What our clients are saying

  • "We decided just before the pandemic hit to enclose our alfresco area. We contacted Harley to have a look at our plans and ideas. Right from the outset Harley was great to deal with - he listened to my ideas and aspirations for this room and then set about delivering not only a great extension but offered new ideas along the way. He is not only a great builder with fabulous quality finishes - his team were also a pleasure to deal with."

    Robyn Tarraran

  • "Harley and his team recently completed a bathroom renovation for my father who has dementia. His professionalism over this time from quoting to handing over the completed product was an outstanding experience. He made sure the disability aids were designed in a way that suited the look and feel of the bathroom. Harley and his team are perfectionists and equally as important, reliable. We were most impressed with his communication with us during the renovation and he was spot on with his time line from start to finish."

    Jacinta Phelan

  • "Harley and his team renovated our bathroom after an insurance incident. What was a potentially disruptive event was as pleasant as possible. His team were polite and professional, and the end result was truly amazing. We can't wait to use them again for our next project and will gladly recommend Herbel Designer Homes to anyone."
