No pride in work and rude
Extremely poor service. Charged me R 1900 to paint a ceiling with mould resistant paint. It was a very sloppy job they messed on the floors and walls and did not place masking tape on the wall to ensure the lines where the ceiling and the wall meets are neat.They also broke a piece of furniture and failed to report it and denies it to this day. He was then very insistent on payment after I told him I am not happy and gave him the opportunity to fix the poor job. He then became very threatening and said he is sick of people not paying. As a single lady and him knowing my address I felt unsafe and just paid him so that he wouldnt come bashing in my door. They spent 2 hours on the job and charged such an exorbant fee. He was extremely rude and unpleasant. He then insisted that the paint was already R 600 rand. When I asked for the slip proving the purchase he simply ignore me. To this day I have no surety that he used the right paint and not just some old paint from his garage. His name is Gavin Holmes. So if you ever hear that name, run for the hills.

I'm self-employed doing built-in cabinets that is why I choose carpentry which falls under construction and manufacturing.

Gustav Hoekstra owing money for 6 months
Gustav Hoekstra’s business is based on taking people’s money and feeding them lies and excuses after. He is not a carpenter neither does he supply glass or windows. I am currently preparing a law suit against Gustav Hoekstra. The procedure is fairly simple. Especially if the amount he de*****ed you for is less than R20,000 as it goes through the Small Case Court. I encourage more people to take actions against Gustav Hoekstra.

Do not engage this company - you will lose your money!
Gustav Hoekstra takes your deposit. He does shoddy work and is not able to complete the job. Has many excuses and empty promises. My experience has been similar to other complaints listed here and on other sites. He is still to complete work, fix issues and refund the deposit for work not done. 8 months have passed and the excuses continue to pile up.

Gustav Hoekstra is a piece of ****!!
This man should be locked up and the keys thrown away? Gustav Hoekstra gained entry to our site as he was already ‘working’ in the estate and gave a fair quotation with a book full of photographs as references. We paid a R44000 deposit in March 2018 for doors, front door and skirtings. After 8 weeks when installation was due the excuses started. Unfortunately we trusted the judgement of the project manager and only too late searched for Gustav Hoekstra on the internet. To my horror I discovered that he has defrauded many other people. After many threats he installed R20000 worth of material only to start the excuses again. We discovered that his MO is to use the deposit of unsuspecting victims to pay wages and possible complete previous jobs. He has considerably delayed our project which is costing a lot of money in rent and fines and we have barred access to our site and still demand a refund of the money owed. Whatever you do avoid this man like the plague.

this guy should be in jail
<p>Gustav Hoekstra has been running this little scam for 10 years. He comes and asks to quote on the supply of windows for your project and comes in with a very low price. He asks for a deposit of 60% and then brings a couple of the cheapest windows and installs them and then nothing further. He keeps making excuses and pleading all sorts of problems for months on end. Eventually you have to give up and buy the windows from someone else, and he offers to refund the money but never does. He has done this to hundreds of people and he's still doing it so don't go near this guy! He did it to me and have lost over R100k.</p>

Refunded
Gustav refunded the full amount to me when it became apparent he owed me more money. Settled in full within a week of it becoming apparent.
