Meari Ono | Christchurch
Just a note to say thank you for the installation of our replacement gate. I didn't dream that we could possibly have it done before Christmas. It is much nicer than the previous one and we are thrilled with it.
The young men who did the job were just super to have working here, and were most obliging when I had to ask them to let me out when they were having their morning tea break. Nothing was a trouble. They were neat and tidy and went to no end of trouble to make sure Tony knew how to work everything. Thank you again.
Gay Abell | North Canterbury
We are really happy with the gate and appreciate both James and Caleb’s communication and the work Caleb has done.
I will highly recommend your business to anyone I know if they need a gate.
Blair Shepherd | Christchurch
Could not recommend James highly enough. I had over four different companies come to my property and everyone told me that what I wanted couldn't be done. James came and provided a great solution and the project was completed very very fast and efficiently.
I found James's communication very quick and I would not hesitate to recommend Designer Gates, fantastic service and great quality product. Thanks.
