Top 20 Builders Port Elizabeth, 2025
Nice and quick service. Very neat as well.
Your satisfaction is our pleasure
Really pleasant and helpful, had solutions for everything. Professional sub contractors who went out of their way for us. We had to remove our bath to create a walk in shower as my brother is very frail. Very compassionate. I have recommended them to our townhouse complex for maintenance work.
It's very good to hear, thank you mam. You were also warm and welcoming the challenges that we experienced, was forgotten very quick because you did not make a big deal out of them. You were very supportive appreciate everything. God bless.
