  • Maree & Jake Morice | Owner of M21 Meats

    We recently had the pleasure of working with Maverick Joinery, and I couldn't be happier with my stunning bespoke masterpiece of a kitchen! Zaine attentively listened to our vision and brought it to life even better than I had hoped. The precision, attention to detail, and meticulous planning that went into every aspect of the project are evident in the flawless execution and beautiful design. This dream kitchen is not only functional but also a work of art and the star centrepiece of my home. I wouldn’t change a thing and highly recommend Maverick Joinery.

  • Matt Laity | Owner of Northlit Living

    Zaine's craftsmanship is nothing short of exceptional. The quality and attention to detail in his work is awesome. Michal is great to work with and between the two of them you will be very happy with the service and product that you purchase.

    I chose to work with Maverick Joinery as my hope was to design and bring to life a bespoke kitchen on a moderate budget. Zaine’s product knowledge is incredible and his craftsmanship exceeded any already high expectations I had. He created a masterpiece for my home that was bespoke, original, beautiful and highly functional. From the soft pink meltica, curved wall hung cabinetry handmade with fluted MDF to the Ocean Blue polished marble benches with white sinks - My kitchen is a work of art! From consulting on the kitchen with Zaine we realised we were working with a true designer and joiner who could make ideas that we had not seen anywhere a functional reality. We then had Zaine design all four of our bathroom cabniets, he created and installed archways through out our home as well as creating built in seating and a gorgeous soft blue laundry. We will build again in the near future and from my experience working with Zaine, one of the first contractors I will be locking in is Him! His eye for design married with his product knowledge, his experience and his craftsmanship set him apart in a climate where everything has become generic with the popularity of house and land packages. To have this quality of business in Taupo is a gift, it feels like you are working with a highly skilled joiner straight out of New York.
