Day 1; Old gates and framing removed, site made good with removal of existing concrete post and new posts aligned and concreted in. Day 2; Delivery and fitting of new gates, all debris removed and site left tidy despite the my own work in progress in the area! Would consider this company for future work or to recommend. Great team, thank y'all."

## 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.
