Poor service Poor workmanship
Warning Warning Warning. Beware of AJ Grant.
After the recent Hail Storm event AJ Grant were chosen by our Insurance Company to make the repairs to our house. They proceeded to farm this work out to a smaller company/contractor. After being messed around on two occasions with start dates the job was finally done but unfortunately this was not the end of our issues. Not only did they not finish the work but haven't returned for the last 4 weeks to do so. The work completed so far is, unfortunately of a sub-standard quality. I now have screws st...
Read moreicking out the side of my verandah perlins. Not ideal as this is a very high end verandah. After several attempts to have AJ Grant contact me with no luck I contacted my insurer to see if they could have them contact me. Again to date no luck. But I will not be made a mug of. Looks like Ombudsmen here we come. Do yourself a favour and steer clear of AJ Grant. Aweful customer service.- 3 reviews

Absolutely Useless
Honestly, worse company ever. Took time off work only for Len to not bother showing up. Guy named Trent would have to be the rudest most arrogant person in history.
Noticed all the reviews here are either 1 or 5 stars. Seems glaringly obvious who is writing all the 5 star reviews. I would highly recommend using an insurance company that does NOT use AJ Grant.

Not good
After waiting a very long time to arrange a time that worked with these guys through our insurance, the work that was done poorly (silicone was badly done and didn't colour match) the builder took longer then expected and when I came home from work there were items missing from my house. Haven't been able to get in touch to enquire about it. Obviously unimpressed

Unempathetic at a time of crisis
It’s incredible that you’d need to fight for alternative accommodation when you have pets and there’s work to the most part of the house. Insurer had no problem with it

Don’t let them near your home
Same as Phil, they under quoted our repairs by about $4000. Their scope of work was missing items but they or the insurance company would not listen. They have been out three times and the quality of work is disgusting, we’re in the process of trying to settle but we are going to be so out of pocket as we have to replace even more than the original damage to get rid of the mess they made.
Hi Dianne,
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We are disappointed to hear that the quoted repairs were not as expected. We would be keen to investigate this further for you to u...

Avoid like the plague
If your insurer uses AJ Grant’s, I’d recommend you change insurers. Just like other victims here, we’ve found them to massively under quote works. You will not get a fair settlement from your insurer if they become involved.

Very Dodgy Please ask your insurance company not to deal with them.
Be warned! Do not pay your excess fees to them and instead ask your insurance to recommend a different company or find repairers yourself and ask insurance to deal with you directly.
Damaged Garage Door. They were very quick to send their people to assess and do quotations/scope of work.
I then paid the excess directly to them and signed the scope of work after my insurer, Westpac/St George had approved the repairs. Then they started all the delays with poor excuses.
My garage door is a Steel-line and the AJ Grant guy who was handling my repa...
Read moreirers advised they would use B&D brand which meant changing the door, motor and everything else. I was advised someone from B&D would contact me sooner but few days passed and no one would contact me. I asked AJ Grant and they said they were still getting quotes from tradies... I was like 'wait, what tradies... I thought it would be B&D?' In the meantime they had already sent a huge bill to my insurance. I asked them to refund my excess and I called my insurance who agreed to pay for the repairs directly to me as I was going to use Steel-line and they advised AJ Grant to refund me my excess. 7 days passed, no refund from AJ Grant and not even an acknowledgement of receipt of the request for the refund. I contacted them again and the response was "we have advised our accounts department to refund the excess and they will be in contact"... Hello, but it's been 7 days, please explain why I have to chase you to get my refund? It was the obvious the strategy was to find cheaper tradies to do the job and then pocket the big difference from the insurance company's pay. And since they already had my money sitting in their bank account and generating profit, there was no rush on them to refund me.Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to prepare this review.

Disgusting communication and bad repair work - DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!
Youi had AJ Grant attend to the repairs of our hail & water damaged home. There were so many issues from so many issues surrounding the paint work to broken ducted air tubbing in our rood, using our personal Dyson vacuum to clean up gyprock, dents & chips to furniture, etc from their contracted out workers with no overviewing from AJ Grant during this process. Then there was the building contractor from AJ Grant who was absolutely disgusting. There was a lack of communication. We were not asked questions or offered inspections during the whole...
Read more repair process. When it came to questioning the work after moving back in to our home, there was an excuse for everything we pointed out, or even pushed back on us which is absolute crap! The utter disrespect and unprofessional manner has caused extreme stress and anxiety during an already hard time. I would never recommend this company and recommend that you stay away! If they are assigned to your insurance repairs, demand another company before they do more damage to your home - and yourself. They have no compassion for the work carried out or homeowner, just in it for the insurance claim.Find out how AJ Grant Group compares to other Home Renovators

Disgusting service
Aj Grant were originally prompt with service until I questioned their sow and report. Now they will now not toward on documentation to my insurer, nor return calls, or emails. They are not responding to my insurer and now a compliant has been lodged. Poor service and management of claim let alone trying to rip us off with not quoting for works that should be included. Advice request another builder if your going through a claim. Appaulling service, be warned.
Highly incompetent and dodgy
Absolute garbage. I don’t know if this is the MO of the company (also going by “HOMECARE REPAIR”)... or it was just this one clown in particular, that worked for the company, that I had to deal with.
On top of being illogical and incompetent, he refused to give me a quote for works unless I first pay them well over $1000, for simply organising someone ELSE to come to do a mould assessment of the property. Highly incompetent... or deceptive. It’s at least one or the other.

We got nothing out of AJ Grant but lies and false promises
AJ Grant were contracted by our insurer to perform restoration on our home after a burst pipe caused flood damage. Their representative seemed friendly and helpful and we felt like we were in good hands.
A flooring contractor was booked to come and measure. And then another, and then another. We’d have one flooring company booked to do the work and the next thing another would call to say they’d were doing the floors now. No explanation, clearly just AJ Grant shopping for a better price.
After our flood in July, they promised us we’d ...
Read moredefinitely have everything done by Christmas. And then no word and they ignored our calls. We contacted Allianz who informed us that AJ Grant instructed them that we wanted a cash payout, which is a complete lie. Now they are harassing us to sign off that works are completed, when out of $17,000 worth of repairs they were contracted to undertake they have replaced one vanity unit!- 4 reviews

Stay away!!!!
AJ Grant were given the task to evaluate scope of works and repair costs after our HWS system burst and leaked water all through our house. We woke up to our house completely flooded at about 3am, there was about 20-50mm of water through all our bedrooms with timber floors, all our kitchen, hallway and laundry cupboards had water in them.
They came to our house and spent about 20mins looking around, measuring every now and then and then left to supply a quote to our insurance.
When our insurance sent us through a proposed settlemtns amount whic...
No call at all company.
Still waiting to get a call from them in regards to a work order to repair my toilet and other works. 1 week on and no one has even called me. They must be so busy they don't want more work? Pffft from all the bad reviews I have read it's a wonder they still operate.
