What our clients say
It’s so rare to see this level of thoughtfulness nowadays.
The Shade n Sails on-site guys were very personable ‘easy to get along with’ – organised and worked well in getting the job done – ‘they also cared about what was happening on the periphery of their works – taped off their work zone etc” cleaned up after themselves and left the site secure – a testament to your business culture.
Very careful during installation doing a very neat & tidy job, well done!
Can you please pass on to your whole team that we've been pleasantly surprised and we greatly appreciate the excellent service we've received. Right from quoting to installation, whoever has been onsite has been great, taken the time to discuss and explain any questions we've had about options, and been very careful during installation doing a very neat & tidy job, well done! It's been a very appreciated change from what seems to be the disappointing "normal" accepted level of poor service from tradies these days, keep it up 😉
