Every job is handled personally by Rhys — from the first measure to the final nail. No shortcuts, no surprises.
G'day, I'm Rhys Powell — owner and operator of Norman Roofing and Carpentry, based right here in Canberra. I've spent the last 7 years in the trade, and after years of working for others I decided to back myself and build something of my own. Best decision I've ever made.
What I love most about running my own business is the freedom to do things properly. When you deal with Norman Roofing and Carpentry, you're not handing your job off to a subcontractor or dealing with a sales rep who's never picked up a hammer. You deal directly with me — and I'm the one turning up to your home every day until the job is done right.
We're not a big corporate outfit and we never want to be. We're Canberra locals who take genuine pride in our work, communicate clearly every step of the way, and treat your home like it's our own. If that sounds like the kind of tradie you've been looking for, I'd love to hear from you.
"Rhys was quick to provide a quote and we are very pleased with his work, which turned out to be very affordable. We will be using him again for future projects. I highly recommend him."
"Excellent craftsmanship, great customer service — really happy with the result!"
"Rhys responded very quickly and arrived on time. He was happy to discuss the issue and find pragmatic solutions without going overboard — at a very reasonable price."
