Come and work here
Fourteen people, a workshop in Adenta and enough work booked to the end of the year. If you are good and you turn up, this is a decent place to spend a decade.

Why people stay here
Four people here have been with us more than eight years, in a trade where a year is normal. This is the whole of the reason, with nothing dressed up.
Paid on the last Friday, always
Monthly, on time, thirteen years running. Overtime at time and a half and paid in the same month it was worked.
Employed, not day-hired
A contract, SSNIT contributions and paid leave. We do not run a pool of casual labour and never have.
Tools that work
Company tools, replaced when they fail rather than when the budget allows. Personal hand tools are yours and we contribute to them.
Trained on our time
Two apprentices a year through the workshop, and anybody who wants a certificate gets the fees and the day off to sit it.

Four jobs, with the money on them
Ring the office or come to the workshop in Adenta on a Saturday morning with your tools. We would rather watch somebody work for an hour than read a CV.

What people say
Trusted by people who live here
They took the kitchen out on a Monday and we were cooking in it three weeks later, on the day they said. The price at the end was the price on the first page.

We had two builders quote before them and both were cheaper. Both also wanted half the money up front. Abode took a third, showed us the schedule, and never asked for more.

I let four flats and I have used them on all of them. What I pay for is not the tiling — it is that I get one call a week and I never have to go and stand there myself.
Mansa Owusu
Airport Residential
The old bathroom leaked into the room below every rainy season for six years. They stripped it to the block, tanked it and re-tiled. Two rainy seasons now, nothing.

We lived in the house the whole time with a two-year-old. Every evening the site was swept and the doors were on. That sounds small until you have had builders who did neither.
Serwaa Boateng
Adenta
The rewire found things in that house that frightened me. They stopped, called me, showed me, and gave me a price to fix it before touching anything. That is all I wanted.
