To Whom it may concern,
My wife and I recently contracted Wally, Maurice and their team to renovate our home externally. By this we had them repair all rendering cracks, and faults, caused by settlement and normal wear and tear. They also sealed the whole house and applied two coats of special paint to both the eaves and walls.
I can’t speak highly enough of Wally and the team, they were so professional and sticklers for detail it was incredible. We are very impressed with the end product, that we would have no hesitation in recommending Wally and the team to anybody interested in obtaining a top class job. They were punctual, polite and always kept us informed as to where they were up to in the task stages. Do yourself a favor and include Wally and the team when seeking quotes for your next job whatever it may be.

Hi Wally,
Thank you very much for taking care of our property, presale make over. I have written out a hand over takeover statement for the new owners, and dropped your details in for any house repairs or improvements. Dily and I were thoroughly impressed with your service and your nothing too hard, can do approach. On top of that Wally we found you a very colourful and fun character to have about the place, and enjoyed your company. Only wished we had found your services earlier!
Dily and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your good workmanship, and wish you all the very best – and if you are passing by in the Newcastle/Maitland area, we would love to be able to catch up with you.

Dear Wally,
We would like to express our thanks to you, Maurice and Michael for the work which you recently completed in painting the interior of our house. Your suggestions regarding colours and the type of finish, the thorough preparation of, in some instances, worn surfaces, plus attention to detail through out the whole house is evident in the high standard of finish which was achieved. Little wonder this has resulted in numerous compliments from our friends. Your consideration in adapting your work schedule to assist us with our temporary accommodation arrangements is also greatly appreciated.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Executive Home Management to prospective clients.

Tony Owen
Reference for Wally‘s Executive Home Management,
Walter (Wally) Antioch, principal of Wally’s Executive Home Management, of Gungahlin, A.C.T., was engaged by us to repair and paint the internal walls and ceilings of our house at Campbell. The house is 50 years old and comprises I large living/dining-room, 3 large-ish bedrooms, kitchen, laundry, bathroom, toilet, entrance hall and passage-way, with a total floor area of about 150 square meters.
Following an initial consultation at our home in late September 2013, Wally immediately prepared and supplied a concise comprehensive quote to our satisfaction and was engaged to commence the work on 1 October. He undertook to work between the hours of 8/9 a.m. and 3/4p.m each day for an estimated period of two weeks (9 working days with 1 public holiday), using top quality paint (Dulux Wash & Wear 101) and materials.
The repair work mostly consisted of fixing of cracks in the cornices and rendered walls, and a few larger areas of loose plaster revealed as the work progressed; a reasonable increase in total cost was agreed on to repair these large areas as they appeared, with wire mesh reinforcement.
A fixed fee covering the shifting of furniture, curtains, pictures etc. by Wally and his crew, had already been agreed. This removed a considerable burden as we are both over 80 years old, and ensured that the work proceeded rapidly without hold-ups. As we lived on the premises throughout the work, some re-positioning of the furniture was carried out by the crew every morning and evening, and our special requirements were all accommodated. We were also quite happy to leave the house entirely in the care of Wally and his crew when we both went shopping for half the day.
The work proceeded smoothly, quietly and right on schedule by Wally’s two to three man crew, with minimal of disturbance to ourselves, flexibly and cheerfully adhering to the proposed time-table in spite of the small unpredictable diversions inevitable in a house of this age, and occasionally working past the 4 p.m. finishing time when necessary. We were continuously consulted as these diversions arose, and Wally contributed several valuable and constructive suggestions, on for example colour, and replacing small items of hardware free of charge.
Wally ensured that the repairs and painting were completed on schedule and to a high standard, and the furniture returned to its original positions. The interior is brighter, fresher and much easier on the eye than previously. We have no hesitation in recommending Wally and his crew for work of this nature.

To whom it may concern
I am the owner of several properties in the inner north of Canberra. I have over the past couple of years had extensive renovation and development jobs on these properties. I have been very fortunate indeed to have come across Mr. Walter Antioch of executive home. It started with painting work at a Braddon property and then later a new kitchen in my own residence in Turner. I then engaged Mr. Antioch on a house and flat in Downer for renovation work both inside and outside the property. Following this I engaged again Mr. Antioch on substantial renovation work on a rental property in Turner, a large 4 br and 3 bathroom house. I also engaged him for the complete conversion of a back of house into a stylish townhouse fully fitted out to a high standard. All these properties post the work of Mr. Antioch were rented promptly notwithstanding the difficult rental market that was prevailing at the time in Canberra.
From day one it became very clear to me that i had engaged with an outstanding tradesman in Mr. Antioch and his support team. The high quality of their work was very impressive and more impressive was Mr. Antioch’s guidance on design and fixtures and fittings. Hence it made my situation much easier than what I had expected. In effect I was made part of this harmonious ‘team’ and we enjoyed the direction and outcomes as they unfolded. I have friends and neighbor’s who are also impressed with Mr. Antioch work so much so that he has been engaged in other jobs for them. In fact the house in downer was before a very ordinary and plain house to it now being regarded as one of the best in the street.
Mr. Antioch is not only an outstanding tradesman and leader of his team, he is a very decent man who remains calm under all circumstances of problems that arise in this kind of work. He is a kind and generous man and very supportive of his team, no matter what the situation Mr. Antioch will stop work for lunch every day and sit and chat with his team. His outstanding feature is his goal in delivering outcomes that are primarily focused on what the client wants and importantly at the end that the client is very happy with what has been done. It is a rare quality not seen often these days in tradies for home construction works so of course I can but repeat that I am very impressed with Mr. Antioch and will engage with him as more jobs are bound to arise given my property interest
position. I wish him every success.

To Whom it may concern,
As a retired former member of the Australia Institute of Building and A license master builder of quality in Canberra for over 50 years, by his references, I employed Walter to carry out work at my home in Red Hill. Walter came to me well equipped to perform the work to my high standards.. which I had previously found difficult to obtain…. without reservation I can recommend his knowledge, trade skills, technical advice and communication with my wife and me. Honesty and integrity is inbuilt in his character he is now my appointed man to do all my work.. thank you Walter.

Reference for Walter Antioch of Executive Homes Management, Canberra ACT
My wife and I have used Walter Antioch and his workmen on numerous occasions over the last ten years for a variety of jobs both in our own home and in a rental property which my wife and I own. The work done has included house and garage painting both internal and external, internal floor tiling, external roof tiling, tracing the origins of leaks in a roof and sealing them, repairs to built in furniture and doors, and other repairs needed to be done and noticed as necessary by Walter or one of his workmen, although we may not have noticed it ourselves. As a measure of the quality of his work we had a serious leak in the roof of our rental property and left it to our agent to arrange the repair. The leak was not properly fixed although the bill received via the agent was substantial so we asked Walter if he could have a look at it. He did and fixed the leak for a satisfactory price.
We would always give Walter first option on any work to do with buildings if he assures us the work is within his competence since we have always been entirely satisfied by the quality of his work and by the costs involved. He provides a detailed quote in advance and we have never found it necessary to query any aspect of these quotes. We can recommend him without hesitation.
Ken and Margaret
I recently had my home entirely renovated with EHM. Wally and the entire team made it stress free, quality workmanship, friendly and reliable service. As a construction project manager dealing with tradesmen on a regular basis. I was really impressed with the attention to detail and their ability to identify and suggest improvements to the jobs that resulted in good outcomes for my home. Wally provides timely quotes and once works commence he always maintains contact to ensure that works are meeting your expectations. EHM are very cost effective and reliable. It a pleasure dealing with EHM. So if you’re renovating your residence give Wally a call, you won’t be disappointed.
Guy T Forde ACT
Hi Wally & the team, Thank you for the work you have just completed for us and we are most pleased with the outcome. We would also like to leave the following comments: We first used Wally (EHM) in 2007 when we purchased our present house and it needed considerable work including painting inside and out which the EHM team completed. Since then we have used Wally on three further occasions for painting jobs. In the most recent repaint we discovered an internal water leak emanating from the balcony which had supposedly been repaired by another tradesperson 5 or 6 years ago. The advantages of using Wally to provide the solution and repair soon became evident. Within his team he had all the trades covered we required including; a glazier, builders, a tiler and painter. Wally managed the whole process and it was seamless for us. The only issues we faced were delays due to poor weather and some holdups procuring supplies. The outcome is first rate and the level of work that went into the repair will ensure we have no further issues for a long period of time. We can highly recommend Wally and each of the team involved for their work and Wally for the removal of the angst in managing and co-ordinating multiple tradespersons on a single job. Well done to all! Regards David
David Chang
Wally provided an amazing service to help us out of a jam at very short notice. He was punctual, professional, friendly and extremely efficient at his job. The skills that he has should be envied by many. On top of all that it was a pleasure to spend a few hours in his company. I cannot recommend EHM highly enough to anyone requiring building services.
Paul Thompson
We highly recommend EHM. Wally was exceptional in his communication with us, he projects managed all of the jobs in a timely and professional manner and this took the pressure away from us as time poor professionals. We were thrilled with the outcome of all the work. We have no hesitation in recommending Wally and his team at EHM.
Simon Carroll
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Once again Wally saved the day! With a baby due in the next four weeks, we were in desperate need of getting our 3 bedroom house converted to 4 bedrooms. Wally and his team swept in and got the job done perfectly, in record time, and on-budget. Have been using him for years (first came across him when an old landlord used him to renovate the house we were renting), and rate him so highly that I even recommended him to my Mum 🙂 Thanks again Wally, looking forward to working with you again when I get around to planning that sauna!
Alycia Nevalainen
I highly recommend Wally and his team. They recently did several days’ work at our place, including roof repairs, re-paving, painting and some fiddly interior jobs that we couldn’t get anyone else to do. We were very happy with the results. Wally comes up with good solutions to difficult problems, at a reasonable price. What he fixes stays fixed.
Peter Hughes
Wally’s Executive Home Management have undertaken a number of home improvement projects for us over the past 10 years – painting interior of house, replaced ridge-capping, ‘face-lift’ to bathroom, and, most recently, improvements to our patio area including erecting a timber screen. All work has been completed to the highest standard. We are more than happy with the finished work and with the way Walter consulted with and provided excellent advice, including suggesting alternatives, all the way through the projects. We will be using Wally’s Executive Home Management for any future home improvement jobs.
Denis Shephard
Very highly recommended. Big jobs or small jobs, Wally does them all or organises someone else to do them. Wally’s team did a great job on a wide variety of repairs and maintenance work on our house. Wally went to a lot of trouble to work out the best solution for everything we needed done. He came up with sensible and economical fixes for several fairly serious wood rot problems, including fixing both ends of a very old pitched roof, and, fixing some shoddy building work under the house beneath a leaky shower recess. Wally fixed these problems with a minimum of fuss and with excellent results, which was a relief for us because we had such trouble getting other builders to quote, reply to calls, turn up when they said they would etc etc. On that score, it’s often hard to find anyone to do anything on a house but Wally and his crew do most things and do them very well. They repainted the outside of the house (including repainting a shed and driveway gate), resealed 2 bathrooms, repaired water-damaged tiling in a bathroom, repaired the castors on a very large and heavy internal sliding door, replaced the castors on an external sliding door, replaced fly screens on 8 external doors, repaired and repainted several bits of wood work and flooring in the house, and organised for a tiler and a plumber to give advice about solutions for other problems we have. Wally and his team are great to deal with – friendly, flexible and skilful. And they come back to check on their work afterwards…
