Peter Lekalakala

Cost  R120 000 for the whole house and R45 000 for the offices.

Description  He painted my offices and also a new house that I had just moved into. He's also done some plumbing work for me and currently does maintenance work for me as well. He's eve sorted out some geysers as well.

Feedback  He is a very punctual person, he always sticks to the time that he promises. When he was working at my house, I would leave him there with the other guys that he worked with, while my possessions were in the vicinity, like my watches, and when I came back, everything would still be there, that showed how trustworthy he is. He was also willing to negotiate his prices with me and whenever he had a suggestion on what needed to be done in my house, he always discussed it with me before implementing it.

Description  painted two or three properties for me. He painted both the interior and the exterior.

Feedback  He is brilliant! I'm happy with the work that he's done for me. He was quite expensive compared to other painters, but I'm always willing to pay more for quality work, and that is exactly how his work is, he does an exceptional job.

Handyman

Cost  1150

Description  Hanging paintings and mirrors

Feedback  It was raining etc. so it ended up taking a couple of days extra. He was very punctual on the second day but was 3 hours late on the first day. He was fine...good, he did exactly what he was supposed to do.

Description  He painted my house and did all the preparations before painting, like plastering the walls.

Feedback  He is very keen to work, very proud of the work that he does. So far I'm happy with what he has done for me.

Cost  R70000

Description  In April - June 2014 he fixed up my old house when I was moving out. He repainted and waterproofed the roof and fixed up the fascia boards. This all took around 2 - 3 months (price below is for this job). In my new house he did the waterproofing prior to my moving in. Afterwards he has fixed and repainted doors among other odd jobs

Feedback  Peter is a good guy. I haven't used him for a while, but I would use him again since we have developed a rapport and I now know how to handle him. If I were to rate him on his job at my old house, he would get 4/5 stars. Yet, considering the odd jobs he's done since he has not lived up to that standard. He needed money up front to buy material, where I would have preferred a deposit arrangement - I suppose that is the nature of the beast.

Description  He was worked for me on several occasions. The first time he painted and waterproofed my whole house. For the waterproofing he chopped out cement, did the waterproofing and replaced the chopped area with cement and chicken wiring for support. This job took around a month. On following jobs he did roof repairs, rubble removal, plumbing of an ice machine in my bar and more. For smaller jobs he took 1 - 10 days depending on the size.

Feedback  He's done several different jobs around the house and at each he his very competent and resourceful. I needed rubble removed, he made a plan. I had a leaking ice bar, he made a plan to remove the excess water. He doesn't like to stick around and gets done with the job asap because he quotes X amount regardless of the length of job. My wife had to chase him away once because he worked until 7 in the evening! He has even done an emergency job on the very same day I called him. His value for money is excellent - I feel I have gotten the best deal having Peter as my go to painter, waterproofer and more. He is the first guy I'd call to paint my house when I need to next.
