The team from PBS completed installation of doors and windows as well as the interior plastering to my home renovation. I was very pleased with the result, in particular the plastering, which was completed to very high standard.
I needed a split hip rafter reinforced. Jarlath arranged a fair quote within minutes. Umer arrived the next morning and completed the job efficiently, patiently explained the work and answered my questions. It was a totally hassle free and excellent service. They deserve their excellent ratings, and I felt so looked after I did not bother to get another quote. Highly recommend this company for your carpentry needs. Thank you very much, Jarlath and Umer!
Tony from PBS came out on the same day we requested a quote. He gave us honest, professional advice and told us we didn’t need to proceed with most of the work. Reliable, responsive, and genuinely helpful — all at no charge. Highly recommend.
Umer and team did a fantastic job on our deck. Professional, polite and great communicators. Would definitely recommend and cannot wait to work with again on future projects.
Jarlath has been a pleasure to deal with. He was very friendly, on time and efficient. Good communication throughout the process. His work was amazing and we were thrilled with the finished product. I highly recommend PBS Carpentry, Maintenance Services & Home Extensions.
Incredibly happy with my timber pergola installation. I spent several months chasing up other quotes unsuccessfully, before I contacted PBS Carpentry and Jarlath responded almost instantly with a quote and answered all my questions quickly. Installation itself was super professional and efficient, Umer and his team were great and cleaned everything up before they left. Umer was even able to find a solution to work around the various conduits and obstacles in the area I wanted the pergola, so that I ended up with a finished product even better than what I had initially hoped for!
Umer is a brilliant carpenter. The results are amazing. The transformation of our dreadful concrete front verandah into a beautiful timber deck is wonderful. The team quickly and efficiently dealt with the missing stumps that they found when the concrete was removed. The new window canopy is also fantastic. Big thanks to Jarlath and the team.
