CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“I would be happy to provide verbal references anytime. A great job done with care & with the customer at the centre of focus, will always recommend.”
Mark – Heathmont
“A terrific pergola and an overwhelmingly positive experience. Thanks very much to both of you.
It was a pleasure to have you working here and the pergola looks like it was built with the house rather than added later.”
Donna – Macleod
“We absolutely love our new pergola! The workmanship is fantastic, all the workers were friendly and very tidy.
We would highly recommend AP to anyone who needs a new pergola. The pergola is everything we wanted in design and it is very practical.
It adds another room to our house.
Thanks you.”
Cornelia & Rob – Balwyn
“Overall we couldn’t be happier with the end product. The quality of workmanship is great and it’s better than what we envisaged.
The advice given in regards to the feature slat jarrah wall and bar was welcomed to the point of even agreeing to have it built.
Thanks so much for your professional service and craftsmanship. We have already recommended you to many of our friends.”
Chris & Julie – Doreen
“We were very happy with the workmanship and efficiency of the Affordable Pergolas team. We were very happy that they removed all of our old remnants of our decking from our property.
Our repaired decking is better than it was when it was new.
Thanks, Chris, Mark & Jack.”
