Highly recommendedCannot recommend Nick from Grout Pro more highly. He is professional, tidy and friendly. He did a great job fixing and regrouting a broken step, and resealing and cleaning bathroom tiles. This is the second time Nick has done work for me and I have been very happy with the results both times. Show reply

My husband had his windscreen replaced here 2 months ago and was asked the exact same thing. We didn't take up this 'offer/opportunity' as the wipers did not need changing. I would've expected some transparency about this. Maybe they we being honest?? I dunno.

Once the job was completed I was appalled to see th... Read moree end result. Big healthy trees nowhere near the fire debri were uprooted and badly damaged by their machinery. Retainer walls knocked down and not fixed, bricks and steel posts left sticking up out of the ground and lots of other debri just left laying around. To make it worse the contractor returned to do a better job however the trees and most of the other mess were just left there STILL. I have had to pay someone else to do a clean up. I was reimbursed $500 to replace a twenty year old tree . I would never recommend this company to anyone. After the distress of losing everything I own in a fire, dealing with this company was another trauma.

I love how easy it is to open them. The updated style is nice. The look of them is good.

Today I'm ordering another 6 windows and a door with Jared. Back in 2021 I ordered 7 windows. It's best for me to go bit by bit.
I have retractable flyscreens which I like.
The best things for me are the looks and the reduced noise. It has reduced the noise. The noise reduction is excellent. You notice the noise reduction. Considerable improvement. Especially around New Years. Reduced noise by 90%.

deck into a hotplate (note, "floor is lava" is only fun when the floor is not, actually, as hot as lava), or when it's raining, or when the frosts of winter transform the deck into a beautiful, but deadly, slip hazard for ladies of a certain age. "We need a roof!".Installing our Smartkits flyover roof has been a game-changer for us, and the children. Design and
ordering was so easy, with great support and advice from Smartkits. Delivery was timely and fuss-free and the kit was installed by a local builder, who was impressed by the design and ease of construction. The difference made to our space was immediate and profound. Now we really do
have a wonderful deck that is functional and used every day in all weathers. Smartkits has unlocked all the potential of our lovely outdoor space, providing the ideal environment for art, reading, social
learning and sun-safe play for children, who grow clever and confident in the great outdoors. Smartkits - helping us raise smart kids!

False and misleading building condition reports - just a bunch of re-design ideasHad a building report from these guys on a 25 year old property. They filled the report with stuff that was irrelevant to the property itself. The main points centred on ignoring the building codes in use when the property wa... Read mores built and focused on scaring the reader into thinking costly redevelopment was needed to make the property habitable. They mentioned lots of A.S. (australian Standards) that only relate to current NEW home builds, trying to cite that they are required by law for existing home buyers (for example ‘thicker window glass is required on all windows’).
On top of this classic scare tactic, they use to supposition and make up hypothetical scenarios about the cause of a specific observation in an effort to troll for extra business over and above a condition report (i.e. ‘this may have been caused by…’), with no factual evidence o back this up.
An indication that they are not focused on facts is their report criteria. For example, if a component of the house is something that requires regular maintenance they report it as a ‘minor fault’ (for example a 10 year old wooden paling fence was in my report as being a ‘fault’).
The report also listed a small garden shed (1.5m x 1.5m) as being a ‘major fault’ due to it having no plumbed guttering.
We also notice that the inspector’s own vehicle was parked over the main drain in the driveway but the report listed ‘no drive way drainage’ as a major fault.
Do yourself a favour - steer clear of these guys. Get a local person with real building credentials to perform the building report, focus on the facts and don’t get scammed into thinking that a property needs to be totally ‘Architecturally redesigned’ to be fit to function as a comfortable home. If on the other hand you want to build from new and have the money to spend on a costly design advisor then go for it.
