Custom Carpentry Solutions for Any Project

Yes — custom built-in wardrobes are a popular carpentry project. We design and build to your specific dimensions and internal layout requirements, using MDF or melamine for a painted or laminate finish, or timber for a more premium appearance.

Yes — stair repairs (replacing damaged treads, fixing creaking stairs, replacing damaged balustrades) and full staircase replacement are projects our carpenters handle. Stair construction must comply with the Building Code regarding riser height, going depth, and balustrade requirements.

Yes — replacing damaged or rotten floor boards in hardwood or pine floors, filling gaps between boards, and securing squeaking floors are all carpentry repairs we undertake. Floor sanding and finishing is typically a specialist floor sanding trade scope.

We can replace timber window frames and sash windows as a carpentry project. Aluminium window replacement typically involves a window supplier/installer. We can advise on the most appropriate approach for your specific window type.

We do our best to accommodate scheduling requirements including weekend work subject to availability. Contact us to discuss your timeline.

In Queensland, most decks under 10m² and attached pergolas under certain dimensions are exempt from council approval (a Building Development Approval). However, larger decks, decks above a certain height, and freestanding structures over certain sizes typically require a BA. We check the relevant requirements for your specific job and council area as part of our quoting process and can assist with lodging a BA application where required.

For Queensland conditions, we recommend hardwood species like Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, Merbau, and Ironbark — these are durable, termite-resistant, and look beautiful. Treated pine is a more affordable option and performs well with regular oiling. Composite decking is a low-maintenance alternative that won't rot or splinter. We'll discuss the options, maintenance requirements, and price differences during your quote.

A standard timber deck (50–80m²) typically takes 3–7 days from the start of construction. This includes setting posts, laying bearers and joists, installing decking boards, and building stairs and balustrades. Larger or more complex builds take longer. Lead times from quote to start depend on our current schedule — contact us for current availability.

Queensland's UV and humidity requires regular deck maintenance. We recommend: cleaning the deck with a deck cleaner annually, sanding back rough or weathered areas every 2–3 years, and oiling or re-coating with a quality timber finish every 1–2 years depending on sun exposure and foot traffic. A well-maintained hardwood deck will last 25–40 years. We also offer deck oiling and restoration as a separate service.

Yes — we build both freestanding and house-attached pergolas. Attached pergolas involve fixing into the fascia or wall of the house and require careful waterproofing and flashing to prevent water ingress. We also offer pergolas with roof panels (Colorbond, polycarbonate) for weather protection, and can integrate lighting and ceiling fans into the design.

We handle a wide range of timber repairs including: rotted deck boards and joists, damaged or termite-affected stumps, split or broken balustrade members, sagging or uneven deck structures, fascia and eave repairs, and timber frame repairs in walls and floors. We inspect the full scope of damage before quoting so there are no surprises during the job.

Yes — sloped blocks often make the best deck sites because they allow for a raised deck with views and airflow beneath. We use deep concrete footings and adjustable steel posts to create a level deck platform regardless of ground slope. Building on slopes does require careful engineering and can increase cost, which we'll factor into your quote.

Yes — pool decking is one of our most popular projects. We build timber and composite pool decks that comply with Queensland pool fencing and safety requirements. Hardwood pool decks look fantastic and are durable. We also ensure correct drainage around pool areas to prevent water pooling and slipping hazards. We'll coordinate with any pool fencing requirements during the design.
