We found Blake from In A Pinch Property Maintenance through Facebook, so we didn’t really know what to expect. We couldn’t have been happier. Blake was reliable, easy to deal with, and a consistent communicator throughout the job. His pricing was very reasonable, and what really stood out was his willingness to suggest improvements along the way. Several of his recommendations saved us money while delivering a better overall result. We have an older home and Blake’s attention to detail and understanding of the challenges that come with them were exactly what was needed.
In a Pinch completed the Gyproc in my loft. The whole space was sealed off from the rest of the home and left very clean upon completion. The end result was perfectly smooth walls that painted up beautifully with no sign of seams. Blake worked very efficiently and did not waste materials. I strongly recommend In A Pinch, they were a pleasure to deal with and the results were excellent.
We had a great experience with In A Pinch property maintenance. Communication was great and Blake did a great job in replacing our ensuite ceiling. I recommend Blake and his work and would definitely use them again.
Highly recommend In a Pinch Property Maintenance! Blake and Jess are very friendly, organised and knowledgeable, we often work with them through our electrical business, they are always a pleasure to deal with, great communication and workmanship skills.
Excellent work, exceeded our expectations. Short time between quote and the work being completed.

A whole-home refresh in Mount Barker.
At this Mount Barker property we installed new timber-look flooring throughout, repainted the kitchen cabinets, completed the bathroom ceiling, removed and replaced the laundry floor tiles, hung a new exterior door and fitted an awning above it.
Simple from start to finish.
