TESTIMONIALS
"LYN AND I HAD DREAMED OF BUILDING A HOME IN QUEENSTOWN FOR MANY YEARS AND IN 2015 AN OPPORTUNITY CAME ALONG TO BUY IN THE MILLBROOK ESTATE NEAR ARROWTOWN, WHICH WE TOOK WITHOUT HESITATION. WE WERE DETERMINED THAT THE HOME WE CREATED WOULD BE A LEGACY FOR OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILY TO USE FOR YEARS TO COME. IT WAS THEREFORE IMPORTANT THAT THE DESIGN, LOCATION AND CHOICE OF TRADESMEN WOULD NEED TO BE OF THE HIGHEST STANDARD WE COULD AFFORD.
OUR HOME WAS COMPLETED EARLY IN 2018 AND WE HAVE TO SAY IT HAS EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS. A MAJOR CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IN OUR HOUSE QUALITY WAS THE STONEWORK. AIDAN AND HIS TEAM AT PEMBROKE SCHIST ARE REAL CRAFTSMAN AND A DELIGHT TO DEAL WITH. IT HELPS THAT LYN AND I “CONNECTED" WITH AIDAN THE FIRST TIME WE MET BUT A CHARMING PERSONALTY ONLY GOES SO FAR, YOU HAVE TO BACK IT UP BY DOING WHAT YOU SAY; AIDAN AND HIS MEN DID.
APART FROM HIS QUALITY WORK, AIDAN HAS INSTILLED AN ATTRIBUTE NOT OFTEN FOUND IN TRADESMAN THESE DAYS AND THAT IS …RELIABILITY. IF AIDAN SAID HE WOULD TURN UP ON A CERTAIN DAY AND HOUR, HE DID. THAT IS GOLD TODAY.
SO IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND WONDERING, DON’T PONDER, JUST PICK UP THE PHONE, GET AIDAN AROUND…YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED.

THE DETAILING IS ALWAYS OF A HIGH STANDARD AND AS IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY THERE ARE ITEMS THAT NEED CONTRACTOR INPUT TO ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULT FOR THE CLIENT.
