100%"We have used Karl and Lisa on several occasions to do work on our old house ranging from replacement of external doors and windows to kitchen renovations. We wont use anyone else. The kitchen renovation was completed on budget. Demolition of the old kitchen exposed unplanned issues which meant extending the scope of work. Karl is very skilled and adaptable. Karl and Lisa took it in their stride and worked through Easter and weekends to complete the job on time. The finished kitchen meets all… our expectations. Karl and Lisa work well as a team and I recommend them for any building work."Rating by: Tony Reeve | Rating posted: 18th May, 2019 | Contact: Karl and Lisa Lygo | Job date: May, 2019Tony Reeve•18th May, 2019•More details…

100%"Lisa and Karl of Built to Last Builders in my opinion are a lovely couple who work well together to achieve what the customer requires. They communicated promptly with me regarding re cladding the front of my historic home. Weather patterns meant they couldn't start on due date, However they completed the work still within time frames. The property was left neat and tidy, all rubbish removed as discussed.I am extremely happy with the quality of the work they did and will certainly recommend… their services. Thank you Lisa and Karl.

100%"I can't praise Lisa and Karl highly enough. We had arranged for them to repair a few pieces of rotting timber on a balcony deck. It was meant to take half a day, but it turned out that the entire deck was in bad shape and it all needed to be replaced. Recognising that this needed to be done urgently, as our property is going onto the market soon, they carried on and completed a three day job rather than rescheduling for a later time. They did excellent work on removing the old deck (not easy)… and installing a new one. The price was very reasonable, considering all the work involved. Plus they are really nice people. I highly recommend them."Rating by: Neil | Rating posted: 29th Mar, 2018 | Contact: Lisa and Karl | Job date: Mar, 2018Neil•29th Mar, 2018•More details…

100%"Karl and Lisa demolished the old sleepout at our bach and built a new one - which was a nearly $200,000 job. They started when they said, got it the job finished before Christmas as promised, and were really good at communicating. They gave us a comprehensive quote, and stuck to it exactly. They worked hard, and were always friendly, cheerful and positive - lovely people to have around as well as doing excellent work.
I was prepared for anxiety and tension around this project, but Karl and… Lisa made it remarkably stress-free

100%"Karl and Lisa built fences and gates for my new home to secure my little dogs in the garden. They did a very professional job, were a delight to deal with, nothing was too much trouble. They even came to finish the job on a public holiday (Anzac day). Very impressed with their work ethic and would throughly recommend them for all the building jobs you want done properly. They really do make things "built to last". A+ service. Thank you Lisa and Karl for being such an awesome team and… I am very grateful that I found you on this website.

100%"Karl and Lisa did a fantastic job on my renovation/custom built storage cupboard. Totally professional in their conduct and execution of finished product. They took out a wardrobe, dismantled a wall, renewed ceiling, replaced rotten manhole frame and custom built an amazing storage cupboard.
Karl and Lisa were fast, efficient, agreeable and helpful with suggestions and solutions. They included me every step of the way and had great communication.Thank you Built to last Builders!… 100% Recommend!

100%"We had the best experience with Karl and Lisa. We have used them numerous times throughout our renovation because we know they will do a fantastic job, get it done quickly, nothing is too much hassle and their quotes are very reasonable. They have built and installed a bath cradle for us. Replaced a large section of rotten flooring in our laundry. Pulled out all the old kitchen cabinetry and replaced with new. Installed the new benchtop (which was no mean feat as it had to be scribed to our… 1940's very crooked walls!) Installed the range hood (which was also a bit of a tricky one as the stud was too high - Karl sorted it) and most recently took out an old ranch slider and replaced it with french doors. It is so nice to have builders you can rely on and we highly recommend them."Rating by: Melissa and Bryan | Rating posted: 31st May, 2015 | Contact: Karl and Lisa Lygo | Job date: May, 2015Melissa and Bryan•31st May, 2015•More details…

100%"Karl and Lisa did a fantastic job, building us two decks, removing an old conservatory and internal wall, and extending our living room into the space this created. Their quote was very reasonable, and when one piece of the work turned out to have less required than they'd originally thought, they took the relevant amount off the final bill.
They worked incredibly hard, and nothing was a problem. The brief started out being the internal renos and one deck - two weeks before Christmas,… knowing that we were thinking of eventually adding a second deck, they told us they were ahead of schedule, and had time for the second deck if we wanted to go ahead with it now. We did, and they still finished with a couple of days to spare. The work looks amazing, it's all done to a really great standard.
"
Karl and Lisa are incredibly hard workers, friendly, helpful, and even cheerfully worked alongside the four-year-old and puppy "helpers".
Thanks so much for everything guys - you made what could have been an incredibly stressful time a lot less painful! We'll definitely be calling on you again when we've saved up for the next stage!

100%"We are happy to recommend Carl and Lisa very highly. They have recently converted a garage of ours into living accommodation plus bathroom. They are skilled and hard-working and have done an excellent job. At all times they were friendly, helpful, and easy to talk to. They not only did their own work, but organised other tradesmen needed on this job, e.g. the electrician and the plumber. And they also did a number of small jobs for us without any extra charge."Rating by: Susan | Rating posted: 29th Jun, 2013 | Contact: Cauchi | Job date: Jan, 2013Susan•29th Jun, 2013•More details…

When removing our old bath and wall tiles, he discovered we had had water leaking into the walls. He was quick to remove the rotted timber and re-line the walls for us before installing the new bath liner and bath. Lisa and Karl and both great to deal with.

100%"Karl and Lisa are great. They responded promptly to our enquiry, turned up when they said they would and quickly understood what was needed to replace/effect repairs to old weatherboards on our 1920s cottage. They scheduled the work realistically and, again, kept to promised dates. They\'re really good people to deal with and we\'re looking forward to calling on them again as the house renovation progresses. Thanks to you both.

100%"Karl and Lisa recently built a lovely kwila deck for us. They did a fantastic job from start to finish. The price was very reasonable, the quality of the work fantastic and it was completed promptly. The design and details of the deck evolved and changed slightly as the job progressed and Karl was flexible and accommodating at all times, nothing was an issue or too much to do. We are very happy with the end result and how good it was to deal with Karl, would definitely use again and recommend… him."Rating by: LJ | Rating posted: 6th Nov, 2012 | Contact: Karl | Job date: Oct, 2012LJ•6th Nov, 2012•More details…

100%"We\'d been left in a bit of a pickle thanks to poor previous building and plumbing work and needed someone who knew what they were doing. We received a flyer from Karl and Lisa in our mailbox and took a bit of a punt, we are very glad we did!
The service is really friendly and patient even towards people like us, who struggle to use the right building terminology.
So far they have renovated a bathroom, repaired a rotting exterior board and replaced parts of an interior window… frame.

The attention to detail is really good. Karl and Lisa prime the wood for painting,and the finish, which can include some plastering as well as construction, is to a high standard. They are also tidy workers. We definitely recommend them and will make use of their services again.

100%"We moved to the Kapiti 10 years ago, and after a nightmare start with another local company were lucky enough to find Karl. Since then, they have helped us with all of our building and renovation projects.
After the enormous stresses and strains that we have had with previous builders work and egos and attitudes, we find Karl and his team to be a breath of fresh air.
A very likable, can do, no nonsence guy. Quality wormanship, reliable, fast and reasonably priced.
I simply can\'t… reccomend him enough.
