Speedy service!!
Donovan is extremely professional with a high degree of attention to detail. He assisted in installing blinds timeously which a previous blinds company bailed on the job. He and the team cleaned up while installing and assisted with other ad hoc assistance. I’m definitely using them for a couple of more projects which I’ve already lined up. It’s extremely difficult to get good competent people and we are very satisfied with the result. I highly recommend him and this coming from a perfectionist, it says a lot as my standards are high!
The water leak detection service by GJJ Electrical was impressive. Their plumbing expertise really stood out, and they handled everything in a professional manner. If you need reliable plumbers in the area, they are a go-to!
However, I felt they didn't quite meet all my expectations. There was room for improvement in their service efficiency next time.
On It! He phoned me like I requested and communicated with me thru out. The work was done quickly.
Very secure and competent work!
Friendly person

Respectful, timeous, and from the photos they took from the roof while they did the waterproofing job, it looks very very neat and thorough.
We Fungai of Prestige Home Contractor's very professional. They did an excellent job and we were very happy with their services. We would definitely call on them again.
He wad quick to respond, came to look at the project and quoted me within 2 days.
My only problem was that the quote was not professionally presented on a business-like document with the logo at the top. I have to cut and paste to make it into one.
