Restoration And Preservation Of Historical Buildings (VIC):
“We live in a 100-year-old Gippsland farmhouse. Damien took off a very bad (old) renovation on our kitchen and added a beautiful new kitchen on to the back. He did the work in 2009, and we still love it.

Before we chose Damien Gutteridge Builders, we interviewed 3 or 4 other domestic builders (in Melbourne’s south eastern suburbs). I was most impressed with Damien’s integrity. He gave me a realistic quote. Damien was very interested in being energy conscious, and as energy-efficient as possible on the project.

Most builders aren’t interested in working on an old house. We were so happy with the way our extension was going, it turned into a complete rebuild. Damien is just as good at designing and building as he is at managing a complete build from start to finish.”

Kitchen and Flooring Renovation (Melbourne)
“We had our kitchen completely replaced – and we also replaced existing carpet with hard wood floors. I knew what I wanted it to look like, but Damien helped me design
the kitchen exactly the way I imagined.

Plus, he organised the tradesman and project managed the whole construction, even negotiating price with contractors on our behalf. When one of the contractors made an error and wasted time, Damien handled it.

It’s nice to use a local builder who turns up for appointments, is always on time, and isn’t overpriced.
Before we were introduced to Damien, we tried other Kitchen Renovation places (Melbourne) but they weren’t interested in what they thought wasn’t a big enough job! Damien actually came out and visited us, and he realised how big the job was right away.”

“Great To Work With” = Good Communication and Prompt Time Management
“Damien was extremely helpful throughout the whole process of renovating our kitchen. He was always ‘up front,’ telling us where we were at—he’d meet with me before work to let me know how we were progressing and what was going to happen each day. He’s honest, good to work with, and refreshingly: always on time.”

Cosmetic and Structural Renovations (VIC) That Suit Your Taste
“Damien understood our vision for the work and worked with the existing architecture. Our post-world war house now has a lovely extension: a stucco-rendered car port to suit the art deco style of the house.

Damien is everything you need from a builder: he’s easy to work with and he listens.”
