They arrived on time, did the job in the allotted time and left the premises nice and clean. The paint work was a little messy but they fixed that after I pointed it out to them. I had to call them back as the roof started leaking again after the next rain but they came immediately and fixed the job. They were very pleasant and honest and I would recommend them any time.
Thank you.

Request a quoteI recvd a consult from HeinrichB, IDM Solutions and what an amazing person. I immediately felt very comfortable liaising with him and laying out my dream house. He was capable of putting my vision into perspective as if I could touch it already. The fact that he is a one stop shop and I don't have to shop around to get quotes for everything else that goes with building renovations is just amazing. He has tons of patience and didn't rush through anything taking his time and explaining everything to me thoroughly as this is my first time doing this I can honestly say, if everything goes according to plan I am super happy handing my dreams over to become a reality to this gentleman and his company. Great start sir. Very pleasant and professional guy. I would personally recommend him to friends and family in the future.
