Read morePosting this review on behalf of my parents Robyn and Julian, who don't have Google accounts: I requested a quote for painting the windows, doors, facias and eaves of our house which I accepted. The quote was the most professional and complete one that I received. Simon’s supervision of the very capable apprentices was great and the team was focused on the job at all times. They were always polite and informative. Despite the inclement weather the work was completed in the best time possible, and Simon kept us informed at all times of his plans to work around the constant rain. I have no hesitation in recommending Simon and his team and encourage you to give them a call.

Read moreHighly recommend Dolan Trades Carpentry & Painters. We’ve used them over the last decade for a number of jobs, from renovations through to full makeovers, and the quality of work has been consistently excellent. Communication was clear, timelines were respected, and the finished results always exceeded expectations. Special shout-out to Noah, who has an incredible eye for detail and was always so helpful throughout the process. His care and professionalism really set the team apart. Reliable, skilled, and a pleasure to work with, we wouldn’t hesitate to use Dolan Trades again.

Read moreI had Simon give me a quote for painting the windows, doors, facias and eaves of our house which I accepted. I found him to be refreshingly open about what was required and how he would go about it. The team Jacob, Noah and Pat did an amazing job. A special mention to Jacob, he was the constant presence every day, always on time, diligent, and hard working. He managed the day to day activities and was friendly, pproachable, knowledgeable and always available to explain what was happening. He is a asset to DolanTrades. It was evident that they all like working for DolanTrades, which shows respect for the business, Simon and each other as well as the client is evident in the quality of their work. As a local business competing against larger firms and franchises they are all aware that their reputation is the paramount and is the source of on-going business. In that regard, I have no hesitation in recommending Simon and his team for any work you might need to have done and encourage you to give them a call.

Read moreIn a nut shell Dolan Trades are amazing. We have a 1950s vintage home that has beautiful plaster work and architraves and like everything they were in need of repair. Dolans was the only company that was not afraid of working with the designs and worked really hard in keeping the original aesthetic of the house, Simon stated that he was excited for the challenge. Through the whole process the communication lines were always clear and open and his team were friendly approachable super knowledgeable and always available to explain what was happening. Most importantly they loved working for the Dolan team which is a great sign I think. Anyway in short I can’t recommend Dolan trades enough. Thanks guys I am over the moon. See photos for before during and after.
