James has recently completed a big renovation job on our farm house replacing the existing verandah and decking around the whole house. We wanted to ensure the job remained in character of the farm house and this was our initial concern when searching for a good builder. The result has exceeded our expectations, with high quality workmanship, and is now the main feature of our home. James and his team are professional and friendly guys to have around, and we highly recommend James Walmsley Building.

Would highly recommend James and his team. I’m extremely happy with my shed slab, build and granny flat. The whole team were polite, professional, efficient and tidy throughout the process. James was very easy to work with. He made time to walk me through the job, answer all my questions and keep me informed. It was clear he takes pride in his work and pays attention to the finer details, with a strong focus on quality from start to finish. I’m extremely happy with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James and his team.

I cannot recommend James and his team highly enough. They were professional, reliable and the quality of their work was outstanding. My bathroom renovation turned out even better than I expected. The team was great to deal with, turned up when they said they would, and took real pride in their workmanship. I am absolutely thrilled with the finished result and would happily recommend them to anyone considering a renovation.

From start to finish James was great to work with. We had a rough idea for our new home design and James helped turned into something we absolutely love. Everything was smooth and I reckon easily the best builder in Tamworth. Highly recommended.

John Lee

I would highly recommend James as a builder for any project. From Design all the way through to final handover he was Fantastic. From building our dream deck to installing new roller doors at one of our Commercial Properties he can do it all, no job to big or small!
