Portfolio

Our Services

  • Melbourne's inner west and inner north are full of Victorian, Edwardian and interwar homes with timber details worth preserving. We work on these homes with an understanding of how they were built and how to match existing detail without it looking wrong. Weatherboards, fascias, porch timbers and trims repaired or replaced with respect for the original work.

  • Older homes lose heat, let in moisture and deteriorate in ways that aren't always obvious. We offer practical upgrades that improve how your home performs. Draught sealing, weather resistant barriers, moisture management, high performance window and door replacements and insulation fitting. Technical work, done carefully.

  • We build decks, screens and custom outdoor seating designed to suit Melbourne's conditions and the way you actually use your space. Every project is tailored to the site and finished with the same care and attention we bring to everything we do.

  • Internal carpentry for homeowners improving part of their home rather than renovating the whole thing. Non-structural walls, internal doors, skirting and architraves, built-ins and the finishing work that ties new and existing together.

    Best suited to clearly scoped jobs or staged improvements, where the new work needs to match what’s already there. No structural changes or full project management.
