I honestly can’t recommend Wafa and his team enough! They were professional, honest, and kept us in the loop the entire time. Plus they delivered exactly what they promised with no shortcuts.

Their attitude was so positive throughout, and they reconstructed our porch to be even better than it was before. If you want a building company that’s efficient, honest, and reliable, seriously—don’t look elsewhere.Posted on Google LESLIE EARNSHAWTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Marbo Co completely paint the inside of our house. Waffa gave a quick response, the quote was fair, and he was patient when we had to delay the start. Sean did a fantastic job, we were very happy with results and the communication, and both Sean and Waffa returned after we moved back in to make sure we were happy with the job and to do a couple of incidentals that were really helpful. Could not recommend them more highlyPosted on Google Peter AtanasovskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've used Wafa and his crew for three separate jobs now from a bathroom renovation through to full house renovations, and I've had a great experience every time. He always answers the phone, is super responsive, and communicates clearly throughout the process. He shows up when he says he will, gets the job done properly, and genuinely wants to make sure you’re happy with the result. It’s rare to find someone you can trust to both start and finish a job to a high standard, but that’s exactly what you get with Wafa. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Yasir A.

Frequently Asked Questions
These successful outcomes often lead to more specific questions about our services. Here are the answers to the most common ones we receive.
How long does a typical kitchen renovation or bathroom renovation take?
While every job is unique, remodelling bathrooms or laundries typically takes 3 to 4 weeks. A full kitchen overhaul is often 4 to 6 weeks, and major home extensions can range from 4 to 6 months. We provide a detailed schedule in your contract.
Do I need my own architect's plans?
No. We can work with your existing architect plans, or our experienced team can manage the entire design process for you, from the initial sketch to the final council-approved construction plans.
Can I live in the house during the remodel?
This depends on the scale of the work. For contained work affecting a single room, living in the home during the remodel is often possible. We will provide a clear, practical recommendation for your specific project.
What happens if you find unexpected issues?
Our process for handling unexpected issues during the construction phase is immediate and transparent. We stop, inform you, and provide a specialist’s quote and a clear plan for remediation, which you approve before any work proceeds.
What does the 10 year structural guarantee cover?
Our structural warranty coverage protects the integrity and quality of all our workmanship. It is our guarantee that your project is completed to the highest standards, ensuring long-term peace of mind.
