Could not recommend these guys more…read more Last year, I bought a house that hadn't been lived in for at least 15 years. Look up 'crack den' on your internal dictionary, and you might come close to being able to picture how the place looked. It needed a massive overhaul, and a combination of serious loveage, epic skills, and extreme vision. After consulting with several different building contractors, I brought Carroll Contractors on board. I had become frustrated with builders who came along and as well as giving me quotes, gave me a superior attitude, and a 'don't worry about it, you're only a girl' condescending vibe. Eoin Carroll brought the exact opposite attitude to the table, and maintained this throughout the entire build. He is very easy to consult with, he explains in detail what is happening, how and when, and is very open to ideas and suggestions from the client. (of which I had many...!) Apart from all-important attitude, the standard of work we're talking about here is top notch. I'm very particular when it comes to details, and was worried that whoever I had working on the house, wouldn't have the same ridiculous standards. I didn't need to worry. These guys work to a highly meticulous level, and everything is finished perfectly. There were many occasions in fact, when they went over and above what I has asked for, to make sure it was all absolutely perfect. And the final kicker - budget. I found these guys to be extremely reasonable in comparison to others I got quoted by. The full build actually came in nearly exactly on budget (save for a few extra bells & whistles I added on myself). Eoin in fact again went out of his way to save me money whenever he could, which as you can imagine, is very much appreciated on such a huge project. If you are looking for a builder, save yourself the hassle of looking elsewhere, and book these guys in.

I don't usually write reviews, but after my experience with Deskelly, I feel it's important to…read moreshare. When we first visited the Tallaght branch, the staff were extremely helpful, especially Colm, who really went out of his way to assist us. This gave us confidence to go with Deskelly, even though their pricing was only average compared to other quotes. We chose them because we expected professionalism and reliability from a larger company. Unfortunately, the reality was very different. Endless Postponements: Dates we had confirmed in the shop were not entered into their system. More than once, I was told last-minute that the fitting was postponed, including on the very morning I was expecting them. This caused huge stress, especially since I had to rearrange the delivery of a new bed and other furniture several times. Customer Care Issues: Communication with customer care was one of the most frustrating parts. Calls were cut off while I was still talking, promises of follow-up were not kept, and I constantly had to chase updates myself. The lack of respect for my time and situation was very disappointing. Inconsistent Fitting Standards: The LVT team did an excellent, clean job. The carpet fitting, however, was messy and inconsistent. Some areas were left unfinished, and in one case the fitter admitted he had used leftover carpet because the measurement hadn't been done properly. Since Deskelly themselves took the measurements, I don't understand how this could happen, and I was left feeling like I had to accept poor standards for something I paid a premium for. In the end, the work was only completed after weeks of stress, delays, and unnecessary back-and-forth. For a company that presents itself as professional and charges above handyman prices, I honestly expected far better. Overall, while some staff tried to help (again, Colm was excellent), the overall process was exhausting, uncoordinated, and frustrating. I would strongly urge Deskelly to improve their communication, scheduling, and accountability so that future customers don't go through what I did. I left this experience frustrated and disappointed, and I genuinely cannot recommend them.

Having purchased a new abode, several items seemed to be out of order in the electrical department…read more It was decided we needed to call in a professional, as despite standing around talking about the offending item for hours, they still wouldn't work. Upon arriving into work, I opened up Yelp and the very first thing I say was a review for Hade Electrical. I took it as a sign and immediately looked up the website (despite it being a post by the owner). The website is nicely done (aka it doesn't look like someone's 4 year old has developed it for IE5) and I decided to call the chap called Dermot. On the phone he was lovely to speak with and we arranged for him to come out. At the agreed time, he was waiting for me at the new abode. For the next while, I pointed out what I wanted him to look at, and followed him around while he worked on things. He probably thinks I'm a freak for following him around, but I had nothing else to do and I was interested in what was going on. He was so kind when he pointed out that my non-functioning doorbell chime was actually the alarm bell box, and even held in the laughter when pointing out that the alarm sensor up in the corner was my doorbell chime. Bless his heart! He fixed up some bits and bobs and left me with info for a new heater, if we wanted to replace the hideous storage heater which wasn't working. He came back in later that week to remove our storage heaters, fit a sleek new electric rad and replace the elements in the water heater. He was extremely friendly, pleasant to chat with and I actually had a good laugh joking with him. He cleaned up after himself and took everything away. He even fitted a new ceiling spot for free as a house-warming present! I was more than happy with the fee's he charged, I thought they were very reasonable. We will definitely be using him again.
