    "We engaged Paul Troake Construction to carry out essential work for a kitchen / laundry replacement in our 80-year-old bungalow. It has been about 50 years since the existing fittings and appliances had been installed in the 70’s and they were worn out or no longer functioned.
    Unexpected repairs only became apparent after the removal of existing fittings were taken out, but Laurie and Andy took up the challenge and very sympathetic restoration work was completed to a high standard.
    During the period of the work, there were interruptions on site due to electricity supply undergrounding which prevented access for periods, obliging the builders to work around this. However, work was completed in time for installation of the cabinetry and new appliances.

    Paul liaised with the designer at Kitchens by Design, the cabinetmaker from Kitchen Link and the electrical and plumbing contractors, and the standard of finish was first class by all those involved in the work.

    We would be happy to engage Paul Troake Construction for any future projects and can highly recommend them.

    "Thank you vey much to Paul and his team (Laurie, Andy, Luke and Nigel) who fixed the interior walls and ceilings of my house caused by leaking from the storm damage. Repairing consisits of installing insulation, replacing plaster board, plastering and painting. All the staff from Paul Troake construction limited are very professional and carried out the work to a high standard. From day one until finish date, Paul has been an excellent communicator on the progress of the work and arranging staff to the site. All the repaired rooms now look brand new and I am very happy with the result. I highly recommend this company for house repair."

    "We have a corner property, so there was an extensive fence with gates to be put up. Paul listened keenly to what we wanted, and being the professional, well experienced builder that he is, fully delivered exactly what we wanted.
    We are happy with the final result. He has an excellent team, especially Laurie, who was onsite and overseeing things and without him, we wouldn't have achieved the great result we did. His expertise and eye for detail, was invaluable.

    "After extensive research into potential designers to help us create the kitchen of our dreams, as well as a laundry, we decided to go with Kitchens By Design (KBD) in Byron Avenue, Takapuna. We are so pleased we did as we now have a kitchen that is beyond our wildest dreams, from both an aesthetic and functional perspective. We absolutely love it! We also have a fantastic laundry that cleverly maximises the limited space.

    We thoroughly recommend KBD and in particular would like to acknowledge designer Marianne Gailer, who did superb work done on our behalf, KBD Owner Richard Cripps - including for the stunning cabinetry - and Vernon for the meticulous installation.

    We also recommend Paul Thomas and his fantastic team at Architectural Stone, who sourced for us and installed with precision the beautiful natural stone for our kitchen island and splashback.

    Paul Troake Construction’s team of builders also did great work for us.

    We couldn’t be happier with the result!

    "After seeing a lot of his signs in the neighbourhood we reached out to Paul to get a deck/retaining wall job done. Paul is fantastic to work with him and his crew got the job done to a very high standard. Very easy to deal with and immediately built trust to get on with the job. Then lead to a fence job which was done and dusted in short order and solidly built. Will have Paul back for other work around the house. "

    "This is the fourth time that we have had Paul Troake and his team do work on our home. Paul came and listened to what we wanted, added suggestions then he completely took control and organized everything for our upgrade. He was amazing, he took the stress completely away from us. The finished result is fantastic and was done within a few weeks. We have the highest respect for Paul and would most definitely recommend him on any building job."

    On meeting Paul he gave me confidence he could do the work.
    His team worked very well together.
    I would certainly use them again should the need arise.

    "Paul Troake and his team of four skilled builders recently replaced my badly built, unsafe and rotting deck with a beautifully crafted and strongly built Kwila deck.
    I am absolutely delighted with their workmanship and the look of the deck. It has been greatly admired by all my visitors too.
    Paul was a great communicator and showed the utmost professionalism as well as admirable patience as I changed my mind a few times during the building project.
    I valued the excellent advice Paul gave as the project took unexpected twists and turns as the dreadful condition of the existing deck was revealed.

    The builders were punctual, hard-working and pleasant company too. It was obvious that they took great pride in their work and rightly so as they exhibited excellent craftsmanship.

    I spend as much time as possible on my new deck now and cannot thank Paul and his builders enough for their wonderful work!!

    "We chose Paul Troake Construction to fully replace/rebuild our top story deck including some exterior weatherboard repairs & laundry room overhaul. The deck turned out to be an extremely difficult and complex job which had to go through a number of drafting, engineering & Council revisions. In the face of all this, Paul maintained his steadfast professionalism and always came up with smart & skilful solutions that confirmed he can be relied upon in those situations when it really counts (this is a rare quality going on our past experience). In the end, everything fell into place reflecting the high standards, finish & ethos that Paul Troake Construction has become renowned for. Highly recommended."

    "Paul Troake Construction Ltd carried out a major rebuild of our kitchen and family room. This involved the demolition of walls and matching some of the newly exposed ceiling with the existing 40 year old ceiling which was sand blasted Douglas fir. Paul and his staff were very professional, top quality workmanship and fitted in with the deadlines and liaising with the other sub-contractors which resulted in a first class finished product and completed on time. The site was left tidy, We would have no hesitation in utilising Paul and his company for any future building work."

    "Paul and his team undertook a very large extension and renovation for us during 2016. The project was very complex involving removal of a downstairs storey which meant having to hold up the storey above.

    Despite a lot of delays caused by council and watercare along the way, and the uncovering of various problems with the existing building, Paul and his team worked tirelessly, whilst maintaining their very friendly demeanor. Paul and his team have done a fantastic job, leaving us with a forever home that we love.

    Paul kept on top of all of the different trades, kept us well informed of what was happening throughout the process, and the quality of workmanship was excellent.

    Paul was very flexible with his timings, with the choice of materials being used, and with some of the design aspects which we decided to change along the way. Paul was extremely fair in regards to additional costs that were incurred because of the changes we made.

    We would thoroughly recommend Paul to anyone considering building work, and we look forward to working with him again in the future.

    "My house was renovated through a series of stages. The areas renovated were the entrance, living room, family room, bathroom and laundry. Paul and his staff did all the building work, the other work was managed by Paul. Some parts of the project were a challenge tackling original faults in the house however
    Paul would explain the issues and provide solutions. This made tackling those challenges a lot easier and Paul showed time and time again that he is an excellent problem solver. His staff are hard working, reliable and trustworthy. Communication by Paul was excellent and made the renovation process very transparent.

Again, can't fault Paul's workmanship, promptness, and communication. He managed to fit our job in, between a very busy schedule so that we could meet other deadlines, and even managed to handle unexpected issues with the floor as he went.
    Other builders may be available, but I'd happily wait to get the right guys on the job, and I won't use anyone else.

Paul has great project management skills, keeps us updated on progress, estimated completion dates, and gives us plenty of options to consider when scoping out a job to suit our budget. His team are take pride in doing a good job, are friendly, and respectful of our home and possessions. If a complication arises on a job, Paul always contacts us to outline the various options and costs for us to make a decision about, before his team perform any extra work.

    Paul and his team are a pleasure to work with, and I have no hesitation in recommending them to other potential customers.

    "Paul and his team did an excellent job of our kitchen, bathroom, and living room renovation. He organised all the trades with minimum fuss and managed to fit us in when our schedule changed and the job expanded in spite of being busy with other booked in jobs. The work was of an excellent quality, while everything that was being done was well explained. Paul kept very close to the original budget despite finding a number of gremlins along the way, and the team he worked with were always very polite, friendly and respectful. Would very happily recommend, and will certainly use again!"

I can't recommend them highly enough. I just hope they don't become too successful so they won't have time for me in the future. A truly exceptional business."

    "We found Paul through No More Cowboys website as we were looking for a local builder who was rated well by his customers.

    Paul was excellent throughout the whole process. He explained everything in 'non-builder English' and communicated well throughout the duration of the job.

    We had water penetration due to old cantilevered decks. Paul has fixed the problem for us permanently and properly. He is not a quick fix type of guy preferring to do the job the right way to get the right result for his customers. Having said this we felt he was also competitively priced.

    He also did a deck extension and some fence repairs for us at the same time.

    The quality of workmanship and over-all finishing is first rate. We are very satisfied and will use Paul again on our next project.

    "Paul is what is sometimes hard to find in trades people. A combination of reliable, honest, knowledgable and a producer of quality work.

    He always rings, turns up or communicates when promised, clearly knows what he's talking about, and produces really top quality work in a short time-frame.

    We're really pleased with our deck renovation, and will use Paul again when more work is needed."

    "Paul is a pleasure to deal with. He is honest and has great pride of workmanship and actually cares about your project rather than just the money he'll make (which seems to be getting hard to find these days) and he sees the job, including all the fine details, right through to the end to ensure complete customer satisfaction. He also has an excellent 'right-hand man' (Laurie) and team of sub-trades. He built a double Carport for me quickly & efficiently at my One Tree Hill property which I'm very pleased with and I've already used his services again this month to demolish a very large concrete block & timber fence. I highly recommend Paul and will not hesitate to use him again in future."

    "we used paul and his team on some indoor and outdoor renovations. inspite of some terrible weather paul and his team completed the job inside of the predicted time frame. the work itself was of outstanding quality and could not be faulted. Paul is a very good communicator and we were made aware of everything that was going on right through the entire process. little changes to the job, small issues or potential problems were brought to our attention straight away.
    Honest ,reliable and totally professional.

    I would most certainly recommend paul and his team to anyone needing building work done.

    Paul is a great communicator and his work ethic is hard to beat,

    Delivered the project on time (9 days from start to finish), his material selection was superb and the job came in under budget!

    Absolutely thrilled with the end result.- YOU WILL NOT GET A BETTER BUILDER"

    "Our house was built in 1970\'s and we bought it in 1995. In 1995 we made extensive alterations to the interior. At various periods later we made further alterations to the house by extending the deck area and upgrading the rumpus room. In 2011 we made major renovations to the exterior including a full cedar recladding, installing pink batts, new double glazed windows and ranchslider doors.
    PAUL TROAKE was recommended to me in 1995 and we have employed him on all of the work over the 16 years. He is an excellent and fussy worker and an honest person who communicates very well during the entire construction process. His advice is sound and always valued. I have recommended Paul Troake to my friends and none of them are disappointed. I would rate PAUL TROAKE CONSTRUCTION LTD. AS BEING ONE OF THE TOP BUILDERS ON NORTH SHORE, AUCKLAND.
