After a lengthy process getting quotes and lack lustre ideas from various bathroom renovation companies we finally found Wayne Stewart. We had a tired, over twenty year old bathroom, typical of the era with a bulky corner spa that was never used and a very pokey shower recess. We also had an adjoining walk-in robe of the same era which needed to be re-configured and entirely replaced. Everything basically had to go. Wayne provided us with some inspirational ideas while listening to and incorporating ours, and guided us to some excellant suppliers to locate the fixtures and fittings we needed.

We remember meeting Wayne Stewart for the first time well over a year ago now. He came out to our house in Dromana and spent almost two hours listening to our plans and dreams for our 20 year old home. What seemed daunting to us didnt bother Wayne at all. He trusted himself and his experience and gave us the confidence that anything was possible. He was very friendly and full of great ideas and suggestions. So it was easy for us to choose Wayne Stewart Builders to carry out the work. From start to finish the customer service and communication from both Wayne and Colette was simply second

What we didn't have at that stage was a builder that could carry out a project of this size and to the quality standards we expected. We found Wayne Stewart Builders online and from there we arranged to meet at our house and go over the project with Wayne. From the very first meeting Wayne made us feel comfortable and at ease. Wayne put forward solutions

We have been taking care of Wayne's tiling and waterproofing needs for some time now. If I ever have anyone who asks me to recommend a builder or carpenter, Wayne is the first person on my list. I know when I go to start a new job for Wayne everything is ready when he says it is, and to the highest standards; that is extremely important when laying tiles and trying to achieve a flawless finish. Preparation is crucial when laying tiles and that's something Wayne and his team have masterd! We have seen many builders in the past 10 years and no ones project management skills or quality even comes
