Dunedin City Contracting

"I was contacted by the owner through a Facebook post for some electrical and construction work. I asked for a written quote for some electrical work but was told not to bother with that as they are cheap and quite experienced and fast with the job. I still requested for the quote and they were the most expensive ones out of the other companies. To top that off, I was told that’s the minimum and can potentially be more even though it’s a simple straight forward job. I was away out of town and I contacted the owner for another quote together with the first one but the building contractor couldn’t make it, so I asked him again when I returned. The owner sarcastically told me that I should ask the electricial company that did my electrical work to do my building quote and work as well just because I didn’t choose his company for the electrical work. He went sour because I didn’t choose his company to do the electrical work but in fact I haven’t done anything yet as I was out of town. I was going to choose this company for both the jobs as it would have been easier but not now. I expected more professionalism from this company and respect of customers choice. Get quotes and compare prices as you can’t trust most of them."

"The guys at Dunedin City Contracting were excellent to work with. Quick, efficient, polite & professional are all reason's why we would use them again in the future."

"Shocking company to deal with -- STAY WELL AWAY unless you have deep pockets + enjoy being ripped off. Steep hourly rate with LOTS of additional hidden costs. Got charged close to $300 -- in addition to original $750 quote -- for having a basic toe board replaced, which got broken in the process of installing new floor. Was told toe board was going to be "a little bit extra" -- not an additional 40%. They also arrived late both for the quote and the work. On the plus side: they had immediate capacity for the job when everyone else in town was booked out for months. I understand why now. Don't use unless you're desperate."

"If you're getting painting work done by this company make sure you get a quote. I was told a written quote would be more expensive and that I should just get the paint job done paying the hourly rate. The rates etc were made clear to me so I have no issue with that. I was nervous about not having a written quote but was assured that if I wanted to save money I should go with the hourly rate. I had a kitchen, laundry and toilet area painted. I was told by the contractor doing the quote that rooms are about $1000 each to paint. Even though the toilet area was tiny I imagined that I would have a $3000 bill at the most. The bill was just over $5000! I queried it and was told that some things had taken longer than expected. I wish I'd had a quote because I would not have spent that much to get such a small area of the house painted. My one positive is that the quality of the painting was very good."
