DBS R. recently completed some urgent reconstruction to our home due to extremely poor initial workmanship. The work was not straight forward and required some major repairs.
Dan and his guys worked long and hard with a high level of communication and professionalism problem solving from start to finish. They were extremely accomodating of our young kids while working inside and out.
My wife and I both felt the right decisions were being made with all transparency & options presented to us for consideration through out the entire process.
We would thoroughly recommend Dan and his team to anyone and are happy and satisfied customers. TY DBS R.
I highly recommend DBS residential for any of your building or renovation needs! Dan was a pleasure to deal with and nothing was too much hassle.
We had multiple companies come out to quote our job and most couldn’t complete the work or even get a quote out. Dan reassured us the whole way through and although it dragged on a bit longer than expected it was completed before Christmas as promised!
The price was great for the work involved and we are very happy with the result!
Our New deck has completed the look to our traditional style home here in Tindall’s Bay. Our neighbors love it and we now have a classy area to enjoy the Summer.
Thank you to the team and DBS Residential who transformed the front of our home. Dan kept in touch right the way through, even while becoming a dad in the middle!
Thanks guys!
DBS fixed our leaky shower, even though it was a small job they were happy to help and made it simple and stress free. Dan and team are great, excellent communication and quality workmanship.
Highly recommend!”
The lads at DBS Residential completed a 10 week building renovation project at our 100 year old villa – a new kitchen, bathroom and laundry. There were quite a few surprises and Jase & Ryan worked hard through the difficulties. They were always on time, easy to have around and were obviously highly skilled. Everything was explained to me during the build. I really appreciated that. They levelled foundations and laid a new matai wooden floor, removed walls, built new ones, opened new doorways, replaced an exterior wall bottom plate, upgraded steel beams with new fixings amongst other things and brought everything up to compliance with council requirements.
I can highly recommend DBS Residential and will certainly choose to use them again in the future. Thanks for the mahi.
NB. The renovation was Project Managed by Rod at Nicol Renovations,
Friendly team, easy communication and an amazing job! Thanks guys

DBS was a very reliable team who sorted all our landscaping out they had great ideas to ensure the end result was perfect. The communication with us was top notch and the lads were super friendly and very helpful. We would highly recommend and use these guys again.
Dan Hendy at DBS residential was a great help at all stages of our minor home reno project. The project involved creating a new bedroom, moving walls and closing in a porch area to form a bigger lounge.
He made good suggestions at the design phase, and was always responsive during the build phase.
As a first timer at the reno game he walked us through the Council consent requirements and the final council inspection passed with no problems.
The tradies he used were all reputable and got the job done to a high standard.
Would recommend highly.
Fabulous service. Helped us out on a tight time frame and nothing was a problem even with having to work in challenging circumstances with an office fit out. Honest guys and great to work with.
Highly recommend !!! High quality job!
We needed a few home improvement projects done. Dan made time to meet with us to listen and provide us with great advise and to help generate realistic yet creative ideas to add aesthetics and value to our home. We are extremely happy with our classy home improvements.
Dan and his team work to a high standard, following building regulations and keeping you well-informed of their progress. DBS Residential provide quality service with high levels of professionalism and communication.
