"Steve renovated (read 're-built'!) our bathroom.
What was a small, basic bathroom and a separate toilet is now a single room with an amazing finish.
Steve was friendly, prompt, dedicated - taking his time to consider the issues thrown his way from an old house, communicating his thoughts and suggestions quickly and clearly.
I would recommend Steve all the way and will certainly be keeping him at the top of my list as we consider further renovations.
THANKS STEVE!"

"My sincere thanks to Steve for his prompt and excellent service. I contacted him to see if he could help with a relatively small but fairly urgent maintenance job securing a few weatherboards. At the time he was working on a big job out of town but said he would be back in Auckland for the weekend and would try to have a look at it then. True to his word he got back to me on the Friday and gave me a time on the Saturday morning when he would come and assess the job. He duly arrived at the appointed time and after an inspection he explained clearly what was involved. Furthermore, as he was going to be away again the following week to continue the job he was working on, he kindly offered to attend to my job then and there!
I was delighted to get the issue remedied so promptly, especially at such short notice and particularly on a weekend, when he was probably ready for a break! I can highly recommend Steve for his professionalism, his reliability and his willingness to fit this job in to his busy schedule. Many thanks Steve!"

"Thank you Steve for your excellent work repairing the bathroom. The ceiling was cut & removed to install ducted heating in the attic. Steve repaired the ceiling as new, from gib, to paint, to everything else.

Steve also repaired our door which was getting stuck to the floor when we try and open it, and our trelis which was collapsing due to the wind. It's so secure now nothing will tip it over.

Thank you again, and we highly recommend Steve to anyone who needs repairs or remodelling done."

"We have used Steve Shanks a couple of times over the last 4 years. The first engagement was a moderate size renovation, and more recently to construct a partition wall to create an office space.

The quality of his work is always exceptional and we have recommended him numerous times to family and friends. A family member has recently used Steve to perform their build works, and were very pleased they did - their expectations were exceeded.

Steve always ensures you fully understand what he will deliver, he is totally transparent and a clear communicator - there are never any unexpected costs at the end of a job. 

A very experienced Tradesman where no challenge is an issue for Steve, who always comes up with ideas and a plan on how to get the job done, whether it be esthetics or structural Steve always nails it!!

We have our ensuite reno coming up with Steve's name all over it.

Fantastic builder, and would highly recommend.

"Steve repaired our wooden deck at Manly Beach, replacing rotten joiners and generally stregthening the structure. The process from initial site visit and quote to completion was excellent and I can highly recommend Steve. He took the time on site to explore different options, troubleshoot and explain what work was required. He resisted agreeing to a 'quick fix' to get the work, and provided a detailed quote which gave me confidence we woudl get a quality outcome. Steve was busy in the lead up to Xmas but kept up the communications and let us know when he would be able to start, and was as good as his word. Once on site he worked solidly and completed within the expected timeframe. Througout he was straight up with us. Really happy with the result."

It seemed a daunting undertaking and there were a few unexpected hitches along the way, all of which were dealt with in a calm and professional manner by Steve and his great team. Can't speak highly enough of his workmanship and attention to detail. Was also grateful for advice on colour schemes, fixtures and fittings.

"Steve and Lara did an incredible job on our bathroom.

Our dated separated toilet/bathroom was turned into one big modern ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, vanity, toilet, including new accessories, tiling and electrical work.

Obviously Steve is a very knowledable builder but he is also trustworthy and practical, making him a rare gem.
Prior we had a few consultations with bathroom specialists, which left us unimpressed - too many ideas and over the top solutions.

However, Steve is very focused, steers you in the right direction and sticks with the budget.
His work is speaks for itself, it is always finished to the highest standard and he has a very good eye for detail and colour.

He kept us in the loop throughout the process and we could not be any happier with the result - the bathroom is stunning and everything is designed to the maximum efficiency, making most of the space and using every corner thoughtfully.

Thank you so much, Steve, what fantastic work.
We�ve had lots of compliments from everyone, including other tradesmen!"
