    "We were fortunate to have Charles work on our home in early 2021.

    The project involved a full kitchen removal, an extension, a replacement window, the installation of a new sliding door and skylights, and the laying of new Matai floorboards in the dining and kitchen areas.

    Charles and his team were amazing—professional, hardworking, and a pleasure to deal with. Since we were still living in the house during the renovations, he was always considerate of our needs, ensuring we could still cook and store things until the last minute. He kept us informed at every stage, making the whole process feel effortless on our part.

    He also coordinated seamlessly with other contractors, doing whatever he could to ensure they could complete their work efficiently.

    Of course, COVID brought its own challenges, particularly with material shortages. Charles often went out of his way to visit multiple suppliers to source what was needed, ensuring the project stayed on track. He handled everything with confidence and efficiency.

    He is open, honest, and dedicated, with top-notch workmanship. We are absolutely stoked with our new kitchen and dining area and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a true craftsman and reliable builder.

    "Charles and his team have completed building and maintenance work on my house in three phases over three years. My 50 year old house had many problems and much deferred maintenance and I decided to phase the work over a number of years as my family and I needed to continue to live in the house whilst work was being carried out. I highly recommend Charles for this sort of long duration, ongoing work. As well as being an excellent and diligent builder, he and his team are very considerate and make it easy to continue to live in a home that is being worked on. Charles has completed extensive roof repairs, window replacements, wall repairs and assorted carpentry related repairs, replacements and updates on my house over three years. I am not submitting photos to Nocowboys for privacy reasons but I absolutely recommend Charles and his team to anyone who needs a tired old house to be brought back to a good standard. Charles has a network of painters, plasterers, plumbers, electricians, concrete specialists and other providers who he can call on and I have found this to be very helpful as well. I have no hesitation in recommending Charles for any house related building work."

    "Charles Kawhe built the deck at our property. The deck is very large and in an earthquake zone, so it was quite a big job. Charles was very easy to communicate with and he really listened to what we wanted. Charles was also very helpful with his suggestions on aspects of the design that we had never thought of and because of this we now have deck that meets all of our needs and also looks very appealing. Charles outlined the details of job and expenses very clearly to us so we knew what we were in for. Charles has an excellent work ethic, he was on time everyday and worked hard to complete the job in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Charles to anyone requiring building work."

    "We recently had the pleasure of working with Hammerin Nails Building Ltd for a major home renovation, including a kitchen, laundry and bedroom extension, and the addition of an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.

    From the very beginning Charles was incredibly communicative, keeping us informed at every step of the process. They took the time to listen to our ideas, offered helpful advice, addressed any concerns we had and we were updated daily on the progress, which I really appreciated.

    There were a couple of major issues along the way, mainly due to our architectural plans and us being naïve, having never done such a big renovation before. Charles and the team were able to work through them and I truly believe this is because of the many years of experience he and his team have. The quality of the work is exceptional! Our house has been completely transformed.

    The entire team were professional, polite, and respectful throughout the project. They maintained a clean and safe worksite, and I never had to worry about the process being disrupted. I really felt that they took pride in their work and cared about delivering the best possible results.

    I would highly recommend Hammerin Nails Building Ltd to anyone looking to renovate or extend their home. They exceeded all our expectations, and we're absolutely thrilled with the outcome.

    Thank you to Charles & Kea and the entire team for turning our vision into reality.

    The pergola itself is a masterpiece! The craftsmanship is impeccable, and the materials used are top-notch. The design is exactly what we envisioned, and Charles and his team brought our dream to life.

    "Charles is an extremely capable and adaptable tradesperson. We have used him on two reasonably large projects on two of our homes now.
    He completed a project at our old californian bungalow, restoring a bunch of period features that had disappeared over time; reinstating a coved, weatherboard gable end, box cornering the whole house, replacing rotten weatherboards where necessary, re-clad a 70s tin garage in decent weatherboard and attached a carport to one side of it.

    On our second property, he replaced extensive decking (0ver 2000m of 50x150mm timber) and reinforced one of the decks which was going to support a new spa pool. This was over 3 months work and over sloped grounds. He discovered piles that needed replacing and added in a bunch of new joists. He added in really nice touches on surround seating around the whole decks, and created new beautifully finished details on steps and retaining areas.

    He nuts out the best approach based on a client brief and then quickly settles into the work.

    He is exacting, and adds value along the way when he comes up against problems in the process, outlining a number of solutions.

    He is punctual and hardworking. He turns up on time, gets stuck in and works till the end of the day, or the weather turns bad, sometimes working in intense heat or even rain.

    His workmanship is precise and well finished.

    He will often appoint subbies to help and these people are good value as well.
