Want to help stop people being scammed by shoddy trade workers?

Jake from Island Bay

Send me a message for a free assessment where I can check the quality of work and advise on the appropriate pay rates for anyone working on your home.

I decided to offer some of my time to the community for this after i saw the absolutely appalling job that a couple of shoddy gardeners did to the garden where i am renting.
My hope is that I can help prevent even a few people falling prey to scammers that overcharge for unskilled work, and often target the most vulnerable in our community.

I recently started up my own garden/home maintenance and renovation company and have over a decade of experience across a large variety of trade fields. Due to this i can give advice as to price and expected work quality across nearly all home trades.
I would also like to make it clear that i am offering a string free service, and my intent is not on gaining clients (hence why i am not mentioning my companies name).


I would also like to call out to any other tradies that might like to offer a little bit of their time to join me in helping safeguard our community from shady companies that tarnish the reputation of us all.
