TESTIMONIALS

Delivering exceptional craftsmanship and lasting quality.

But don’t just take our word for it—hear from our clients about their experience building with us.

Kentia Avenue

Renovation

Kentia Avenue was a full interior renovation, with a strong focus on creating standout kitchen and bathroom spaces. Our client, Tim, is a self-proclaimed perfectionist — and we welcomed that. At DLJ Builders, we thrive on detail and precision, so the partnership was a perfect fit.
Every aspect of the build was carefully considered, from light placement and tile selections to cabinetry finishes. The end result is a sleek, modern home with refined bathrooms and a beautifully functional kitchen. More than just a stunning transformation, this project stood out for the strong working relationship we built with Tim. His high standards pushed us to deliver our best, and we’ve already begun discussing future projects together.
This renovation is a great reflection of how we work best — collaborating with clients who value quality, craftsmanship, and care.

Gibson Place

Full Renovation & Extension

Gibson Place is a full renovation and extension project completed by DLJ Builders in 2024.
This tired 1990s home hadn’t been updated in over 30 years, so we completely stripped the interior, extended the open-plan living to include a scullery, and expanded the garage to fit a new laundry and double car space. A new level-entry tiled patio with a louvred pergola now offers seamless indoor-outdoor flow, creating an ideal entertainment area.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It

  • "I hired DLJ Builders for renovations on both my residential property and my holiday home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality has been outstanding. Dean and the team are always punctual, respectful of the space, and kept the work areas clean and organised. Dean listened to my ideas and provided valuable insights that has enhanced the final outcome. The craftsmanship is top-notch, with every aspect of the renovation completed to a very high standard. They stayed on schedule and within budget. I highly recommend Dean and his team to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional builder. I will be continuing to use their services for my future projects. DLJ Builders have exceeded my expectations."

    Lisa Allen

  • "We engaged Dean and his team as he was professional, courteous and engaged with me as the primary client, not just my husband. We were able to problem-solve surprises within the renovation and he understood ‘details matter’. A great communicator, I always knew where we were in the process. I was absolutely delighted with the results, so we got the team back for a complicated deck build. Details mattered there too! Highly recommended!!"

    Tania Greig

  • "Dean was a God send. After an excessive quote from another building company, Dean restored my faith in my belief that home renovations should be an enjoyable experience. Dean and his fantastic team provided my family and I with an additional bedroom and extra storage. We are over the moon with the end result! A quality job done in a short time frame at a fair and reasonable price. Thank you Dean and your team, would highly recommend!"

    David Cotter

  • "We had Dean and DLJ Builders put in a bi-fold window and a few other things when we first moved into our new home. We absolutely love it! all! Dean and his team were so easy to work with, he was great at communicating with us about the job and letting us know exactly what was going on. He worked fast but with a high level of attention to detail, which created an amazing finished product. We couldn't be happier with his service. Would highly recommend."

    Josh Gascoigne

  • "Dean did renovation work on our place and did a stunning job of our bathroom. He was friendly, knowledgeable, approchable and professional, everything you could want in a builder. The work was to a high quality and we love what Dean has created for our family's home. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a builder who cares about his clients and a top notch job."

    Sheree Cortesi

  • "We had DLJ Builders do some renovations at our new home, and we couldn't be happier! Dean was professional, great communicator and very clearly passionate about what he does. It really felt like he cared about us, and what we wanted and our vision, but he also cared about the quality of his and his teams work. He strived to deliver exactly what we envisioned, and thats exactly what we got. Would highly recommend DLJ Builders to anyone."

    Kara Spice

  • "Wow! What an experience! Going into this renovation, we were apprehensive. We had heard horror stories about builders not fulfilling their duties and leaving clients with hefty bills well over their estimates. This was NOT the case with Dean and the DLJ team! The initial meeting put us at ease straight away. Dean met us at home with a warm greeting and expert knowledge of what was realistic in our dreams. The fine art of keeping the client happy while juggling everything that comes up during a building project is a skill Dean and DLJ has honed. His problem solving made the stressful times a walk in the park, and his attention to detail brought the project to a seamless conclusion. We could not recommend DLJ more highly. If we go down this road again, I'm not looking anywhere else. Thanks Dean"
