Real feedback from homeowners we've helped across East Auckland.
“Good job at reasonable price.”
“Really happy with Rinat’s service. He was very friendly, professional, and did a great job. He was easy to communicate with, worked carefully, and was very helpful throughout. Would definitely recommend his services and would be happy to use his services again.”
“Excellent service from Rinat / Handyman Botany. He offered a very reasonable price, replaced the wet Gib boards quickly and skillfully, and went the extra mile to fix and plaster a Gib board on a warped frame, getting it to look perfect after painting. Great communication throughout the job and excellent attention to detail. Highly recommended!”
