Hayley & Rhys"We recently had Guy and his ream construct a roof over the deck of our new house. He was pleasant and punctual on the site visit and made a number of suggestions on how it could be achieved. His quote was very reasonable and his timeline was stuck to. We are very happy with the result and recommend him to anyone looking for a similar job."
Steffan D."We recently engaged Guy from Rowdy Builders to repair a wooden fence blown over in strong winds, and construct a medium size deck at our property. From the outset, Guy was professional, approachable, and communicated extremely well, keeping us updated on progress and ensuring we knew what to expect at each stage of the project. The quality of workmanship was outstanding. The fence repairs were completed to a high standard, and the new deck has completely transformed our outdoor area. It is clear that Guy takes pride in his work and pays attention to detail, delivering a finished product that exceeded our expectations. We are extremely pleased with the result and would not hesitate to recommend Guy and Rowdy Builders to anyone looking for reliable, skilled tradespeople who deliver what they promise."
Steve C.Fence replacement in Palmerston North is usually triggered by a fence that has been patched too many times. Posts have rotted at the base, panels lean after each storm and the whole thing looks tired from the street.
Replacing a fence is more than removing the old one and standing a new one up. The line, the levels, the neighbour and what goes in the ground all matter. We handle the removal and the rebuild as a single job.
Push on a post. If it wobbles or crumbles at the base, patching is not going to hold.
More than a couple of lean points usually mean the whole fence is failing.
If you have fixed it two or three times, the money is better spent on a new fence.
A new dog, a new pool or a new deck can change what the fence needs to do.
A tired fence drags down the whole front of the property.
We pull out the old fence, take out posts and footings where needed and clear the waste. Then we build the new fence on the line you want, at the height and style you choose.
Removal is a separate line on the quote so you can see what it costs. If you would rather do the removal yourself, we price it that way.
