Thinking of hiring a Tradie?

Consumer Protection

Thinking of hiring a local contractor to do some renovations on your house? A good rule of thumb is to obtain more than one quote, particularly if you are investing a large sum of money.

- Do you know the difference between a quote or an estimate?
- Will you need to hire multiple contractors?

Without your assistance, I would probably still be fighting with those stubborn lug nuts. I'm all in for women doing things for themselves, but sometimes (like with bloody lug nuts tightened at a mechanics that just won't budge!) we all need a helping hand. So thank you so much for your time and help, I'll be sure to pay it forward and hopefully if you're ever in need, someone kind and helpful will aide you too. THANK YOU!
