Laminate & Floating Flooring Wilton, Wellington

Arnie Fa'aaliga's, Manager AF Builder's Ltd, response to my request exceeded my expectation in timing, communication, and quality of workmanship. Excellent value for money spent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Arnie Fa'aaliga to a Third Party.

Wooden Door Replaced With New Aluminium Door

New Aluminum Doors & Windows Maungaraki, Hutt Valley

2.0

Workmanship was pretty good however the aluminium door that was provided was of low quality and had gaps and water leaks. this was shown to the builder who then engaged the supplier of the door. The door supplier was rude and confrontational. My daughter felt threatened by him and left the room during this heated conversation about the leaky door and excessive gaps quality. photos attached show this more clearly. This has not been fixed yet and I'm not happy with the outcome of this project

Kitchen reno building works / project manage

Kitchen Renovation Owhiro Bay, Wellington

5.0

Great job, initial demo and relining went well. This job included building work and tradies, but not joinery/apliances. Some delays from the joiner / bench meant the overall project took longer than expected, but Arnie handled that well, rescheduling tradies as needed.

Minor alterations to convert downstairs area into a self contained rental

Home Extensions & Alterations Island Bay, Wellington

2.0

Can't really provide any feedback. Made contact with Arnie and had a friendly chat over the phone. Tried 3 times to meet up with him at my house which didn't eventuate. First two times he mentioned being sick and when I followed up a 3rd (and final) time he never responded back, which I found strange. So overall unfortunately not a great experience. Hope things go well for him but do think there's room for communication to improve on his end.
