A Trade Service "BE AWARE"

Whiona from Paeroa

There is a mobile property service to be aware of.
I was handed a piece of paper and asked to SIGN an estimate of the work I had asked for them to do around my house.
I had been busy with other house hold commitments at the time. Unlike me i signed it when given to me by one of the tradies at this time.
The outcome:
1: Some of the work had not been completed as discussed
2: I recieved three different invoice prices
3: The price given was high for afew jobs that were completed
4: I have been told by registered trusted traders in Paeroa who have been working on my home about other customers having had problems with this service.
I'm not asking anyone to Reply to the above information I have given personally.
I just want to make people aware that this happened recently and if you get an estimate given to you to sign, don't sign it.
