Mount Lofty Sand and Metal is a landscaping and construction specialist based on Longwood Road,…read moreHeathfield in the Adelaide Hills. There's nothing too special about his place, but they have a selection of different sands, gravels, stones, pots and compost for your garden and landscaping needs. They also sell sheet metal, corrugated iron and other basic metals for constructing walls, roofs and gutters. My family used this company frequently when we were building up our yard. They deliver and offer competitive prices on all of their product. We never had a problem with them as they were always punctual, happy and efficient.

When I was younger I worked as part of a shop fitting team for a shoe company for a while, and we…read moreworked on various shopping centre sites as new shopping centres were being opened. In those days it was not unusual while working on a site to stop and chat with other teams who were fitting out new stores. You get to see the process other people go through, and appreciate their work. One outfit I would recommend is Griffiths, mainly because I believe the work is detailed well, constructed locally in a clean and skilled way, and the pride taken in the work is reflected in the quality of the finished product. For any trade, electric, carpentry, painters etc; you can give them a call 24/7 basically. I've never seen these fellows do a shoddy job. They work to specifications and work reasonably swiftly wherever possible. They will build the store for you if you have a new store to fit out, or if it is about offices they will provide you with the right solution to your needs after some consultation. I believe they also have several very happy clients when it comes to doing maintenance on residential and office blocks, so they are available for up keep with both office and residential spaces.

Derek's is a gloomy and cluttered store on Payneham Road…read more The front exterior wall and much of the interior is strewn with mirrors of all shapes and sizes refelecting the surroundings and the resultant reflections in an odd manner. There are many different frames constructed and otherwise throughout the interior of the shop, but in none of the ordered fashion you will find in most framing places. There are some very nice frames here, antique and gold leaf, as well as many much less appealing. As well as picture frames and mirrors, Derek's has some fireplaces as well.

These guys are located in Keswick off Richmond rd. Don't go past the green building. I was really…read morehappy with my flooring from these guys. It looks amazing. They don't usually do installation but in this case they did for me. They provided the cheapest quote out of three others I saw ($1100 less! ). There is no sales pitch or attitude that you often get from well known flooring companies like carpet court. Michael the owner is straight up. There was a bit of a hick up with the installer, but he made sure it got done and even helped out himself. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I'm really happy with their service and would recommend them to anyone.

Redecorate is a really small and unassuming shop just behind a bus stop on Magill Rd. It would be…read moreeasy to overlook this one next to the glitzier offerings that surround it. There are a couple of things which set Redecorate apart. The first is that they specialise in recycled curtains. By this, I do not mean something you could pick up at Vinnies, these are really high quality and heavy weight. As anyone who has redone the furnishings in their house in earnest knows, curtains are bloody expensive! What a great idea to up-cycle them like this. They have a bunch of furniture in the store and plenty more in storage, most of it in Victorian and Georgian styles. They also offer a home styling service, that's right, they'll come to your house and do it for you and chances are they've already got all the gear on hand to do it!

The bright blue sign leads the way through to the colourful interior with staff who know their colours. I was after a nice heritage green paint to touch up my house, but the problem was that this colour was considered obsolete. After going through their archives, the guys were able to match the colour I needed and mix up a nice heritage green that suited my needs exactly. The store is definitely bigger than it looks out the front. All varieties of paints are present with all different types. The staff can advise you of what you need for your project and even provide a brush or roller to match. Now I have to work on the interior of the house, so I guess I'd better head back for some off white paint...
