PVC Fence

Timber Fencing & Gates Blockhouse Bay, Auckland

5.0

We engaged Lawrence to build a 46 metre fence for us on our property boundary . He was great to deal with and nothing was any trouble. We changed our design at the last minute & he happily helped us to make sure this would work. He kept the job clean & tidy. The job was completed on budget. We are really happy with our new fence & would recommend Lawrence to anyone needing a new fence.

Lawrence Martin did an amazing job. My parents were looking for a true professional, and Lawrence delivered—an outstanding builder with impeccable manners. Their words say it best: "We highly recommend Lawrence Martin to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced builder. He truly takes pride in what he does, and it shows in the finished result. Thank you, Lawrence, for a job well done!" Thanks again Lawrence from Birdie/Teddy

Outside Garage (Stucco) Cladding Repair and Maintenance

Cladding Repair Massey, Waitakere

5.0

We have had a great experience working with Lawrence for the repair of my garage door. The cladding of the garage is specialised and required a tradie who is familiar with the system. Lawrence has visited the property quickly and provided us a repair plan in great details on a good price. He has started the job right as per agreed and finished the job before the schedule. Highly recommended him for your future maintenance or repair job.
