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.Lifestyle block fencing around Palmerston North is a different job from a suburban boundary. Runs are long, ground is uneven, and the fence needs to keep animals in or out, not just mark a line.
We build residential-scale rural fencing: post and rail, driveway entrances, paddock boundaries and house-paddock fences. We are not a farm fencing contractor, and we will tell you if your job is outside what we do.
Treated posts and rails for paddocks and driveways. Looks good and works for horses and larger animals.
A neat fence between the house yard and the paddock, with gates where you need them.
Gateposts, wing fences and gates that suit vehicles and stock.
A fence that keeps kids, dogs and pets in or neighbours' animals out.
Post and rail at the front, paling at the back, and something stock-safe in between.
Soil, drainage and slopes vary a lot around the edges of Palmerston North, from free-draining river flats to heavier clay on the terraces. That changes post depth and how we deal with wet ground.
Access matters too. We check how machinery gets in, where deliveries can go and whether anything needs to be moved before we start.
