"We recently undertook a significant renovation in our family home with Maybeck Residential. It involved adding a new story to our existing house and modernising of the remaining structure.

We decided on Sam and Jacob after watching their work over a period of months on a neighbour’s house and getting a glowing endorsement from them. Importantly also for us we wanted a builder who was personally on the job every day and over every single detail, not farming all the work out to people we didn’t know.

Throughout the entire project I was impressed with their high levels of communication and standards of workmanship - particularly  important considering we had to live in the property throughout. Nothing was too much trouble – even coming back to our property at 10pm in the middle of a cyclone when we had a tarpaulin roof to ensure we were dry and safe.

12 weeks later and the project was delivered on time, on budget (outstanding considering we added various things onto the core job as we progressed) and Council COC approved. The property was also left in a very tidy state which in itself is no mean feat having done the majority of the work in a wet and windy Auckland winter.

We would 100% recommend Sam and Jacob and am available for further information if required."

"We first spoke with Sam after a recommendation from another builder who we had originally discussed our plans with. From our first meeting with Sam we found him open and approachable and throughout the project he was easy to talk to and always forthcoming with suggestions and ideas. Problems that arose were quickly addressed and Sam usually had a solution already in mind.

All of his team were punctual and always polite on site which was important for us with young children in the house.

​

We are both mild perfectionists and the end result of our renovation is everything we expected.

We would certainly use Maybeck Residential again in the future and have already recommended them to friends wanting building work completed."

With nothing more than a recommendation about Maybeck builders, a walk around some of their previous handiwork and a dream, we embarked on our renovation as absolute novices.

Right from the start, Sam and Jacob put us at ease. Having them and their team on our build made everything simple and smooth, and reduced the stress of undertaking this project during the COVID supply crunches. They built trusting relationships with architects, engineers and all manner of contractors and suppliers and went into bat for us anytime when things looked like they were getting out of shape.

Certainly, it was Sam’s foresight on the potential COVID supply chain impacts that meant we secured a lot of product in advance of the disruption and saved both time, money and frayed nerves. So when many other people were struggling for roofing material ours was already squirreled away in advance of installation.

Throughout the project their constant communication and management of the build and all contractors put us completely at ease. Their eye for detail kept us on track and their finish on the place was exemplary – so much so that the house has received a number of awards (which we didn’t ever consider when we embarked on this project). Even when we had given up on some aspects of the renovation and tiny details in the finish due to supply issues, Sam wouldn’t cut corners and his perseverance means we now look on elements of our home and thank him for helping us make the right decisions.

Any potential changes in cost were always discussed, alternatives offered and we finished on time and within the budget envelope we had allowed.

Sam and Jacob endeared themselves to our neighbours and local community too. They were incredibly respectful of noise and disruption to the street and there wasn’t a week that went by that someone didn’t mention how considerate the Maybeck team was.

We’ve already recommended Maybeck to a bunch of people who have taken them on and loved the results, and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering building a house or a renovation. Absolutely top class.
