Good words.
From good people.
Tim and his team were completely professional from start to finish. Great communication and our kitchen renovation was completed to a very high quality and on time. I will certainly be using RG carpentry again if we undertake further renovations.
Lisa DugganVERY happy with Tim and his crew's quality of work, price and communication. The time frames were tight with the painters, but Tim delivered on time and in budget. We wouldn't hesitate in using Tim and the team again. Dave 🙂
David HoskingI've been using Tim's building expertise for years and most recently completed a complex renovation job which had many moving aspects. Tim would make the time and effort to ensure I always knew what was happening and made communication very timely and project management seem effortless. Highly recommend 🙂
Rishmi MaganVery happy with work completed by Tim. Would recommend him without hesitation.
Ross BrennanPrompt quote and great solution for a problem that was driving me nuts – at a good price. Delivered when he said he would and great communication throughout. Thanks Tim – very much appreciated.
AMRAll dealings with Tim and the team at RG Carpentry have been outstanding, a great display of professionalism and high quality craftsmanship. If anyone is looking for a company to carry out work at their home, I couldn’t recommend RG Carpentry enough!
Bayley TheodoreI have met Tim and communicated with him several times about prospective work. He is approachable and friendly in person and his communication is very responsive, clear and professional. From what I have experienced with him myself, and with the benefit of seeing a deck he built for a neighbour, I have recommended him to family. All the best Tim.
Michael de StacpooleVery good to deal with!!
Hayden DavisI highly recommend Tim ; He stepped in at relatively short notice to fix a rotten barge board discovered by my painters. It was a tricky job and it was accomplished quickly and very efficiently. Tim's communication and attention to details are exemplary . His costing is reasonable.
