What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Handyman and property maintenance work around Rockhampton forms the core of what this business offers, with reviews pointing to jobs ranging from assembling and installing a kit garden shed to removing an old shed and clearing green waste, relocating furniture and cleaning a house before sale, and replacing decking boards. Praise that recurs concerns the effort and professionalism of the crew, with customers noting that tasks were completed as asked and that the stress of a property sale was eased. Punctual arrival is mentioned, including one account of hard work through hot and humid conditions.

Set against this, a clear pattern of complaints emerges across the lower-rated accounts: quotes that customers considered excessive for the work involved, poor installation quality, and slow or absent replies to requests for a quote. One reviewer describes a lawn weeding job where the work fell well short of what was quoted, and another reports a long wait for a response after sending details and photos. The mixed picture means experiences vary considerably depending on the job and the crew assigned. Named staff Gavin and Owen appear in positive feedback.

Ripoff merchants like other reviewers said. Quoted a job that should be max $4000 job at $8000. Poor install with a product that does not meet australian standards. Waiting for their work to be ripped out so that areas are safe again.

Quoted $250 to reseal a bath tub. Got the photos back and my god what a woeful job. Photo attached. Went to the property myself, ripped out their job and did it myself. Doesn't look pretty but at least my work is waterproof. Honestly if you need to use this mob, just have a crack at it yourself good chance you'll do a better job. Nothing YouTube can't teach you with some patients.

AVOID AVOID AVOID Ripoff merchants Was quoted a price to have my entire lawn weeded ( no time frame included in quote, just a price to " weed lawn "two people turned up for an hour with a screwdriver and a bin as tools to weed my yard. The two people sent barely touched the weeds and I witnessed one of them just ripping the tops of the weeds, after about an hour they knocked on the door and said they were finished , I said the yard was far from done and they said I would have to ring the office to sort it out. I paid them cash in good faith the problem would be sorted I rang the company to see why my yard was not completed and was told they weren't given enough time.i also sent photos of what the lawn was left like and was told they would contact me and arrange a time to do more work on the yard , I have heard nothing from them I have left messages on their answering service and have had no reply Now I have received an invoice for work which has been paid for but not completed, today months after the job was started and paid for in October but no other contact I have all my correspondence with them and they are liars, money hungry and very untrustworthy and dishonest AVOID

Gavin and Owen did a stellar job of removing unwanted items from our backyard. Taking down an old garden shed and clearing away green waste. They arrived on time and worked very hard on a hot and humid day I would use them again.

I used Dad and Daves to re-locate some furniture and clean my house prior to sale. They did everything I asked them to. Took the stress of property sale away. Nothing but praise for them.
