged any sub-contractors required and ensured he was on-site to oversee and assist if necessary. One thing that really stood out was how meticulous he was about tidying up each day before leaving – a small but significant gesture that we truly appreciated.

The quality of work Adam has done for us has been outstanding.
Adam is an exceptional professional, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. His high standards of work and dedication to getting things right for the long term gave us complete confidence in the finished product. We’ve already started planning our next set of renovations with him in mind, and he will be our go-to for any future projects."

"I bought a home that needed a few repairs done urgently so I could get tenants until I could move. Adam was able to prioritise my job, completed said jobs efficiently, kept me informed daily on progress and advised me about other issues that needed attention. I will use Adam for future projects."

"Adam was an exceptional professional and comes with a high commendation. We are very grateful for the work he has done and he will be our go-to on all future projects.

The communication was excellent to keep us informed throughout the process. There was clear understanding provided on his movements, progress, costs and site security. This gave myself and the other residents complete trust in Adam.

He was transparent and willing to give pragmatic advice on best choices for the timber weatherboard repairs we were undertaking. He understood well that we wanted it done right for longevity and followed that direction while helping keep to our budgets.

As with many old houses, the more you uncover the larger the scope becomes. Adam managed this process well regularly informing us of any surprises early so we could discuss and decide what to do.

His attention to detail and quality of finish was high. We have a lot of confidence that the standard is excellent and will last.

We appreciated Adam's coaching and advice througout our DIY journey. He was very good at giving us a steer and encouragement for the parts we could take care of to use him in the most skilled areas.

For more background, the work Adam was undertaking was restoration of timber components in a 1915 bungalow. Weatherboard rot repair, sills, fascias, doorframes etc. all with tricky and bespoke replacement/repairs needing him to be resourceful.

Thanks once again for helping give our home the TLC and great attention it needed to stay in good shape for a few more decades. Many thanks, Jason & Clara."

"Adam and his team at AB Builders have done an exceptional job renovating our bathroom and toilet, the quality of the workmanship has been next level and Adam has gone above and beyond on all aspects of the build. Communication and project management has been excellent, we were always kept informed of which sub-contractors were arriving each day and at what time, Adam even did his best to fit in around sleep times for our 1 year old. I would thoroughly recommend AB Builders to anyone and rate them 10/10 in all categories."

"Awesome job, Adam and the team completed our renovations on time and to every detail asked of them. Very professional in every way, great listeners, keeps in touch with you as the work progresses to make sure you are satisfied, very punctual, well-priced and even cleaned-up after each day!! Friendly and happy in their work. They are very particular and it definitely shows in the finished job. My dad is a retired joiner and he reckons they are one of the best he has come across as he gazed his eye on their work at the end of each day. Top Service guys, will be definitely getting them back for our next project. Recommended to all, you won't regret having A.B. Builders do your next job!!"

"Excellent service on some minor renovations from Adam and his team, consistent with our previous experience on a major renovation

Adam takes special care to get things just right drawing on his wide knowledge of building options - always creative.

The other thing that impressed us was that when a small part of the job was done (not by Adam) not quite to standard, Adam gave us and immediate response to remedy it..

We have recommended Adam to others, who have also been delighted with his work."
