Testimonials

Your continued satisfaction and our reputation are very important to us. Here’s what a few of our customers have to say about the quality of our work:

"Daniel Hitchcock constructed our pool wall (into water) and fireplace at our new residence in 2004. His attention to detail and workmanship was outstanding. Daniel completed his work in a timely and reliable manner. He works well in a team and was a great person to have on site.

We have no hesitation in recommending this true craftsman, his work is exceptional."

"I have just completed improvements on my property that has included schist stone work.

Daniel and his team sourced the stone we liked and completed the work well under my time expectations and in a most professional manner. In fact, the number of comments my wife and I get about how impressive the stone work is would blow you away.

We would both recommend Daniel and his team on any project. These boys are courteous, professional, humorous, and bloody good at their job!

Thank you Daniel,  see you again on our next project."

"Daniel and his team created two schist fireplaces, water feature columns and a wall for us.  They are an absolute highlight of our new home and every visitor here is drawn by the stunning effect he created.  He clearly has stonemasonry in his ‘genes’ and this is very evident in all of the work he has undertaken for us.

His work is second to none - we have had so many great comments about the work Daniel has done - even from builders!  Things like, "you can see that a true craftsman did this work" . That's what Daniel is - a real craftsman in the truest meaning of the word.

He is also professional, hard working, and is great to have around.  Our kids loved it when he came to visit and so did we. 
In an industry notorious for poor service we have only ever found Daniel and his team to be reliable, considerate and thoroughly professional. We would recommend Daniel to anyone.”

"During the early to mid part of 2006 we built a beautiful house at Broomfields Rd in Whitford. A large single storey dwelling which among other features, was set off by a number of superbly constructed stone pillars.

Daniel Hitchcock came recommended to us by the colour design consultant and did not disappoint us in any way. The pillars were constructed of South Island schist where Daniel had to manage and blend two different colours to create the desired effect that we were looking for.

Right from our first contact Daniel was punctual, turned up when he said he would, was clear in what he wanted to achieve and established the quotation so we knew exactly what to expect for our money (a rarity among trades people).

We are very pleased with the finished product and have had many comments from visitors on not only the look of these pillars but the extremely high standard of the workmanship, we have no hesitation in recommending Daniel to future home builders."

"We would like to thank Daniel & his team for the excellent job they did on our new front Schist fence. Prior to engaging Daniel we sighted a couple of his bigger jobs and spoke to the people at the properties involved. Based on what we saw and heard, Daniel got our job and we are delighted with the outcome.

We had builders and other fencing people on site and Daniel worked in with everyone very well. He listened to what we wanted and communicated well throughout. The quality of work cannot be faulted and the craftsman-like end result continues to draw favourable comment from passers by.

Daniel did what he said he was going to do, within the time frames agreed. He was always on time and kept the site tidy at all times. So impressed were we with the results achieved, we are considering extending the theme to other parts of the property and would automatically consider Daniel for this work. Highly recommended based on a job well done, in a professional manner throughout".
