Careless and sloppy work, aggressive owners
We engaged the owner and his team to complete our driveway, footpath and pool surrounds.
They cracked the council drain with their deliveries. The owner also drove his bobcat into our new fence and broke it but didn’t say anything to us. We were told by our neighbour and then the owner had to fix it.
They also splashed wet concrete on our brand new front door, gave it a basic wipe, and then also denied doing this. They then tried to fix it (despite claiming they didn’t do it) and then paid for the door to be replaced (still denying they did it). Go figure. This is the type of owner you’re dealing with.
We also used them to do the outdoor tiling – some of these tiles are hollow as they were not laid properly.
The owners are abrasive and rude. We would not deal with them again.
Absolutely terrible
Operates under an illegal liscence never returns calls takes deposits disappears and overworkmanship incomplete and needs to be re done
Dodgy sandstone steps and retaining walls
Very poorly built sandstone steps. Unsafe, uneven filled with significant amount morter between steps. No base for steps to be built on. Retaining walls have half blocks in various places. One end sandstone block mounted onto railway sleeper that’s laying in the garden. Building materials dumped on property. Property damage (shed) + drain pipes. Too much more to add.
Installed damaged stone, wrongly measured Island Bench
Apparently, quality checks before installation, could not pickup damage, due to them having artificial lighting, so they installed scratched, dented, clamp marks, craters, and what looks light the wrong cleaning products, leaving severe mottling throughout benchtop, a tech is coming, two months after install – island bench incorrectly measured, although they had 3d plans showing fancy hampton style decorative skirting, HVGM, have said they’ve met all obligations, taking them to Fair Trade, not once did the stone masons ask me, to clarify side panels, although the island was a different pattern design and colour from the kitchen benchtops, with lambs tongue, it should of been 32ml, not 18ml, resulting in two sides being 5ml overhang, business is rude, ignore you, put the phone down on you!! Poer tower cut out was cut too big, stone inserts is too small and full of chips!!
Good honest auto mechanic
Honest mechanics are hard to find. Fair price, but no bogus repairs & job done well.
Builder does not follow building Regulations
Built a structural retaining wall without any prior engineering or planning approval and it encroached the neighbours boundary. I’ve been left in a legal dispute with my neighbour and it’s cost tens of thousand to put right. Silk Design and Construct washed their hands with it and refused to put matters right. QBCC was involved and has found them guilty of asking for excess deposits and not supplying a contract. Do your research on the QBCC and their license number.
Be very careful and do not take their word that they will supply the necessary paperwork to build because they did not in our case. Beware This builder cost me over $50000 in costs to rectify.
Amazing from start to finish
James and his team were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Professional, easy to communicate with, very understanding, and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely use them again.
Amazing experience
We had an excellent experience working with the folks at OJ Pippin, particularly Wayne, Chloe and Belinda. From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, and highly skilled. They communicated clearly, kept us informed at every stage and delivered exactly what they promised – and on time. The quality of their work is outstanding, They went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied, addressing any questions or adjustments promptly and professionally. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend OJ Pippin to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled builder who truly cares about their clients and the quality of their work.
Keep looking if you need a decent painter!
So, we used Clift to paint the whole house, inside and out. We had numerous issues:
They used a spray gun to paint most of the house, and covered many of our windows with a fine spray that they did not remove. They also got the trampoline.
They were unable to paint between the ceiling sheets in the soffits. This was too hard to do when we asked.
They stained our front door – painting it with a deck stain, not the clear coat as requested and then denied any responsibility.
Used different paints on the internal wood feature, making it tacky, and also matt and gloss on pieces of wood next to each other.
Forgot to paint the top of the external wall.
We eventually had to lodge a complaint to QBCC as they refused to fix any problems. Only when the QBCC inspector stated he would give a Direction to Rectify did the owner of Clift Painting address the issues with the internal wood feature (this was resolved within 4 hours, in spite of taking 1.5 years to refuse to fix).
Do not use these guys. They are unprofessional, rude, take no responsibility for bad workmanship, and to top it off, left a mess when here, both when eating their lunch and also with their materials.
Quality product and professional service
We used Luke to install kitchenette cabinetry and a TV wall cabinet. He was extremely professional, timely, and the products were of high quality. Would highly recommend and definitely use again.
Poor workmanship and terrible customer service
We used this company for tiling throughout our house. A lot of the work was sloppy and had to be re-done. The kicker to the whole project was that the owner himself tiled our shower area flat and then denied that it was flat! We used an electronic level to show him that the shower had 0% fall and it was only then that he came back and fixed it stating that his level must have been broken on the day. The owner also did not insure the work through the QBCC which we only found out after we lodged a formal complaint. I would not recommend!
Professional service and high quality workmanship
These guys are awesome. Competitive quote, very helpful, workers on the day were professional and follow up service excellent. Would highly recommend.
Excellent service, friendly and helpful
We have used Wave for several jobs – Steve & his team are really helpful and friendly.
