## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We were recommended Stevens Brothers for an extension replacement and could not have been happier with the standard of work. Despite running into unexpected problems along the way, Matt & Luke were great at communicating with us, reliable and were clear about timelines and expectations. I would not hesitate for a second to have them back for further work in the future or recommend their services."

> "This is the 2nd time that we have used Luke and Matt for building works and would still highly recommend them! They remain a family business, which reflects well on the work they carry out. They are reliable, have a good eye for detail and take pride in what they do. Any additional costs on top of what was agreed were well signposted and discussed before they carried out the work. Testament to their work was that after 8 months of extensive work on the property, there was only a couple of minor snags that were rectified within a day."

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
- Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
- Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
