Testimonials

From the moment we met Craig, we felt confident that he knew what we wanted…..and he did. The workmanship is superb and we are thrilled with the end result. We were also impressed with the way all rubbish was cleared away and the site was left clean and tidy each day. It was refreshing to deal with a tradesman who kept us informed of the progress and was punctual and reliable. We won’t hesitate to recommend Top Shelf Carpentry to anyone who needs a carpenter.

“From the moment of initially contacting Craig to design and build our new pergola, Top Shelf Carpentry have been an absolute dream to deal with. Craig was always on time, communication was first class and the workmanship is everything we could have hoped for. We look forward to many years of enjoying our new pergola and wouldn’t hesitate to contact Craig again for any work or refer his services.”

The daunting task of a house extension was made so much easier with Craig from Top Shelf Carpentry  We went out to the market place for quotes, over 15 companies attended with a return of only three quotations. Craig’s quotation was clear and priced fairly, so we employed Top Shelf. The project went smoothly and on time especially with a roof off this is important. His honestly, flexibility  and communication was top shelf! I would recommend Craig to anyone considering an extension, he knows what his doing”!

“We sourced Craig from surfing the net.  His website seemed to good to be true but we decided to obtain a quote for an outdoor entertaining area and completed the online details for a quote.  Fairly quickly Craig phoned and organised a time to come to our address and gave us a quote.  From the moment we met Craig, we were very impressed with his friendly manner and although we had some ideas on what we wanted, Craig was very helpful with suggestions on ways we could make the most of the area we were using.  Even though we had a delay with getting our permit, Craig and Olivia kept us informed and up to date.  When the permit finally came through it was on to building.  We couldn’t wait to get home and see each days progress and it didn’t take long for our project to be completed.  We are very pleased with our outdoor area and have used every opportunity to get outside, fire up the bbq, sit back and relax and enjoy the lovely views we have.  Our friends have come round and commented on the wonderful job Craig did.  We would have no hesitation in recommending Craig for his excellent customer service and quality of work”.

“Our building experience with Top Shelf Carpentry was excellent! This company is so professional; we thought it was a national franchise! Unlike other builders, Craig always arrived on time, working methodically and efficiently to produce an exceptional result in a timely manner! Even when there were permit delays, we were regularly contacted by Craig to keep us informed regarding the progress of the project.

“After sourcing a couple of quotes for my deck I hired Craig. As well as providing a competitive quote, Craig arranged to do the job faster than I had anticipated, then completed it in record time and to MY high standards, (not easy!) and still found time to discuss options for my ongoing needs. He maintained a pleasant and professional demeanour despite the pounding rain and provided care instructions for the new timber…I now have a lovely outdoor room, to the envy of my neighbours!”

“From the first initial time you came out to our home to quote, you made us feel completely comfortable that you knew exactly what we wanted and you were on the same page as we were. We were very impressed with your patience, from the first time you came out to quote we didn’t give you an answer for many weeks and you never put pressure on us to make a decision (as other companies did). Your professionalism and attention to detail is second to none. We were amazed how fast and efficiently it all came together, and was well and truly finished in the amount of time you allocated. You created a whole extra living area and as you know with small children, that really helps. We have had some of our friends come around to see the extensions and comment how good it looks, and say that the door you put in that leads out to the pergola looks like it has been there since the house was built, not just an add on. We would be pleased to use your services again when we do any more work to our home, and we will not be hesitating to recommend your business to our friends and anyone who wants a great job from a professional business.”

“Craig Ingle from Top Shelf Carpentry was recommended to us by a family member and it was the best recommendation we have had. Craig’s work ethic, promptness, fairness, honesty, politeness, cleanliness and hard work have had us finding more renovations we would like to undertake. Such a difference from so many ‘tradesmen’ made the time the building of our bathroom and laundry far less stressful than ever imagined. Craig is an obliging and good carpenter who can also turn his hand to other trades. He will be doing us a new kitchen as soon as possible.”

On recommendation we spoke with Craig about decking, fencing/gates and a letterbox. He promptly met we us and discussed our options and give us some very valuable suggestions. He was there to complete the job as soon as we gave him the nod that we had the keys. We were extremely happy with the job he did. He was professional, fast working and left the site very clean and tidy which more than you can say for all other builders we seem to have crossed. Excellent work!
