What Our Clients Say
"Being new to Waiheke Island, developing a relationship with skilled local tradespeople was of paramount importance to us. With a number of different projects at hand, we needed somebody who could not only listen to and implement our ideas but who could also develop those ideas and provide sound advice based on their experience.
We were fortunate to be introduced to Gene Gibson, who fit the bill perfectly. We are very pleased with Gene's attention to detail and the quality of his work. Over the course of a number of projects we've developed a strong relationship based on trust and would recommend him to anyone needing a reliable, high quality builder."

Recently we contacted Gene to ask if he could give us a quote for some renovation work we needed done on our property. We were very impressed at his prompt and professional assessment and advice and gave him the job. He delivered the work on time, on budget and to a high level of workmanship. And always with a smile. Well done Gene we look forward to working with you again soon."
