Phenomenal! Deb, Gav and their team, superstars . It's the second time we have worked with ETS to complete a full internal reno and boy did they deliver! Their technical execution with all the moving pieces involved with renovating a historic clinker brick apartment is beyond words. Their insight into design aspects was truly helpful. Really looking forward to working with them again.

We selected Elwood Trade Services to remodel our bathroom in 2015. Gavin, Deb and the entire team made our experience flawless. They guided us through the entire process and communicated to us throughout the entire process with any changes. We were extremely happy with both the experience and especially the end result. As our first experience was seamless, we decided to again use them in 2017 and recently on a large renovation project consisting of a full rebuild at the rear of our new home in St Kilda West. All the team (including all trades people) were professional, courteous and respectful

Can highly recommend Gavin and his team. They renovated our old bathroom and restored it's grandeur, and were most professional and helpful along the way. Tidy, and respectful. And great tradesmen who cared about what they did. Couldn't ask for more. Gavin was a pleasure to deal with also. Thanks guys.
