"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."

"Ray and his guys were fantastic. In the course of 10 years doing up my house I had a few dodgy workmen through and just wish I'd found Ray earlier. The quality of the work was top notch. 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!"

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.

"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."

"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."

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.
