"John is everything we were hoping for in a builder - experienced and knowledgeable, great craftsmanship and attention to detail, tidy and professional, and really easy to deal with. We really appreciated his good communication - which included clear written quotes and invoices, as well as arranging a time to do the work.
Our job also involved moving a heat pump - when we had issues trying to arrange this with one company, he was able to step in and find a team to get on and complete the… work, which took out the hassle for us big time! John was really generous with his advice about this and other projects too.
Really friendly guy and we'll be using him time and again from now on!

"We had John renovate our bathroom and laundry. He did a fantastic job and was great to work with. He was reliable, friendly, honest and kept the communication open. He was also able to bring in the services of other professionals when necessary (tiler and plumber). We'll definitely have him on our next renovation."

"I chose The Renovator based off reviews on No Cowboys. John and his team built us a huge new covered deck. There were heaps of technical challenges along the way and John always took time to talk us through our options and get things right. We are stoked with the result! A true-blue Kiwi builder we won't hesitate to use again."

"Happy to recommend John. He was totally reliable, excellent communication and had great quality of work. Would definitely use again for future building work."
"John and Kay did an excellent job putting in shelves in four built in wardrobes in our house. They carried out the work to a high standard and left our place in an immaculate condition (having tidied up at the end). We were very impressed and would definitely use them again!"
"We employed John to extend and renovate a large room in our home which included taking out a chimney and chimney breast and knocking down an internal wall. John always communicated with us what he was doing, was punctual and reliable and did a first rate job. He came in on budget and we would highly recommend him.

"John was involved in our office renovations last year. Working in a highrise in downtown Auckland has its challenges but John worked through them all with good humour and a great attitude at all times. The offices look great and we didn't lose a day of productivity. Nice job thanks John. "
"John is a highly professional and experienced builder who gave me great advice on my renovations and the results looked flawless. He was reasonably priced and worth every penny. I highly recommend. A good honest kiwi bloke who is clean and tidy to boot."
"John has been my builder of choice for over ten years. He is superb to work with ....always calm and in control even under trying circumstances. He is super adaptable and gives me awesome advice and lots of options to think about. I am always on a tight budget and he is really good with this. I can't recommend him highly enough...I am just gutted he has left the South Island. Auckland's gain however so give him a call and you won't be disappointed!"
