About:
Request a quoteI had an urgent roof issue just before heavy rains, and within hours of my request, a gentleman named Bonnie from Maitland contacted me. He had done previous work in Westlake and knew exactly how to get to me. He arrived promptly, assessed the problem, and clearly explained what needed to be done using a blow torch. As a widow who’s been retrenched and relying on rental income from a studio flatlet, I truly appreciated his reasonable quote and professional approach. He completed the job quickly and efficiently, giving me peace of mind and helping me avoid losing a tenant. Excellent, reliable service from start to finish. I highly recommend Bonnie and the Procompare platform, and I’ll definitely be using them again for future building quotes!
From the first call, the team was super responsive and rocking up right on time, so the whole waterproofing job kicked off smoothly. Their crew stayed friendly yet totally professional, paying close attention to every seam and corner of the roof. They even tweaked the plan last-minute to fit my schedule—no fuss, no extra cost. High-quality finish, great value, definately exceeded what i expected

About:
Request a quoteSecure Projects have totally transformed my roof from a faded painted embarrassment into a fantastic finish. They are without doubt the most professional Contractor that I have employed to carry out maintenance of my property at Pinnacle Point Golf Estate in Mossel Bay over the last 18 years. I highly recommend them if you require a five star service. Because of their professional service, I have now contacted them to paint the total exterior of my property and also to replace the tired bricks on my whole Patio. Thank you both, Jon Jon & Anneka.

A job which was meant to take 2 days ended up taking 3 weeks.
Everything is fine. The project took a bit longer than expected but that is how building works so there's no problem. Everything went smoothly though as a whole.

Request a quoteI was honestly blown away by how sturdy the new solid-roof carport came out. The price felt totally fair for the quality, proper value for money in my book. Every interaction with the crew was friendly and prompt; they answered calls and kept me updated the whole time. The workmanship is spotless and they finished early, way beyond what I’d expected. high-quality job all round.
