What our customers are saying

We’re very proud of our work, but you don’t have to take our word for it.
Here’s some great feedback from a few happy customers.

Dealing with Jakuf @ Softwoods Croydon has been fantastic with great service, friendly support, good price & product. Any question asked is promptly answered & actioned. Nothing but praise & recommendation of Jakuf & company.
We wanted decking out the back of house. Softwoods were a very big help. We spoke to Lee Bennett who gave good advice and worked out all the details and price, which we thought was great and also a price for labour, again a good price. Then we dealt with Mitchell Stanley who organised a builder and date for starting,thankyou.The builders were Akym Guelf & Shaun, who also gave good advice and suggested a few changes, and then they started on Monday morning and was finished by Thursday afternoon and not a small job and the step down, looks good too.Really nice guys, easy going and got on with the job, (sorry about the coffee). We both thought they were really professional, neat and tidy and cleaned up after it was finished and the Decking looks really really great, we are very impressed with it.I would Highly recommend Akym & Shaun to anyone for building work.Also would recommend Softwoods at Lonsdale.Thanks again to Lee Bennett, Mitchell Stanley & Akym & Shaun, good job done by all. Dave & Cathy Dishon, sorry couldn't get photo on to show.
Outstanding craftsmanship and customer care. From planning to execution, the Softwoods team have been fantastic; friendly and professional. Two structures from team Rocky and Rambo - could not be happier with the results!
Couldn't be happier with our new pergola from Softwoods. Everyone I dealt with at Softwoods was prompt in getting back to me and were easy to talk to. Their free quote and consult really helped us to work out exactly what we were looking for - very much appreciated! Would highly recommend them to anyone.
Have purchase here many time for most of my timber projects. Consistently good service, high volume instock products.
Angie and I would recommend Softwoods to anyone looking for a pergola. Gary came out and explained the different possibilities to design and build our pergola. Dave built the pergola and was always listening to what we wanted to do and was a perfectionist in what he did, I did my part and supplied him with good coffee during his building process. All the materials came exactly as needed, and exactly on time and the whole process from quote to completion went very smoothly. We are extremely satisfied with the way Softwoods managed everything and with the end result. Thanks to Graham to do the final touch up paint.
Recently had our Pergola extension completed and couldn't be happier with the entire experience. Wonderful service, advice and help from Gary and Mitchell, Peter the carpenter was amazing and Graham the painter made it complete. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Softwoods, they went above and beyond our expectations.

I can not speak highly enough of this South Australian business. I’m a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to any work done on my property & these guys, I couldn’t fault in any aspect from planning & planning approvals to supply of quality timbers to the Dave Mackenzie the builder.. Thank you to Gary & Mitch you have done your company proud..
I have asked Jakuf for advice, design and quotation on 3 projects. The response has been quick, the design and quotation promptly to hand, and the product quality is excellent. Project No 3 is now in hand, I had the design and quotation within a couple of hours, and the quotation assured I could proceed. I have been well pleased with the price of all their timber products ....be it sleepers for garden edging, or pergolas etc. I recommend asking Softwoods for a quote before proceeding with any timber purchase.
I ordered some roof sheeting from Softwoods for a verandah. The product was much cheaper than purchasing from Bunnings and it arrived at my house the next business day after ordering. I would highly recommend purchasing from Softwoods!
I am so happy I chose Softwoods for my pergola.Glen's design, Mitchell's ordering and arranging delivery of the materials and Rocky's construction were all the work of total professionals. I was kept fully informed of all processes and delighted with the result. What a great bunch of people. Friendly, totally professional and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking to improve their property. Rocky the builder deserves special mention. He made some modifications to the original plans so the changes he made ensured the structure not only looks great but functions beautifully and adds class to my home.His attention to detail is the work of a true craftsman.
Modbury softwoods provided great service and an excellent product. Thanks Glen
Names vu good customer service from jakuf and like Mathews before but now still same 🙂
Fantastic service, excellent end result. Would use them again and recommend to others
Purchased polycarbonate roofing online. Website was easy to navigate. Great price. Great service.
Just wanted to say thanks so much to Softwoods (and Mitch) for your help with the carport. You all went out of your way to accommodate all our requests. Also your suggested carpenter Pete did a great job. So we are very happy with the final result - thanks again for all your help and support - well done!

Extremely helpful in helping us design and build our new fence. Definately recommend.
Got some great advice from Stuart and team on dressing their product.
We are so happy that we used Softwoods for our carport and verandahs as they made the process from start to finish easy. They quoted within a few hours of submitting an inquiry, worked with us on numerous variations to create what we wanted, and delivered and installed prior to when they said they would.Mitch from the Modbury store was outstanding in his management of our project - he was always available to answer questions and made sure to keep us updated if there were any issues. Peter the carpenter was outstanding and was vital in ensuring difficult aspects of our build were made easy.We would definitely use Softwoods again and would happily recommend them to anyone.
I'm extremely happy with the job that has been done. All trades people were brilliant and I was always kept in the loop with what was happening. Everything happened as per promised time frame. Thankyou all for helping me to have something I'm very proud of in my home.
Excellent service from Stuart. Great quality materials. Very flexible and accomodating customer service.Highly recommend
Very happy with Softwoods. We bought a 5m x 4m pergola kit to attach to the rear of the house. Excellent customer service (Nathan) and an extremely comprehensive kit and instructions. People are are always surprised to hear that I built it myself as it looks so good, thanks to the quality of the product and support.
Stuart has been a great help with our twin pergola projects. We've modified the design a number of times and changed our minds about the scope, timetable and finish more times than I can recall. He's still smiling, so hats off to Softwoods and we'll post again on completion.
Ive used Lonsdale Softwoods for many home projects over the years. I've found the staff to be exceptionally helpful and the product speaks for itself. Highly recommend.
Luke and the team at Softwoods Croydon have been super impressive right from the initial design stage to the finished product. Luke took care of council approval and it was granted within a few weeks. Quality tradesmen completed the job to a very high standard. I had all the timber pre-painted by Softwoods which turned out to be a great decision. I would definitely use Softwoods for any future project.
