I recently completed an attic conversion, bathroom renovation and front entryway project with J&S Hammertime. They were fantastic. The team was very professional, reliable, and dependable. The final product looks great and I am very pleased (and thankful) that I used J&S!. They stayed within their quoted price and took the time to do the job well. Well done, guys!

We recently engaged JS Hammertime to undertake a bathroom renovation, some repairs to a water damaged wall and build an extra bedroom. Our experience with Scott's team has been great. Scott was extremely responsive to all of our communications and no request was too much. The finished quality has been great and we are loving out new spaces! And most impressive of all the renovation was completed ahead of schedule! Thanks Scott and team for doing such a top notch job.

We have used Hammertime for a number of renovations on our previous house, but just undertook our largest whole house renovation with them, and couldn't be happier with the result. Jared and the team are great to deal with. Their communication throughout has been fantastic, and their attention to detail and pro-active approach to solutions is great. I would be happy to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable contractor who is clear and open with communications.

This is the third time weve had Hammertime do some work on the house. Jarrod and Scott did some work to renew our front veranda and update our bathroom. Recently they completed a larger renovation on windows and roof. They were excellent to deal with - nothing was too much trouble, and they cut through where others would have faltered. Highly recommend. Ill certainly contact Scott and Jarrod again.

Got quote from him for window installation quote with 2 options - me to provide windows or him. When I opt for me to provide them (his were really $$$) and just have him do the installation, he suddenly announces he'll only work with windows he provides! I should have known he was a time waster when he completely forgot to turn up to his intial appointment to measure the windows! Very frustrating & unprofessional experience.
