What our valued customers say about us
“Thankful to have found Placelift. Totally professional from start to finish, responding quickly to my first contact and taking things smoothly from there. Understood the brief perfectly and delivered on time and in budget with no surprises at all, except for the perfect finish which was beyond my expectation. The attention to detail is superb and I could not be happier with the result”
Peter O’Maille, Shankill, Dublin 18
“Placelift recently completed phase 1 of a full house renovation for us. Clodagh, Ivan, Rob and all their contractors have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Everything in the first phase of the job went perfectly to plan. Clodagh’s attention to detail and her persistence for decisions to be made in a timely manner made sure the project stayed on track both in terms of budget and timescales. The scope of the job meant Clodagh and the team had to go above and beyond a regular ‘renovation’. Clodagh steered us through every decision in terms of the options we had and also offering her excellent advice when making these decisions. She ensured everything happened on time and within our agreed budgets.
The Placelift team handled everything from suppliers for finishes, contractors for additional work etc to ultimately deliver the complete renovation. As with any project things were constantly moving and any additional changes we thought of were discussed and never an issue. From a practical perspective they were also very ‘clean’ workers and demanded the same standards from anyone who worked on the project. We will shortly be embarking of Phase 2 with Placelift and I could not be happier to be working with them again. Effective communication on any project is key and Clodagh’s regular professional updates and site visits were excellent. We are delighted with the work completed so far!”
Alan McGonnell, Delgany, Co Wicklow
“We feel that we were really blessed to have been able to work with Clodagh on our house. Clodagh and the team were not only completely professional but a pleasure to deal with. The team are clearly passionate about their work and it shows in the finish. We weren't living in our house while it was renovated, but even our neighbours have commented on how impressed they were by Placelift's reliability. We are very happy with the quality of the work and would recommend them to anyone.”
Rob Andrews, Dundrum, Dublin 14
“Clodagh and Ivan who run Placelift are a perfect team. Clodagh for design and managing and Ivan as the builder with his trades. The brief was to reconfigure a badly designed bungalow in Greystones for modern living. The design incorporated a sizeable extension to include an open plan kitchen/ living /dining. Also new bathroom and bedroom fittings were added as well as an outdoor patio. From start to finish we have been delighted with not just the excellent workmanship that Ivan and his team provided. But also Clodagh with her project managing … always with her great communication and much needed design advice. Placelift has given us a home to be proud of and we can’t thank them enough.”
Richard Taylor, Greystones, Co Wicklow
“Placelift recently completed a renovation on our newly purchased house. The house required a complete update. The renovation involved installing a new heating system, replacing windows and external doors, laying new flooring (laminate, tiling and carpets), internal insulation on external walls, attic insulation with some flooring and shelving, complete refurbishment of the kitchen and bathrooms, knocking a supporting wall to provide an open plan living space and upgrading the plumbing and electrics.
Even before we employed Placelift to do the refurbishment, Clodagh made multiple visits to the property to ensure we got an honest assessment of the work involved and an accurate quote. Both Ivan and Clodagh were aware of our budget limitations and gave sound advice of what to prioritise. They were both extremely professional and an absolute pleasure to deal with. When the project commenced Clodagh guided us through the process. She gave us invaluable help with every single decision we had to make. She is extremely knowledgeable and offered suggestions we wouldn’t have considered ourselves. She was extremely patient and nothing that we asked for was too much trouble. Ivan would always go the extra mile to ensure that any requirements we had were met.
The entire project ran to schedule as they focused on our project alone. Clodagh project managed the whole operation. She was our single point of contact and she dealt with the various contractors required. This was all invisible to us and made our lives so easy.
We are absolutely delighted with the finished product and look forward to moving into our beautiful new home. We cannot recommend Placelift highly enough.'“
- Oisín and Carol, Dublin 16
“We cannot thank Clodagh, Ivan, Rob and team enough, for the amazing job they did on our house. They were extremely professional from start to finish and fantastic to work with. Clodagh's advice and knowledge was amazing and she went out of her way to source the items we were looking for. Ivan and Rob's work ethic and attention to detail made us feel like we were in capable hands.The project was finished over a week early and we are absolutely delighted with the results. We cannot recommend Placelift enough.”
- Andy Loughman, Bray, Co Wicklow
“We recently had our kitchen , shower room and utility renovated by Placelift. I cannot speak highly enough of Clodagh and her team! From the moment I met Clodagh and Ivan , I knew we were in good hands. They were so helpful in bringing our ideas to fruition and the end result surpassed our expectations. Clodagh was great with advice on design, layout and finishes. She allayed any fears I had and was always available to answer questions, she has the patience of a saint! Ivan and Rob were a delight to work with and nothing was any problem. The quality and finish of their work was brilliant. And Vinny’s bespoke shelving and seating were better than we envisaged. All in all they made the whole process very pleasurable . I would highly recommend them for future projects.”
- Michael and Annemarie Kealy, Dublin 16
“Clodagh and the Placelift team recently finished a renovation on my home. They did an amazing job and I couldn't be happier with the end result. We bought our home 5 years ago and it was very dated, dark and in need of updating. We were looking for someone to manage the renovation project for us from start to finish. I came across the Placelift website and decided to give them a call as I liked the look of the previous work they had done. From the first phone call Clodagh made me feel at ease and I instantly warmed to her. She was brilliant, helping us to pick out everything for the house... kitchen, floors, tiles, bathroom. She came to us when it suited us and brought samples of everything we needed to decide on, she made planning the project so easy and hassle free. As the start date of the build approached we were nervous as it was a big project but Ivan and the team put our minds at ease with their work ethic, level of skill and professionalism. We were so impressed with the very high standard of finish and how quickly the work was completed. The house is even better than I imagined it now so bright and modern. We would highly recommend Clodagh and the Placelift team and look forward to working with them again.”
- Danielle & Dave, Dublin 24
“Clodagh and Ivan were fantastic in remodeling my apartment. Nothing was too much trouble and I will definitely use again on my next project.”
- Maria Cassells, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin
“I highly recommend Placelift. They were professional during my recent renovations. Super helpful, courteous, knowledgeable and at all times willing to work with me to get the job done”.
- Ian McGahon, Bray, Co Wicklow
“The thought of having a large part of the back of our house removed, including a supporting wall, gave us many sleepless nights until we contacted Placelift.
Once we met Clodagh and Ivan they immediately put our minds at ease, “nothing was a problem”, however doubts will always exist until we saw how professional they are. Their punctuality and professionalism was amazing. Everything was done when they said it would be done and exactly as we requested.Clodagh’s help with the design of the extension to our kitchen / dining room was invaluable. Her knowledge and recommendations of locations for kitchens, windows, doors, flooring and lighting plus all the things associated with a project of this size is boundless.
Placelift’s backup teams of engineers, plumbers and electricians and of course Robbie were all first class and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Placelift to anyone thinking of refurbishing or extending a property”.
- Joan & Mike, Dublin 18
“From the moment we first contacted Clodagh, her obvious warmth and professionalism shone through.
Our project involved removing an interior supporting wall to open out the kitchen and dining room into a large open-plan space. Clodagh helped enormously with taking our vague ideas to fruition, through her smart suggestions and knowledge about what would work well for our home.
The Placelift team were equally professional and their work was completed to the highest standard. They pulled out all the stops to fit our project in during the pandemic-induced challenging times in order to get us back into our home in time for Christmas.We can’t recommend Clodagh and the Placelift team highly enough and would definitely use their services again in the future”.
- Stephen Oman, Ballycullen, Dublin 24
“I don’t think I could have coped with the jobs involved in the house I bought without the expert advice of Clodagh and her team in Placelift. They were fantastic. What I saw as a problem, they saw as ‘not a bother’. Clodagh is the coordinator and has an incredible back up team of the nicest gentlemen you could meet. Clodagh sourced lights, paint colours, appliances, a kitchen, decking etc., and then her team arrived and put them in place! Painters, plumbers, electricians, and builders, all in the one outfit. A dream machine for anyone contemplating a house renovation. And as a plus, all so pleasant, friendly and competent.
A big thank you to Placelift! I would highly recommend this company.”
- Betty Murphy, Dublin 6
“Clodagh and her team just finished refurbishment on my house. Clodagh's client service was flawless - the best I have seen from any service provider over all industries in my career and I do not say that lightly. Clodagh managed everything seamlessly with no time from myself required, she went out of her way to more than exceed any expectations I had - which were high. All completed within time-frame and I enjoyed the refurbishment so much that I did not want it to end. If anyone is doing a refurbishment on their house, Clodagh is a must - she takes all stresses away and delivers a great product. I could now not imagine a refurbishment being done without Placelift. Definitely check Placelift out today!”
- Mary Nyhan, Dublin 6
"I must say that I was very impressed with Clodagh Doyle and her team from Placelift. Her attention to detail was second to none. Clodagh Doyle is professional, reliable and efficient. She made a house a home."
- Eugene Dooley, Main Street Wicklow Town
“To the A Team! Ivan, Rob, Arturs, headed up by the superb Clodagh. Then there was Vinny, Brian and others….. A sincere and huge THANK YOU for giving us back a fabulous, totally finished renovation. Your work ethic, professionalism and standard of each of your skills and trades were superb. We are so happy with our “new crib”, delighted to have it all done and enjoying living in it! We are happy to be referenced by any future clients. Wishing Placelift continued and growing success - You have a winning formula in your business.”
- Michael & Fidelma, Dublin 18
"Being new to Enniskerry it was most reassuring to come across such professionals but mostly genuine people! Needless to say our project continued to extend. Each request, large or small, was treated equally and completed on time! Ivan and Rob managed to upgrade our bathrooms and kitchen without ever inconveniencing our daily routine. The clean site at the end of every day was testimony to their effort and superb professional conduct. Clodagh’s advice and guidance resulted in us being most pleased with a very successful project!!"
- Tonya Bento, Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow
"Placelift recently did a complete renovation of my proeperty to prepare it for letting. They were fantastic from beginning to end. Clodagh is very easy to deal with, really professional and guided me through the whole process from first phonecall to finished property. The decor she suggested was gorgeous and suited the property. The team did a brilliant job of gutting the property and installing a beautiful new kitchen, bathroom and built in wardrobes. The property was very well received and let in a matter of days. I will definitely use them again for any future projects".
- Emma McGrath, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4
"We were preparing our house for rental, and had a very limited time to get things organised. Clodagh and her team were extremely professional from day one, when Clodagh calmly sat down with us, worked through our requirements and priced very accurately. The works were then done on time, as per estimates, and to a really high standard.
We would thoroughly recommend Placelift to anyone considering preparing a house for sale or rent, and have not hesitated sharing the company's name with our friends and colleagues."
- Andrew McF, Blackrock, Co Dublin
"We found Placelift by doing a general search for builders on Houzz. We had just purchased our first home, which we wanted to renovate quite extensively, but didn't have a clue how to go about it. What we needed was a project partner that could hold our hand each step of the way, and that's just what the team at Placelift did. Lead by Clodagh, the team were absolute angels, nothing we needed was too big or too small, and nothing was ever a problem. We felt they cared about our house as much as we did. Going into the project we had a lot of our own ideas, which Clodagh built on and guided us toward an end product that we absolutely love. It's hard to succinctly put into words just how happy we were with Placelift. We would recommend them to anyone (and have done so)".
- Shona McDonagh, Dublin 12
“The Placelift team exceeded all my expectations in renovating my husband and my rental property after the flooding accident early this year. When the incident occurred, I had very little time to organise the renovation and so choosing trustful company was of critical importance to us. Our objectives were to get our tenants back into safe and restored house as soon as possible and within our allocated budget.
Clodagh from “Placelift” exceeded all our immediate objectives and added lots of value by providing advice that will save us money in the future. Clodagh’s property renovation expertise, interior design, project management, current Home Renovation Incentives schemes are outstanding and made my decision-making process easy and practically stress-free. I have no hesitation in recommending Clodagh from the “Placelift” to anyone who is looking to renovate and restore their property.”
- Marianna O'Neill, Celbridge, Co Dublin
"Thank you Placelift for providing your services to our family following a recent bereavement. Your professionalism, flexibility and sensitivity were a huge relief for the family. The work you did was transformative and will increase the property's value, and to quote the auctioneer, considerably speed up the sale process.
The alternative was to try and assemble, cost and project manage individual labourers for this work which can be chaotic and expensive. With Placelift the entire job was turnkey from initial consultancy through to final skip removal. We would have no hesitation in recommending Placelift  for a hassle-free, quality and cost effective job".
- O'Sullivan Family, Dublin
“Am absolutely thrilled with the transformation! It looks even better in reality! What a superb Placelift team. Everything was so efficiently done. Thank you Clodagh for all the expert advice and sourcing of the various products and thank you Ivan and Rob for completing all the tasks to such a high standard. Hopefully they will be back soon as I have another project for the Placelift team!”
- Gillian Mellon, Darty, Dublin 6
"Just wanted to say thank you for the lovely job you did to bring my bathroom into the 21st century. It was such a pleasure doing business with you. You were so reliable, hard working and efficient and very nice people into the bargain."
- Jimmy Doyle, Dundrum, Dublin 14
“After having tenants in situ for over 11 years, my 3 bedroom semi-detached property had an extensive list of areas to be addressed, before I could consider re-letting. My property needed a complete re-vamp and I wanted to ensure it complied with the necessary rental standards.”
“Being time poor, I searched online to see if I could find one company to oversee every aspect – this is when I found Placelift.”
“Placelift surveyed my property just prior to the tenants moving on and provided a detailed report of my properties specific requirements. Placelift then took care of every last detail including provision of a full inventory for my rental property. Placelift were reliable and efficient and paid attention to every detail and as a result I was delighted when I let my property within 24 hours of advertising.” I would have no hesitation in recommending Placelift and will certainly be using them in the future.”
- Grainne K, Stoneybatter, Dublin 7
“Very impressed with the upgrading of the appearance of the apartment by Placelift. Delighted with how quickly the apartment was let at a satisfactory rent to a quality tenant.”
- Liam O’Connell, Blackrock, Co Dublin
“In May 2014, I was in the process of putting my house up for sale. I heard about Placelift from Clodagh’s News Talk interview with George Hook. My house was built in 1979 and while it had been renovated a few times in that period, it had a slightly dated look and feel, so I decided to bring Clodagh in to take a look and suggest some changes to ensure I received a high sale price. I was very impressed with Clodagh’s ideas in the report that she sent to me and I decided to engage Placelift to carry out the work. The work was done very quickly and to a very high standard. I decided to make a few changes to the original design, as the work was being carried and all changes were accommodated without any problems whatsoever. I was delighted with the finished product especially as it had been completed on a restricted budget. Anyone who saw the house after renovation remarked that it had been transformed. I believe it ensured I received a quick sale and at the best possible price (short of doing a full and very costly renovation). The staging in particular was very important in fully modernising the look of the house and maximising sale price. I would highly recommend a consultation with Placelift for anybody looking to maximise their sale price when going to the house market.”
- Niall O’Meara, Glenageary, Co Dublin
"Placelift project managed and undertook the refurbishment of a rental property for me and did a first class job. The project came in on time and on budget and with very little direction or involvement from myself. The service, expertise and attention to detail as well as the interior design taste was excellent. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Clodagh and the Placelift team."
- Fergal Feeney, Leixlip
“You and your team have done a great job - would have no problem recommending you! It’s a brilliant business - you should franchise it...!”
- Jeff Doyle, Bray, Co. Wicklow
