Bare Hands Carpentry

Dan’s the man.As a tradesman Dan is skilled, thorough, thoughtful, friendly, flexible and reliable - I know, I know, I may as well have said “Dan is a unicorn”… but I’m standing by it.As first-time renovators we were flying pretty blind. A few builders came ‘round to ‘quote’, but we found them vague and non-committal, and essentially just not very keen or helpful. Then a friend recommended Dan Mace… thank goodness.Dan was exactly what we were looking for. He listened, he understood (our probably very layman’s plans), he gave advice and explained options, and was perfectly clear about his availability and probable timelines/expenses. Hallelujah!Long-story short, we did a comprehensive renovation of our townhouse (I’m talking new kitchen, two bathrooms, new laundry and flooring, new ceilings on two levels, new lighting, new stairs, additional walls, and more), and Dan wound up helping with basically everything. When we required other trades he always made multiple recommendations (but was never precious about us using, or not using, his ‘mates’) and was only too happy to play site manager (aka translator) and help us ‘talk tradie’ to organise the various other individuals/teams.A few months after our home reno we got Dan back in to help us build a deck/outdoor area - which we bloody love! - and I’ve no doubt that Dan will be our first port of call if/when we again require a tradesman.Thanks Dan, truly couldn’t have done it without you.Jake & Lei Newell
