What Sydney Homeowners Say
Real reviews from real customers across Sydney & Hills District.
Luke and the team built a beautiful stone fireplace for our outdoor entertaining area and the result exceeded our expectations. The craftsmanship is incredible and it has completely transformed how we use our backyard.
Luke runs you through a timely and detailed quoting process. No idea is too much work. You can see how much they care about the attention to detail. The final work delivered is breathtaking.
Excellent workmanship, quality materials. Always good consultation and communication so we knew what was happening. Very pleased with the completed project. Highly recommend the builder.
Every step was handled with care and precision. Communication was clear and consistent. The project was completed on time, within budget, and to an incredibly high standard.
We've been using Black Stag for various projects for several years — pool cabanas, sheds, commercial fit outs. No job too big or small. They always deliver exceptional work at fair prices.
You can tell Luke is a finishing carpenter by the way everything is measured and aligned perfectly. Our indoor fireplace feature wall looks amazing and feels like it was always part of the house.
