Projects
Temporary wooden frame installed while waiting for the new fencing materials to arrive.
Supply and installation of aluminium double gates.

Double gates installed to dog-proof the customer's backyard. This project involved measuring the opening, having the gates custom-made to suit the customer's requirements, concreting the posts into the ground, and installing the new double gates.

Timber Fence

Removed the old fence and replaced it with a new 1.8m timber fence.

Timber Fencing

Removal of the old fence and construction of two new boundary fences at 1.8m high, including a mowing strip, letterbox, and gate.

Installed Rangehood

Another great job by our Sparky!

Double Aluminium Carport

6m wide x 4.5m long carport. Ideally position to keep the customer nice and dry when they step out of their car to walk inside.

Replacing rotten weatherboard

A very common issue that occurs in the older homes. When it starts off as just a 500mm replacement and it turns out to be 5x that length. It’s always a great feeling getting rotten weatherboards of the homes.

Railings on Ramp
Handrails & Balustrading Kelvin Grove, Palmerston North
5.0

I recently hired Allan from Special Solutions Trade for the installation of palings onto an existing ramp and I couldn't be happier with the results. Allan himself could not conplete the job himself instead sending a Collegue named Sam. Allan and Sam were professional, arriving on time and communicating effectively throughout the project. They took the time to understand my needs and provided valuable input on the design, ensuring the ramp was both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Absolutely stoked with Alan and Dan on this job. The day I posted the job on Builders Crack last Sunday, Alan came in and but Sunday night I had a firm quote via email It’s rained on and of but true to their word the spouting was replaced today. I fully recommend this team and would not hesitate to use them again. Friendly and efficient and very reasonable prices
