Kariba Construction
Builders in Petone

"Kelvin came out quickly to give us a quote to repair a deck, replace a deck and replace a few weatherboards. We were very happy with his reasonable quote. He came to do the job soon after we accepted the quote. He is incredibly skilled at what he does and a perfectionist in his work. Kelvin was very friendly and even played with our cats. The decks and weatherboard look fantastic now. While doing the front weatherboard he noticed the rubber around the window was out of place and even fixed that! Would highly recommend him and will definitely use him again in the future."

"Kelvin just renovated the cladding on our garage.

He is obviously a highly skilled builder (based on the finer details in the completed job), extremely professional (knows what he's doing, timely, cognisant of others time), and self driven (automatically takes care of the adjacent bits, easily missed). It's been too many years since I've had the pleasure of dealing with a AAA+ trades person who is easy to deal with, and got the job I wanted done nicely, to the tee.

Kelvin was recommended to us by a third party I respect. So glad we met him.

"We needed the garage repaired so that the new door could be installed .. Time caught up with us, and it became urgent, so I contacted Kelvin and was delighted to hear that he could do our job on that very day. It was arranged remotely, but the job was done very efficiently, exactly as we needed, in an afternoon - very neat work, that looks so good. We will definitely be contacting Kariba Construction for any other jobs that come up .. many thanks!"

"We asked Kelvin to quote on some repairs to our garage roof. He arrived promptly delivered a reasonable quote within 24 hours. We gave him the go ahead to do the work and noticing that rain was forecast he did the repair quickly to prevent further leaks. Outstanding service and we will be looking to use Kelvin and Kariba Construction in the future"

"We were very happy with the work. We were particularly happy with the clever solution to some renovations in our living room. We had 2 jobs done and both were completed very quickly and tidily."

"Kelvin contacted us and came to look at the work we wanted done very promptly. Fortunately, he'd had a cancellation on another job and could fit our job in only two days later. He did the work himself, was very easy to communicate with and did a neat, efficient job for a reasonable price. Nothing could have been simpler! We'll definitely contact him again if we need more work done. Thanks."

"I needed a fence to be upgraded and fast on a property I was moving into within the week. Kelvin met me in person to understand what I was wanting, he made excellent expert recommendations and completed the work super fast! The neighbours are also happy as the fence was done to such a high standard. I would recommend Kariba and Kelvin to anyone wanting building work completed."

"Kelvin did some renovation work at our place. He came around to discuss the job and gave us a few things to consider too. He issued an estimate within two business days and once we had decided to go ahead with the job he gave us a start date very quickly too.

Kelvin was very easy to deal with, well organised and the workmanship is of a superior quality. Some visitors recently commented on the great job that had been done.

As an added bonus he was was very good with our dogs too.

Thanks Kelvin, all the very best
Allan and Liz"
