Featured Reviews for Builders in Arklow, Co. Wicklow

DP Building & Carpentry Ltd
Builders in Arklow, Co. Wicklow
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 October 2016
“We hired DP Building to create an open plan area for an old 1970's house that had multiple ad-hoc extensions. They did a fantastic job on the new roof for the extension and incorporated a stunning patent glazing roof-light which every visitor to the house has since commented on. A real stand out feature. DP also built us a lovely patio for our garden, created a real flow from the garden to the house. The kids now spend all their time outside. Inside the house DP rewired, re-plumbed and re-insulated the house with all new plastered walls. Our BER rating went from E2 to B2. The plastering working was second to none. Overall the finish to the house was 5 stars. DP really take pride in their work and it shows in the final finish. Other than the excellent work and attention to detail and ability, one of the best comments I can make about DP is the personal. Every single one of them were professional and courteous. A genuinely nice bunch of people who made me feel very comfortable through all stages of the build. The build was completed on time, there were no hidden costs, no surprises. DP kept me updated through-out the build and did not rush off before the house was finished. They stuck with it till the job was completely finished and I have no qualms in giving them a 5 star rating. Highly recommended from a very happy customer!”
Placelift Property Renovation Specialists
Builders in Arklow, Co. Wicklow
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 December 2017
“We found Placelift by doing a general search for builders on Houzz. We had just purchased our first home, which we wanted to renovate quite extensively, but didn't have a clue how to go about it. What we needed was a project partner that could hold our hand each step of the way, and that's just what the team at Placelift did. Lead by Clodagh, the team were absolute angels, nothing we needed was too big or too small, and nothing was ever a problem. We felt they cared about our house as much as we did. Going into the project we had a lot of our own ideas, which Clodagh built on and guided us toward an end product that we absolutely love. It's hard to succinctly put into words just how happy we were with Placelift. We would recommend them to anyone (and have done so).”
MG Construction
Builders in Arklow, Co. Wicklow
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 January 2021
“Mark and his team were very reliable, hardworking and went above and beyond on many occasions while working on our house. Mark helped to come up with design ideas based on his years of experience and relished in the challenges set by this fussy housewife...! ;-) "So you don't want an architrave eh...?" We would have no hesitation in recommending MG construction for any building job and we are extremely happy with our extension of a sunroom onto the end of our kitchen, and new insulated shed.”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Arklow:
  1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Arklow that can handle the full scope of works, either by themselves or through sub-contracting. It is often a good idea to play devils advocate and ask what the builder will not be responsible for. Be wary of unusually cheap quotes. Ask for references and stories about how the builder has met different challenges along the way. If you can, you could try to see previous projects and talk to previous clients, or if not, read reviews, and ratings, and look at detailed photos of projects. All of which you can find on Houzz.
