Made to Last Group Ltd
Renovation in Pakuranga

"Since our last review, we’ve hired Aurelian again for additional projects, including a further office renovation and a complex renovation for a property sale. On both occasions, he delivered exceptional work in a timely manner. Communication was consistently excellent, and we always felt confident that everything was under control throughout the process.

Given the consistently high standard of workmanship and professionalism we’ve seen across multiple jobs, I would have no hesitation in hiring Aurelian again and highly recommend him to others."

They were quick to respond and transparent in their pricing and took our concerns into consideration. Even with rain delaying the work they still exceeded our expectations for finishing the job. All throughout the process they were communicative, kept us up to date on progress and professional. I would absolutely engage them again for any additional work that comes up."

"We needed to give our rental property a proper refresh, and Aurelian turned out to be exactly the person we hoped to find. He was reliable, honest, and straight to the point from the very beginning.

He walked us through everything that needed attention, gave us a fair and transparent quote, and got the job done much quicker than expected.

I had a rough idea of what I wanted, but they made great suggestions and helped me make decisions on layout, materials, and finishes that actually worked better than what I had in mind.

Aurelian was easy to talk to, always kept me in the loop, and made the whole thing feel pretty stress-free. The work itself was done to a high standard, and they kept things tidy along the way too.

"In December last year I had my main bathroom tiled floor to ceilling roof painted plus a new shower and cabinet installed. Had two new toilets installed one stand alone and one in my ensuite - also had new shower, cabinet installed plus painting and tiling in ensuite. Had the lino taken out of my kitchen and the carpet taken out of my dining room and had both areas tiled. The company communicated very well and they did an amazing job within a short period of time - very quality workmanship. I have since used them to install some fans in my roof in the bathrooms and some outside painting. Nothing is to small for them and they are reliable and turn up when they say they will. Another point is they are very trustworthy and honest; leaving them with keys to your house to do the job while you are at work. This company is definately my "Go To Company" from now on and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wishes to use them."
