Real experiences from apartment owners, property managers, and real estate professionals
I'm so thrilled with the service Richard provided! From the moment I reached out for a quote to the very end, the communication was top-notch. Richard and his dad were absolutely brilliant, offering their expert advice to make sure everything was exactly as I wanted. Richard also went above and beyond to minimise any disturbance to my neighbours. The entire team of tradespeople were incredibly respectful and kept the site spotless. The kitchen looks absolutely stunning!

Great duo of Richard and Claude at Fine Touch. They really transformed our kitchen to be an open, host-friendly space. Loved the finishing touches, their communication and speed. I don't know how many renovations actually finish on time, but these guys do well to schedule things! When things went sideways, they were always super quick to fix and communicate.

Really happy with the work from Richard & Claude on our bathrooms and new carpet. Open and communicative the whole time, actively asking for my input and ensuring it was a easy/smooth process. Took the stress out of it! Really happy with the outcome and professionalism shown by FTG. Would happily recommend!

I recently did a full renovation with Fine Touch of my apartment in Surry Hills. From the very start Richard and Claude were great to deal with. They worked with me on a design and advised on what would work in my space. The quality of the work and the trades they used was excellent. They have good experience dealing with strata which made the process smooth. I could not be happier with the finished product.

He transformed 2 bathrooms, my kitchen, installed new floorboards, repainted the entire place, and completed stunning custom joinery. Richard was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared about delivering high-quality work. Everything was completed on time, within budget.

We recently had our apartment in Baulkham Hills fully renovated by Fine Touch Group, and the results were exceptional. The team completed a full kitchen renovation, updated two bathrooms, and custom-built wardrobe cabinets for our bedrooms. Richard and his team were incredibly professional, organised, and easy to work with. The workmanship on the kitchen and bathrooms was flawless—modern, clean, and practical.

Richard and Claude transformed our whole house last year. We used Fine Touch for 3 bathrooms, our laundry, kitchen, new floors, painting and more. They used quality tradies and were regularly on site to check progress, attention to details were great and they don't take short cuts. They are a lovely family business, beautiful people who will treat you like friends. I fully trust them, and will use them again.

Let me just say, WOW. My dream home was made possible through Richard and Claude. We had our home in Vaucluse renovated by Fine Touch Group and like I said, WOW! Every last detail was accounted for to exactly what I wanted without the headache or stress. Their work ethic, honesty, accountability and passion for what they do is second to none. Leaving my house in the hands of a family owned business made my renovation experience so beautiful.

Fine Touch Group renovated my apartment in Kings Cross while I was overseas, and they made the entire process seamless. They kept me updated with regular progress reports and photos, coordinated everything with the building manager, and handled all strata requirements professionally. The workmanship was top quality, and they finished everything on time. I felt confident leaving the project in their hands.

We recently had our apartment in Kirribilli fully renovated by Fine Touch Group, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the kitchen and laundry to both bathrooms, every detail was finished to a high-end standard with exceptional workmanship. Richard and the team were professional, responsive, and highly organised. The custom joinery, curved stone island, and dark feature cabinetry turned out even better than we imagined.
