Best shop manager I have come across (sorry if wrong but think his name was Tim?) Absolutely nothing is a problem. Only had one tool I have brought back, he replaced it and the new one has been flawless, and every time I step in the shop I get great service and he even replaced a 24 inch chainsaw bar for free. I say it every single time I leave, will see you guys again soon!”

“Popped into the store thinking I knew what to get but Chris took the time to discuss my project and identify a much cheaper and more suitable product for it. If I had gone along with my own plan I would have been short on product and could not have completed it with how much the costs would have blown out of budget. Extremely appreciative of the time and knowledge Chris provided, especially without making me feel bad for my obvious mistake. Excellent customer service. I will definitely be returning for further DIY projects and am happy to recommend others to do so too.”

“The young lady working there was so helpful! Her name was Trudy and she gave the best customer service, gave me some very helpful information and made the whole process super easy! Will definitely be returning :)”

“The young woman on the counter went the extra mile in assisting me to find replacement fittings for a louvre window. We spoke to the product researcher in the office who said he’d look it up. It is very rare for that kind of personal service and I’m very grateful for her thoughtfulness, initiative and focus on customer service. Thank you!”

“I can’t speak highly enough of the team at PlaceMakers Waiheke. Time and again, the standout feature of this branch is the quality of the staff – knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping you get the job done properly. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like a person rather than a transaction. The team take the time to understand what you’re actually trying to achieve, whether you’re a trade professional working to tight deadlines or a DIYer who needs a bit of guidance and reassurance. There’s no impatience, no talking down, and no sense that you’re “in the way” – just calm, practical advice delivered with real expertise. What really impresses me is how well the staff know their products. They don’t just point you towards an aisle; they explain options, flag potential issues before they become problems, and offer sensible alternatives when stock is limited (which, on an island, is sometimes unavoidable). That level of proactive thinking saves time, money, and frustration – and it’s something you don’t always find elsewhere. The service is also consistently friendly. Even when the store is busy, the team remain upbeat, polite, and efficient. You get the sense that they genuinely care about the local community and take pride in being a reliable backbone for Waiheke’s builders, tradies, and homeowners. Yes, it’s an island store and the range can’t match the mainland, but the staff more than make up for it. Their willingness to help source items, suggest workable solutions, and go the extra mile makes PlaceMakers Waiheke an essential part of getting anything built or fixed on the island. In short, this is a branch defined by its people. Excellent service, deep product knowledge, and a refreshingly human approach. Highly recommended.”

“Friendly service. Good selection of building materials and supplies.”
