Testimonials
Hi Brad, Gary and I are so thrilled with the Outsider Shade over our verandah. You were so great the day you first came being (31 07 2019) and looked and showed us various styles and colours for what we could do, after which you measured it up and gave us a quote for what the cost would be. This morning 28-07-2019 3 weeks later, you arrived early as you said, checking on what was to be done etc, when your two other helpers arrived and you all sorted out the parts then began to assemble the posts and what went where! A Great Team the 3 of you! Later on you left for another appointment. Andreas and Ramesh continued, they are so efficient and quick and sure knew what went where and be done. Two very pleasant men indeed. After finishing they cleaned the deck and surrounds from shavings of aluminium leaving everywhere spotless. A Great Big Thanks Brad, Andreas and Ramesh. IT LOOKS JUST SO TERRIFIC!
Hi Kane & Craig. We just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you have done. We're really happy with our new outsider awning. It looks so great! Unbeatable price, high-quality materials, and excellent customer service.
