Absolutely in love with our new fly over patio for our home by NQ Sheds and Patios. From the quote stage to the build, all stages ran smoothly and on time. The builders were respectful of our home and children and were professional. Highly recommend this local company.

We had a car port build by these guys and were kept informed of progress from
start to finish. Very professional and timely service. Friendly and approachable staff. Our project was a little difficult and awkward. Other companies were not interested. NQ Sheds were fantastic with ideas and solutions. Able to problem solve and think outside the box. Would definitely recommend this company.

A simple sketch was turned into a shed to meet all our needs. I presented a rough drawing of a structure 18mx7m. It was to include a workshop, undercover work area, large patio, and a room eventually tagged as "the teenage hangout room."
Marcus took the time to explain all the stages of the building process and my endless questions were addressed professionally. The tradesmen on the job were efficient and offered exceptional customer service. A special shout out to the builders, Chris and Jarrod. Impressive work ethic and the job site was immaculate every afternoon at knock off. Some of my

Very happy with the Service and Product! Would recommend anytime!!! With completion of our Fly Over patio we couldn't have been more happy with the end result. All the contractors involved on site at each step were professional and courteous great to deal with they also kept the site clean and tidy. All came together in nicely with Marcus and Sam keeping us informed through out the whole process. It has changed our whole out door living.
