Wardrobe rollers replaced

$200

Earlville QLD 4870, Australia

6th Jan 2025

The wardrobe doors are coming off the tracks due to the rollers being old. I have found the same type at bunnings, so would need 8 rollers replaced in total. I am not sure if the actual metal on the frames of the doors has had it in the current roller location, so the new roller might have to be attached elsewhere,( or a different roller used altogether, you'll have to check it out and use your good sense)...the unit is in earlville. Proposed time is thursday but thats flexible.

Great job, thankyou Max. Max was efficient and fixed the problem with minimal fuss. I will be calling on Max again for sure.

Landscaper needed! Building a rail for my garden stairs 🏡

$650

Bayview Heights QLD, Australia

24th Aug 2024

Build a wooden rail for my landscape stairs. It's on a slope. The price for the job is for your time. I'll pay for all the needed materials myself. Here is a video of the job: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/309u5rzz4bgzb5k50xhm3/Rail-for-Stairs.MOV?rlkey=xymm6yxjy4kqrzdx4xx86c4ra&dl=0 I believe we will need 7 wooden posts, fixed with concrete, and then a timber rail horizontally on top. I have several other landscaping jobs after this, so if we work well together you can expect further work.

William and his father, Geoff, did a fantastic job. While it took a little longer than expected, the result was exactly what I needed. Very professional and knowledgeable. You can't go wrong hiring these guys!
