First off I had better say that I am in the Whangarei area.

As a single person I often have to rely on handymen.

Because tradesmen often try to rip me off (because I am a woman on her own) I end up using the likes of `Hire A Hubby' who were always pleasant and reasonably priced.

However, in recent weeks I wasn't able to get help for a few maintenance jobs and then I spied an advertisement for `AB FAB'

The man from "AB FAB House Maintenance Services" came along and gave me a free, unconditional quote - and provided me with written references.

He fixed the things that needed fixing and his bill was VERY reasonable.

I have since referred "AB FAB" to several other people who have all come back to me to say how good a job was done and how cheap he was.

My poor old neighbour didn't learn about my new handyman until it was too late. She got someone in who charged her $90 to change an outside tap washer. eek eek eek

Anyway, if anyone in the Whangarei area needs an honest, reliable workman who does a good job (and takes his mess away with him) I would highly recommend Quinn Patterson of AB FAB House Maintenance Services.

And no, he's not a relation. I wish he was then it would cost me nothing to get my little jobs done. biggrin

Quinn does everything from changing a light bulb to plumbing and electrical work and he is happy to come and give you a free quote.

I think honest, reliable and reasonably priced tradesmen need to be referred on. smile
