He was responsive and helpful with additional queries back and forth via phone and email. And he arrived early with his team.

100%"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."Rating by: Sheryl | Rating posted: 10th Nov, 2015 | Contact: Ray Steele | Job date: Nov, 2015Sheryl•10th Nov, 2015•More details…

100%"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."Rating by: Sean | Rating posted: 16th Jun, 2015 | Contact: Ray Steele | Job date: Jun, 2015Sean•16th Jun, 2015•More details…

100%"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."Rating by: Lisa | Rating posted: 16th Oct, 2014 | Contact: RW Steele Builders Ltd | Job date: Oct, 2014Lisa•16th Oct, 2014•More details…

Cheers John & Robyn ReinkeFurther 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.
