Very very helpful.

Just send my criteria, two hours later have responded.

Haven’t hired anyone as yet. Waiting for them to all give quotes. But as far as the concept of putting my job ‘out there’ and connecting with a few local tradies I’d recommend..

One of the plumbers contacted me almost immediately and we arranged for him to complete the work the next day. The second plumber contacted me after the work was already completed and I never heard from a third.

Prompt follow up to our job request and confirmed the work within 24 hours

Would of like more that one tradie to quote on my job. Only had 1 response, the way the block pumps you guys I expected more.

My ceiling plaster had popped throughout the house and I hired Vlad from Ultimate Plastering to make the necessary repairs. All done in a timely manner. Clean, on time and efficient worker. Would recommend Hipages & Ultimate Plastering very highly.

The guys from H Plumbing were very good. They arrived, got into the job and worked very hard in a difficult drainage situation. The job was done as quoted, with a minimum of fuss and the finished product is something I was very pleased with. The site was left clean, neat and tidy. The only thing left behind was a very well finished job.

I like the hipages website. Got response from businesses very quick. One responded on the same day, just a few hours after I posted the job.

One of the people who contacted me was prompt, polite etc, but didn't provide the service I wanted. The second one had hopeless customer service skills- messaged me and asked me to contact him, which I did. We arranged for him to contact me in an hour to let me know when he could quote. He finally got back to me before 7a.m. three days later. I am interested that he has brilliant reviews- either I caught him at a bad time, or the reviews are not reliable. The third company seems professional and we have made a time for a quote. The jury is still out on them. Time will tell if it has been worth the effort.
