This review is for Custombuilt Verandahs & Carports Pty Ltd, Bayswater VIC

verified email - 14 Sep 2015

I cannot fault this company as I had no trouble from the quote stage right through to the finish.
I had a 7x4m verandah built and I absolutely love it. The quality is great as was the workmanship during the build stage. They were professional and cleaned up after afterwards. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.

This review is for Custom Skylights Pty.Ltd., Bayswater VIC

I wanted 2 skylights for my cathedral ceiling in my family room so I popped into Custom Skylights to view the product range. I wanted a local company and the fact that they made the skylights onsite was a plus for supporting a local business. The staff was very helpful and a chap came out for a free measure and quote. I ordered a double glazed glass 800x1100 with a pine shaft and it was installed a few weeks later. The installer was efficient and cleaned up afterwards. Unfortunately a tiny crack appeared in the glass and over a month spread across the entire pane. I rang them and they arranged to have the glass replaced at no cost as it was covered by warranty. However they did forget about me for a while but after a couple of phone calls the new glass was installed without any problem. I would use them again when my old skylights need replacing. I just love my new skylights and wish I had them years ago.

Approximate cost: $2800

Hank and his offsider Rick have just finished painting the windows, eaves, gutters and fascias on the upper story of my home. I am extremely happy with the finished product and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone wanting a high quality paint job. When quoting the job, Hank also supplied photos and testimonials from previous clients. He also kept me informed as to the probable starting date as this was reliant on weather and other jobs.

This review is for Paesano International Buffet, Wheelers Hill VIC

I celebrated my birthday at Paesano's with family/friends and we were all very happy with the choice and quality of the food.The fresh oysters were a great hit for one guest.
The restaurant has 2 sittings so choosing the 7.30pm one was a good choice as the 5.30 sitting catered more for families. The place was pretty full so we asked for a quiet table that didn't have people walking past to get to the food.
The service was excellent and finished plates were removed almost immediately. At my request they made up a plate of cakes but the extra touch were the chocolate swirls and 2 sparklers blazing. The other service staff joined in with singing 'happy birthday'. The wine was excellent (mishmash)
and tea or coffee was an added extra. We finished up about 10pm and to our surprise when I walked around to pay we were the last ones there. Seniors get 10% off and Friday night is cheaper than Saturday night. I would definately go back again.

Approximate cost: $39-$45

This review is for Elegant Bathrooms, Croydon VIC

We needed a complete makeover for a small but messy bathroom. (rotten floorboards, toilet moved to a new spot). I rang Shane and he came out promptly to assess the job. He measured and discussed the new design and offered practical advice. His quote came in promptly and was reasonable and similar to others. He was able to squeeze us in between jobs as ours was quite urgent and at all times his communication with us via email or mobile was attended to promptly. We were very pleased with the end result, the tiling looks great and at this stage I can't fault it. He did what we wanted and even prepared our kitchen wall surface for tiling and laid cement sheet for the kitchen/laundry floor.(all extras which we asked him to do) this saved a hassle of finding another tradesman. Everyone who sees the bathroom can't believe the transformation. We are very happy with his workmanship and he cleaned up the mess brilliantly.

Approximate cost: $10000

Even on a Wednesday night this restaurant was busy. The food was spicey but enjoyable and hot, the service excellent and the decor very tasteful. I would go back again.

This review is for Heathmont Physiotherapy Centre, Heathmont VIC

verified email - 09 Jun 2011

I started going to Jonas Tortensson years ago due to back stiffness, then tennis elbow, pulled calf muscle, sore collarbone, frozen shoulder and stiff neck. I used to play tennis then and my tennis partner referred me. Each time my problem was improved or fixed. Jonas was trained overseas and also has 8 more years of qualification on top of his physiotherapy degree which enables him to do more bone manipulation ( great for stiff necks and backs). Each visit takes an hour with the first half hour resting on the bed with a heat pack over the area then the next half hour Jonas works on you while talking and explaining what the problem is and how it can be prevented or improved. He works from home and his fees are very reasonable with pensioner discounts. I have been to other physios and some barely do anything to help so I highly recommend Jonas.

Approximate cost: $44+

This review is for Rinwood Chinese Restaurant, Ringwood VIC

A group of us had the Yum Cha for Saturday lunch and the service was excellent. It was very quiet as most of the business seemed to be take away at that time but that suited us fine. The staff were attentive to our 5 year old girl and spent time with her at the large fish tank. We ordered an extra dish of crispy fish which looked yum but to my surprise was tough and not tasty.
Someone also said the pork should have been fresh and not dry and processed. But overall we thought the meal was great and good value for $20 each which included wine and plenty of green tea. I would like to go back and try something different perhaps with the $10 voucher they gave me.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Jennifer Anne's Cakes, Ferntree Gully VIC

verified email - 02 Jun 2011

I found Jennifer Anne's Cake Shop while searching online for cakes for my son's 30th birthday. I wanted something to take to his work for staff and customers to enjoy. They were very helpful over the phone and their suggestions of medium cupcakes with a delicate chocolate 30 on top was just perfect. When I picked them up I was thrilled with their appearance and they were a great hit. I would definately use this business again if I needed a special occasion cake. My son also said the cupcakes were more practical as a cake would have been more messy for a work situation. I wish there was one left over for me to taste.

Approximate cost: $60

This review is for True Value Solar, Vermont VIC

verified email - 09 May 2011

After seeing the ad on TV we decided on this company as they looked like good value. We entered into the contract in Jan 2011 and they were fairly prompt in turning up. Unfortunately the contractors could not install the panels due to rain but the final payment was paid on the second attempt. Over 3 weeks passed without a word and then they turned up unannounced to finally install the panels. Lucky I was home as they couldn't have installed them if I was out. After countless phone calls and emails they still can't tell us when it will be finalized. It has taken nearly 4 months and we can't use our solar panels. Also when checking out the categories to write this review I noticed that the company State solar services had the exact same address as True Value Solar so I am wondering if they are linked in some way.

Approximate cost: $2590
