Tidiness, Punctuality, Workmanship, Affordability, Trustworthiness

Description  His guys were supposed to simply build a wall and plaster .

Feedback  The job was half done , still to date incomplete , material wastage and mess , half jobs , substandard work and himself as the “ lead hand” absent and sleeping in his car . Multiple attempts to reason with this guy resulted in him assaulting myself and threatening , had to revert to police for assistance . This guy is dangerous and a hack . I wouldn’t recommend this guy to anyone other than an enemy .

Description  Fixed external leaks to window frames and sealed/waterproofed exterior tiles on a balcony

Feedback  Marvelous was recommended to me by another contractor, and he was prompt with his quotes, as well as being open to negotiation on price. He came to my property, which is occupied by tenants, as I currently live abroad, completed the job and asked for full payment. I duly obliged. That was on December 20th. My tenant then informed me, around mid-January, that Marvelous had not finished the job. I chased him, politely I may add, and have been doing so since then. Today was the 5th time he simply didn't turn up, although on this occasion the sun is out ie he has no excuse. He won't answer calls, or respond to messages. Do not use this man. He is charming and polite, but is clearly a liar, who wants money, but isn't prepared to finish the job he quoted for.

Description  Installing wooden floor, tiling, wooden door frames, painting, outside wall and house gammazine,

Feedback  The biggest problem with this guy is greed and lying. He fronts as an honest person, takes jobs which he knows very well that he is not skilled at doing. He messed up the gammazine, which he clearly has no idea how to do. He likes taking chances and disappearing. He sets unrealistic timelines, when he knows very well that he will be disappearing for other jobs in between. He leaves his so called team unsupervised and they make a mess and do horrible work. He has a good tiler in the team though, who should consider registering himself on Kandua instead of working for someone who lies like that. The guy has serious potential but is highly untrustworthy. I can go on and on about how untrustworthy the guy is, though we started well until he started lying.

Description  He was supposed to renovate the bathroom, bedroom, convert one bathroom to a gym, install skylight and wooden folding door

Feedback  He was always late, he would disappear spring the day and come back late. His finished are bad. He disappeared without finishing the job, I had to pay installers for folding door and carpet because he was no where to be found. He bought staff ( two music systems and a door) which he did not pay for

Feedback  Marvelous by name and marvellous by nature. He has done a wonderful job. I needed a house fully refurbished to be used as a new wellness centre in Johannesburg and Marvelous and his team have done everything for me. Total paint and flooring job as well as a great deal of internal building, renovation, plumbing and electrics. His prices are very reasonable but most importantly he cares very deeply about his clients. His enthusiasm and care have ensured that I will certainly work with him again.

Description  Erected an aviary in my garden

Feedback  Started work late and on 2 occasions left in the middle of the day I suppose for another job. Work done is good but would definitely have taken a shorter time to finish. Cost was good but regretted using him because wasn’t sure work was ever going to be completed. Had to call him 2 times to insist that he finishes the job. Wouldn’t use his service again

Description  Marvelous waterproofed the inside and outside of my house. He also did painting and reapplying new skirting boards.

Feedback  His team is very tidy. They do not arrive early but a lot is done in the time they were here. I do feel he does more than one job at a time as he is very much in demand. They are very professional with many good ideas to save me money but not reduce the quality. I will definitely use him again.

Cost  ~ZAR 20,000 for workmanship, with separate payment for materials

Description  Knocked down a small wall, waterproofed, plastered and painted outbuildings, installed skylight and adjusted electricity. He also renovated our pool, replacing broken mosaic tiles and applying acid, marbelite cement plaster and paint

Feedback  When Marvelous and his team were on site, they worked fast and reliably. The detail in the finishing left something to be desired (for example, the pool plastering wasn't quite smooth which may mean more algae growth in the future) but overall, the work is done to reasonably high standards and very good value for money. That said, Marvelous' lack of punctuality made this job very hard. It was supposed to get done in just over a week and took over 3 weeks. He always came late and didn't come at all on several days without explanation or communication. Every time we tried to discuss this with Marvelous, he didn't seem to understand how difficult this was for our planning.
