Grey Army

So bitterly disappointed with The Grey Army with the quality of work supplied by one of their contractors recently. Three walls and a ceiling in the garage, billed 18 hours and left with a mess to clean up.

Please be aware that the Grey Army is essentially a Hiring or booking agency, once you accept the quote they accept no liability. I have learnt my lesson and in future I will bypass such organisations and ensure I engage a tradesman who is qualified with the relevant endorsements and licenses.

Stay away from this company a complete scam so over priced its ridiculous thats if anyone turns up its a franchise company best to call Jims mowing least you know your not being scammed by outrageous trademan that pretend they are there to help seniors its not
Staff at office rude

I would like to say a special thank you to Robert and Michael Fallace from Grey Army. I have had a number of jobs completed in my home including door and air conditioner installations, various painting jobs and the most recent work was a complete kitchen replacement. Robert was always punctual, courteous, professional and always cleaned up after his work. Robert has a great eye for detail and his work was always to a very high standard. I would recommend Robert, Michael and his contractors if you need any home maintenance repairs etc.

Hi Grey Army Team,

1. Carpenter must know how to replace (Skirting, Architrave, installing Door Jamb etc..(most of the material, will be supply on site)
2. Patching the Plaster
3. Paint touch-ups
4. Flashing on the Roof
5. Changing tiles etc..
6. Caulking/ Silicone

I submitted written requests for quotes for mowing and for garden levelling. in Darley, Victoria. I also tried to call during office hours but I just got an answering machine,No response. The silence is still ringing in my ears. Don't waste your time with this mob

My gutters needed cleaning and they were badly compacted with leaves and twigs. The price and job done were excellent ,roof swept,leaves and twigs were redistributed as mulch on my front retaining area. I could not ask for better service ,well done.

I wanted a concreting job done and was promised their concreter Levi would contact me. Days later and no contact. I went elsewhere. The job was not especially difficult. Most disappointed.

Andy, an Electrician from Grey's Army (Melbourne) was fantastic! He was so professional and a real expert in his field, with many years of experience behind him. I had quite a few electrical jobs that needed doing around the house and he knew exactly what to do and offered lots of advice as well. He was so nice, reliable, efficient and friendly and a real pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend him!

I requested quote for painting gutters, eves, pergola. I had several quotes from local tradesmen (source local paper) however grey army by far the most expensive, in fact double the price of another tradesman.

My family has recently used the services of Robert Fallace from the Grey Army in Melbourne for carpentry, electrical and painting work. We were so impressed with Robert's advice, punctuality and management of our mini renovation that we actually ended up using his for a number of smaller jobs around the house. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and the sub contractors he used were all very friendly and professional.

1. In canberra, I was stood up by the handyman without even bothering to call or text to tell me where he was. DO NOT rely on Reno or Linzie to turn up. Hopeless.

I have just used te professional skills of Michael and Robert Fallace from the Grey Army. They have completed jobs at my home ranging from plastering, painting, building shelves and cupboards as well as carpentry repairs. They were professional, did their work well and on time as per their quote and I would be happy to recommend them to others, including my friends and relatives.

Never use Grey Army again. I'm left with a mess after getting painter back 3 times to fix mistakes. Short changed nearly $2,000 worth of work. Totally unprofessional contemptable lazy attitude.

We were amazed how fast we got a reply, then inspection and quote. A week later the job was done by Carpentex. George & Michael were great, very quick and cleaned up everything even though we told them we would do it. Great job and would thoroughly recommend them and we thought their quote was very reasonable.

Had my fence extended by Reno in Canberra. Fantastic job, no issues, would recommend him to anyone. Site cleaned after work completed. Very happy. 10/10 on every aspect of the job.

The first time frank came, he did a great job of my front yard, I was extremely happy with the work (although I did feel it was over priced). The second time he was over an hour late, the work on the backyard was ok for the time spent but lots of rubbish left behind. I then reached out for him to come and finish the job and didn’t hear back. So I tried a 2nd time a few days later and again didn’t hear back, tried a 3rd time a week later and still nothing. Extremely frustrating and disappointing after a string of unreliable gardeners.

Sam is an excellent painter. He fixed a problem with the ceiling, now it looks beautiful. He knows his vocation well. Painted ceilings and walls professionally. He was polite and works quickly with ease.
I recommend him highly.

Made a time with a guy to come out and quote on fixing noisy ceiling fans. I made arrangements to leave work early for this and he didn’t show up. When I called back he said he had forgotten, and we re-scheduled the day.
When he did come out he said he’d email a quote that night but I never received one. Then someone else from Grey Army contacted me a week or so later to ask how it went and I told them I never got a quote. They said they’d reallocate the job to someone else but I never heard back from anyone.
That was several weeks ago. What a waste of time!
