"We asked Pete to quote for decks to improve two areas of the garden. He advised that one was not suitable for a deck and suggested an alternative approach, which we accepted. As other reviewers have said, he is very experienced, he listens to what the customer wants to achieve, designs the solution in conjunction with the customer and is flexible. He arrived each morning when he said he would and did a good day's work each time. If all builders had Pete's work ethic, the profession would have a much better reputation! We were very happy with the results of his work and would happily recommend him to anyone who is looking to have decking or landscaping done."

"As an engineer and project manager myself, I'd say Pete is a miracle worker when it comes to building decks. He brings to the project skill, experience and commitment. Nothing but quality workmanship. Easy to talk to and engage with. We are very pleased we got him to build our deck, as will our baby grandson who will get to play on it very soon."

"Pete replaced my aging Deck in August and from the first contact to the finish it was a great experience. Pete visited and discussed what & how he would do the work and I was impressed as how he explained it so clearly. He turned up on the Monday and the job was finished by the Friday. Awesome job as promised. He also did a small fence for me (a one day job for him) which is great/perfect. Recommend totally to anyone needing decks or other building projects. Thanks again Pete!"

"We got quotes from a number of companies to renew our deck. We chose Pete and was really happy we did. A nice, approachable guy. He provided good ideas about what needed to be done, and how he'd do it; a quote including some drawings, so we had a good idea of his approach; great communication during the job about when he'd be onsite; and he took due care to work around our house, and pets. We're really happy with the end result, so very happy to recommend Pete.""

"Pete came highly recommended to us as 'the guy' to do our deck. On review of the comments on this site and the general comments we had heard - we were happy to give him a call. And man, were we happy we did!

Not only is the deck an outstanding quality and gives us that indoor / outdoor flow we wanted - dealing with Pete was also a pleasure. A great guy to talk to and we never felt we were putting him out by asking heaps of questions to get the deck just right. Pete's input was invaluable and has left us with the perfect space for our property.

Towards the end of the build, Pete brought around some sample pieces that he had stained which made the whole 'choosing a deck stain colour' process that much easier for us. It was these little touches that made a huge difference.

We couldn't recommend Pete more highly!"

"Pete did a new fence for us late last year. He had great ideas on style and design for the situation we had. He was very easy to deal with and communicated well, especially when he would be on site and if he wouldn’t be there, usually weather related. He worked hard while on-site and cleaned up after he’d finished. We would not hesitate to use Pete again."

We could not be happier with the finished product. One of his many strengths is his fantastic communication and the work was completed far faster than we expected and to an exceedingly high standard.

"Peter did a full replacement of our deck and improved the design and features, including built in seating and a privacy screen. The one (too) large step was replaced with two manageable steps and a handrail, all in wood and fitting in well with the rest of the deck.
The previous deck was over 25 years old, not proper decking wood, and I think the output of a DIY handyman that owned the house before us.
Peter was recommended by friends, and we were very pleased with the results. Very professional finish, good design and communication, and always friendly and polite."

Peter does an outstanding job and provides really good ideas and options that enabled us to work in everything we wanted. He also worked with the business that is installing some additional roofing to ensure we could get the best drainage and aesthetics for the overall area.
Very hard worker - top workmanship - so easy and friendly to deal with. A real pleasure to have at the property. Would highly recommend his work and services to anyone looking to have a deck built. Thanks Peter for another awesome addition to our property. We're really looking forward to enjoying the new outdoor space.
Would definitely use your services again in the future."

"We put our house on the market and then discovered we had some code of compliance issues with our existing deck, built 16 years ago, which involved some serious remedial work. Pete was suggested to us as the man to go to for decks in Wellington, and I'm very thankful for that advice!
Pete provided a quote and spoke with the council inspector. He was always here, on time, when he said he would be, the invoice was as quoted, and our deck has passed its final inspection. All of this was done within a very tight time-frame, as the house sold, subject to ccc.
Pete was also personally very easy to deal with, easy to talk to, and clear in his explanations of what was being done and why.
If you need any deck work done, give Pete a call. He's the man!!"

"Pete built 2 decks for us. I was really impressed with his hard working ethic, professionalism and communication. Pete was adaptable and able to accommodate alterations to our built in seating, and worked well with electrician we had arranged to install the outdoor lights. We are thrilled with the decks and the quality of them. Pete was a pleasure to have working around the property and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a quality deck."

"Contacted Pete to reinstate a 4m long bridge over a stream that had been damaged when an arborist miscalculated the fall of a substantial tree. He submitted a drawing and a competitive price, chose the best wood and completed a very well built walking bridge in a matter of a couple of days. He is a great communicator, keeping us in the loop at all times. We are delighted with the end result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pete. Hoping to use him again for a deck at a later date."

"This is the second time that I have used Pete to build a deck for my home. I did not even consider using anyone else after the outstanding job he did on the last project. Pete pulled up an old deck and replaced it with a much larger one with seating and planter boxes. The end result is outstanding and has transformed a previously unused area into a stylish and functional outdoor living space. Pete is extremely professional, conscientious, an excellent communicator and an extremely skilled craftsman. I would, without hesitation, recommend Ashton Building."

"It's easy to see why Peter has had such great feedback, he is personable, easy to talk to and has been very professional from start to finish. Although we had an idea of the type of deck we wanted, Peter has been really helpful in providing suggestions on things like functionality (stairs and seats), safety for our kids and privacy. Peter has a great work ethic; He worked tirelessly to replace our old deck with a brand new deck that not only looks great but provides a safe place for our kids to play. We also like the fact that Peter is a North Wellington local and have no hesitation in recommending Peter for future work."

One of the advantages of specializing in decks is that Pete brought decades of experience and was able to suggest a number of subtle design improvements. Very good communication throughout the build. Pete comes highly recommended by us and I'm happy to show others the deck if they're looking for examples of his work."

"Peter was our knight in shining armour.
We had a deck built just under a year ago by a cowboy builder, (didn't know about this website then). We contacted Peter to ask for help and advice. He came out and inspected the deck we had and gave us various alternatives along with some really good advice about how to spot quality vs shoddy products. Peter gave us a very good quote for the work and was able to start very quickly so we could have it sorted fro Xmas. The job ended up being much larger as the whole frame needed to be redone. Peter was professional throughout and his standard of work and client care (human and four legged) is exemplary. We would highly recommend his work, wether it is a new deck or fixing up an old one."

"After reading reviews on here about Pete Ashton we knew we only wanted him to build our deck. We had also been recommended on “Neighbourly” that he was the best. Pete came and gave us a quote really quickly and then completed our deck in under 5 days. His skills and workmanship are unbelievably good and he was so easy to get on with - even our very nervous dog loved him!! We would not hesitate to recommend Pete to anyone wanting a deck built. Another impressive attribute was that Pete was so tidy!!! After the deck was finished you wouldn’t even know he had been there building!! We absolutely love our new deck and this summer will be the best ever. Thank you ever so much Pete."

"Pete solved a very long term problem for us with the sloping corner of our section. He put a post on neighbourly advising that due to a delayed contract he had some time available if anyone wanted some work done. He came very promptly to advise what we could do and quote. Then the delayed job re-appeared and the weather gods had a very damp few weeks. Pete was worth waiting for – we now have a sizable outside room.
His subcontractor with the mini digger was amazing to watch – in through a 700mm wide gate, with great care of the drive, lawn and house and by the end of the morning a large skip bin of dirt and the basic deck shape dug out.
Pete’s work is fast, accurate and very tidy. The work area was cleared every day. A few unexpected tweaks needed to deal with some challenges, cheerfully advised, agreed and actioned. Start to finish in less than 5 days. We’d happily recommended.Pete . What a quality job!"

"We contacted Pete to give us a quote to get a large deck built on the front of our house. We wanted something a bit different, and Pete came up with a couple of designs for us, he also had photos of previous decks he had built. We were very happy with the deck, it turned out to be quite complex with it's different platforms and stairs, we also had a spa that needed to be accommodated, and this was fitted into the deck really well with a trellis privacy surround. The deck meet all of requirements and Pete always explained things as he was going, bad weather caused some delays, but Pete always communicated and explained any issues as he progressed through. Pete is very professional and a great person to deal with, very helpful and trustworthy. We also got him back to fill in our porch area for us. We would definitely recommend Pete to anyone for any type of deck construction, he's very knowledgeable with deck building, and the help he provided with the design was invaluable."

He was a tidy worker, very professional and cleared the site on leaving. Peter was even able to juggle having two little dogs to deal with too and it was a relief to know he was okay with them.

"We are incredibly grateful for the work Peter completed at our property. We invited 3 businesses to give us some advice and quote for a deck we wanted built to extend our indoor living to the outdoors.
Peter had responded, visited and provided a quote before the second business even called back. After meeting with Peter and viewing some of his previous work, we opted to go with him and could not be happier. He is hardworking, honest, and would not undertake any work that he would not be happy with in his own backyard. He is meticulous, thorough and very reliable.
The advice he provided to us has given us a better outcome than we could have achieved by insisting what we would have liked. The measure of success for us was Peter showing us how he would have built the deck if this was his own backyard. Would absolutely recommend him and would not hesitate to use him again. If I could build another deck in my backyard, I would....just so that we could use him again. Fantastic local builder with exceptionally high standards.
Happy for him to use our backyard to show others what he can do, which included decking and helping us to create an area for an outdoor fire."

"Peter is fantastic! If you are considering building a deck make Peter your first port of call. He is extremely efficient and the job is completed to an excellent standard. He is great at problem solving and makes awesome suggestions to help make the finished product look amazing. We are totally over the moon with our deck and it has provided a fabulous play area for our two year old. And not only is Peter an excellent builder he is really trustworthy and a genuinely nice guy."

"Peter did a huge repair/rebuild of our car deck recently and we are utterly impressed with the results.

We live on a difficult Wellington street and our neighbors commented how considerate he was as well as many positive remarks about the quality of his workmanship.

Peter is a great guy to work with, very transparent about costs etc and his experience and skills are very evident in his work.

Thank you for the help with carrying down groceries too, in my pregnant state that was really a huge help! We will definitely be in touch about some other small deck repairs and would recommend you highly to anyone wanting a new deck or deck repair!!!"

"Pete built us a large deck early in the new year. He is an excellent tradesman and knows more about decks than anybody else who quoted for the job. He uses quality materials and provides a first class product. As I had built some of the surrounding walls, there were hardly any straight sides, but Pete fitted the deck to my walls brilliantly. He is a very conscientious and quick worker and his deck has impressed all who have seen it. We will definitely use him again."

"Cannot rate Peter highly enough. Clearly he is a craftsman with an eye for detail. The deck looks fanastic. Quote provided quickly, he had some great design ideas and the job ran to time. He is a great communicator so we were always aware of how progress was going. He even carried out some repairs on the house rather than just cover rotten boards with the new deck. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to friends."

"Peter gave us a comprehensive quote and some good advice on how best to proceed with our decking job. He managed to find a solution to straighten and stengthen the exisiting deck and just replace what needed to be replaced. He didn\'t tell us to pull it down and start again like one of the other builders! Peter did a fantastic job and worked around our requirements so the deck area was always left safe for our toddler, especially on the weekends. We would have no hesitation in recommending Peter\'s work."

"We asked Pete to complete a deck for us in a short time frame and he came through with flying colours. He is one of those tradesman who may now be considered \"old-school\" because he turns up on time and does what is required with skill , consideration and no fuss. Our finished deck was great and his clean up was much appreciated."

We absolutely love our new deck!"

"We have utilized Pete\'s expertise in 2002 and in 2010 (two different properties) He listens to what you want to achieve, and comes up with great ideas, taking into account affordability and practicality. Excellent work ethic and a great guy to just leave your house keys with and let him get on with the job. We would not consider using any other builder. Give him a call - you won\'t be disappointed!"

"Peter built a deck and stairs for us. Was very impressed with the quality of his work - amazing. He came to quote and started the work promptly, and it was all done quickly. He provided some great suggestions, and even went beyond the call of duty to fix an issue with my existing deck. He delivers on what he promises and is a great guy to deal with. Can't recommend enough to others."

Peter was really easy to deal with, came around and gave us heaps of ideas, even left photo books of examples of previous work he'd done, which was really good. He helped transform our backyard ready to put our house on the market, made what was an un-useable backyard, functional- everyone that came through commented on the deck! Thanks Peter."
