“I am very grateful to have been referred to Natural Edge Joinery by my Builder. I knew from the first meeting with James that we were going to work well together. He was nothing like the “big guys” that I had approached. James was all about listening to what I wanted and not telling me what I should have. He offered suggestions where I needed help with particular features but not once did James try and make me fit into a standard solution.
Every feature I asked for, James said he could do it..nothing was a problem. My kitchen and pantry was built to fit my home, my appliances and my dreams. I have the exact kitchen and walk-in pantry I had hoped for, there is nothing I would change.
James focuses on detail and quality which has resulted in an exceptional outcome. There was nothing that had to be redone or modified. He worked co-operatively with all the other tradesmen (sparky, plumber, builder, stone top producer) in order to complete the job. Everything was installed professionally and correctly the first time and the overall job was completed as agreed, on time and on budget.
I recommend anyone wanting a new kitchen or other cabinetry work done to call James at Natural Edge Joinery and experience the excellent service and results they deliver.”
