Zane Gerrie
Matt and the team built our dream deck and we're really bloody stoked. They were really helpful from first contact through to completion. All 4 of the staff were very patient with my small children who wanted to help at every phase. I brought Matt a hand drawn idea and plan straight out of my head, he was able to turn that into the now most used area of our house. Since then I've gone on to use Total Renovations as our go to builder in my roofing business and happily referred lots of work to them. Very professional, great communication and great quality work. P.s This is only phase 1, we still need to get them back to do the stairs and either side of the house. Reply: Thanks so much for the fantastic review, Zane. We're thrilled your hand-drawn idea became the most used area of your home and that the team could be patient with the kids. We really appreciate you choosing Total Renovations as your go-to builder and for referring work from your roofing business. We look forward to returning to finish the stairs and sides of the house and to delivering the same great communication and quality.

We used Matt and the team at Total Renovations to put in some new double glazed windows and doors. We were sick of previous builders quotes always running over and jobs taking forever and were really happy that this was not our experience with Total Renovation. They even agreed to a fixed price so we knew there would be no surprises. Even when the installation threw a few unexpected curve balls the solutions were found quickly and executed well. The job was done in just over a day. We will use Total Renovation again Reply: Thanks Jodi, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're glad Matt and the team delivered the fixed price, handled the unexpected issues quickly, and completed the installation so efficiently. It’s great to hear you were happy with the outcome. We look forward to working with you again.

We used Total Renovations for external renovations, carpet, and paint. Everything was smooth and on time. I dealt with Matt—he’s an experienced guy who knows what he’s doing. I would definitely go back to them if required. Reply: Thank you, Ravinder. We’re very glad Matt and the team delivered smooth, on-time external renovations, carpet, and paint work. We appreciate your trust and would be happy to work with you again. Please contact us anytime if you need assistance.
