Why homeowners keep our number
Cape Town homes take a beating. Winter fronts find every weak spot in a roof, salt air eats steel and paint, summer wind and drought stress gardens, and load shedding is hard on electrics and pumps. Most people don't want six different contractors on speed dial to deal with all of that.
So we built one team across six trades. Whichever service you book, you get the same process: a proper diagnosis, a fixed price in rands, a real arrival window, and a 12-month workmanship guarantee on what we did.
We've completed 9 400+ jobs across the greater Cape Town area, and we're rated 4.9 out of 5 by 218 customers. Most of our work now comes from people who've used us before or were sent by a neighbour.

Reviews
Reviews from across Cape Town
Rated 4.9 out of 5 across 218 reviews.
“Our geyser burst at 6am. They answered on WhatsApp, arrived before 8 and had a new geyser in by lunchtime — at the price they quoted.”
“Three other electricians wanted to replace the whole DB board. Fix It Fast found the actual faulty circuit in under an hour.”
“An 11-item snag list I'd avoided for a year, all done properly in one day. Polite, on time, cleaned up after themselves.”
“Two years of neglect sorted in a single day. They now come every second week and the garden has never looked better.”
“Almost two full days of preparation before any paint went on. Two winters later it still looks freshly done.”
“Others just coated the roof. These guys found a cracked parapet was the real leak. Bone dry all winter.”
