These guys do maintenance for the apartment complex where I work. Incredibly rude, inconsiderate and noisy. Drive up and down the street sounding their horn. Loud phone conversations constantly, waste a lot of time. 'Old school' tradies of the worst kind.

Crewther plumbing recently did an excellent job of guttering and roof replacement required as a result of storm damage. I have used their services for other jobs for over 15 yrs, and they are reliable, courteous, and their work is invariably of a high standard.
