EXCELLENT Based on 23 reviews Posted on hamish tocher2026-03-04 Used Retro for a residential renovation. We were really happy with the approach they took. They were keen to do the job right and get the best possible result. Friendly and helpful people. They have fixed a small issue noticed after the reno - came back and sorted it out with no hassles. Transparent on the $, clear contract, did what they agreed to do— and maybe a bit more! Would use again.Posted on Hayley Paul2026-02-24 I have used Retro Construction several times for big and small jobs. They have always been very thorough and detailed with the projects they do.Posted on Linda Scott2026-02-19 What a great company to deal with! Irne and his team are amazing in their workmanship, and attention to detail. No job is too big or too small! They worked on our guest toilet and laundry superbly!Posted on Andrew Wills2026-02-03 We began our journey with Retro Construction late 2024 - it was a reclad and new windows renovation. With a few delays the job was completed in late 2025 with the issuing of the Certificate of Compliance. We are very happy with the end result.Posted on Ben Trieu2026-01-29 We recently completed a home renovation with Retro Construction, led by Irne, and overall had a solid experience. Pricing is sharp, the quoting was accurate, detailed, and transparent, with final costs matching what was agreed (including variations). The core build work carried out by Irne and his builder was to spec and of high quality, particularly the foundations, structural work, and major building elements. We also appreciated the care taken with important details, such as the finish of the living space doors and the fireplace mantelpiece. They quickly identified and addressed unexpected issues like rotting framing, which we valued. Angie was responsive and helpful through most of the project. We’ve deducted one star due to a few finishing and coordination issues. Communication slowed toward the end of the project. The painting, done by a subcontractor, had a visible sheen mismatch on one wall. The electrical subcontractor’s work did not fully match the drawings, with some items never resolved. Site clean-up could also have been better. For example, some excavated dirt was swept directly onto the bark garden rather than disposed of, and although a broken window was repaired quickly, we’re still finding small pieces of glass in the garden beneath it. Overall, Irne and Angie are professional, friendly, and easy to work with. We enjoyed working with them and would recommend Retro Construction for the quality of their main construction work and accurate quoting.Posted on Vaughan Saywell2026-01-28 Great wrap around service from design though to final product.
