Mike did an outstanding job transforming my outdoor area with beautiful decking and fencing. He's highly professional, listens carefully to what you want, and ensures everything is done to an exceptional standard. His attention to detail and quality of work really made the difference, and I couldn't be happier with the result. If you're looking for a skilled and friendly builder who delivers top quality workmanship I highly recommended Mike at Abode Building!
Fiona WilsonDeck & Fencing
Mike did a fantastic job building our new fence for us. From the beginnig Mike was quick to provide a quote, responsive and professional. Excellent eye for detail. He really listened to what we were after he offered helpful suggestions and was accommodating when we changed the plan a bit. We could not have imagined a better outcome. We recommend Abode Building for any of your building needs and we will use again in the future.
Sam & Brodie Deck & Fencing
The Level of professionalism displayed by Abode Building is outstanding. Abode Building was recommended to us by a neighbour and after viewing their completed work we engaged Mike to replace our shower. This has been the best decision we have made. From the moment we contacted Mike he was responsive and accommodating. He really listened to our brief and provided excellent advice. Mike was always on site when he said he would be, and while waiting for products we were well informed
