What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Terry provided exceptional service from quoting, booking, building and design, to cleaning and invoicing on a shelving installation job. I highly recommend him. I'm glad I've finally found an honest and reliable builder in Sydney for my apartment renovations!

We couldn't be happier with Terry's work! He added a balustrade and handrail to our stairwell to make it safer, and it looks amazing. His communication was also outstanding. We'll definitely be using Build This Fix That again in the future!

I can't recommend Terry and his team more highly. Terry recently built a small office space in our backyard based on not much more than a sketch and we are stoked with the quality and attention to detail. Terry was quick to reply to my initial enquiry and the communication was excellent from that point on. Terry and his team are genuinely great people and went above and beyond in our project

The minute we met Terry and discussed the job we wanted done, shelving a large walk in cupboard and putting up a false ceiling, we were confident we would be happy with his work. In fact he and Costia exceeded our expectations with the finished job and we look forward to welcoming him back to do our laundry in the near future. I would not hesitate to recommend his business.

Terry did a great job replacing some rotten posts for my balcony. He was a pleasure to deal with from the start and provided several options to compete the work. Work was completed promptly and to a high standard. Highly recommend!

Terry built a banquet bench seat for me and it was absolutely perfect. He was so lovely to deal with, very communicative and professional and his work is exceptional. I highly, highly recommend Terry.

I have been wanting to built an art studio for some time, a space where I could quietly enjoy my painting. And Terry has delivered this and more. He has realised a dream and I could not have asked for a better outcome. He was always on time. He was always there when he said he would be. He planned every stage carefully and was able to build this project within a very reasonable timeframe, given the appalling weather we had. I found Terry to be an excellent problem solver, as there were no real drawings or plans, but he was able to develop solutions as the work progressed. I truly cannot fault anything that he has done. He even got on with our dogs! I not only gained a superb studio, but we also made a great friend I hope. Well done!!
