Ricki Maschera Extraordinaire in Wellington

If you’ve been cruising through Hutt Valley, Porirua, or the Kapiti Coast and spotted a building so spotless it could moonlight as a mirror—chances are, Ricki Maschera had a hand (or a high-powered hose) in it.

Ricki’s not just your average property fixer-upper—he’s a full-blown solution machine with a mop in one hand and a can-do attitude in the other. Home cleaning? Sorted. Commercial washing? Too easy. Meth, mould, asbestos? No worries, mate—Ricki’s got it covered and then some.

From Builder’s Boots to Candoo Roots

Before donning the Candoo cap, Ricki was knee-deep in building maintenance, project management, and real estate clean-ups—turning problem properties into showpieces all across Wellington. With 12 years of experience and a head built for solutions (not problems), he doesn’t just wipe surfaces—he wipes away stress.

Time management? Customer service? Building genuine relationships? Ricki’s mastered the lot—and he does it with a grin and a yarn for good measure.

The Man Making Wellington Shine

From the buzz of Wellington city to the breezy vibes of Te Horo, Ricki’s patched up, cleaned out, and revitalised more properties than you can shake a broom at. No job too big, no carpet too muddy, no wall too grimy.

But Ricki’s not just about buildings—he’s about people. Whether it’s lending a hand to his church community or helping out in the disability sector, he’s the kind of bloke who shows up, rolls up his sleeves, and cracks on.

Why Ricki Candoo (And Does It Properly)

Why did Ricki hitch his wagon to Candoo? Simple: “Great brand, great people, and a real shot at growing with a team that backs you.” Sounds about right, mate.

And if you think he’s just there to tick a box, think again. Ricki’s all about the big finish—the sparkle in a client’s eye when the job’s done right and the mess is just a memory.

Beyond the Jobsite

When he’s not battling floodwaters or sending stains packing, you’ll find Ricki living it up with his kids, revving up for motorsports, or soaking in life at “the Mount.” (Word is he’s also a bit of a foodie and a whiz at discovering new cultures.)

His work motto? It’s pretty simple: “Always on time, always with a smile, and always going above and beyond.” And honestly, that’s what being Candoo is all about.

So if your property’s looking a bit worse for wear—or you just need someone who actually gets it—give Ricki a call.

Because if you can’t, Ricki Candoo.
