Carpentry and property maintenance in Murwillumbah

Murwillumbah is the Tweed Valley's town, inland from the coast on the Tweed River under Wollumbin. The housing is older and more timber than anywhere else we work: high-set Queenslander-style homes on the hill, weatherboard cottages in South Murwillumbah and Condong, and hardwood-framed houses on the valley acreage out towards Uki and Tumbulgum.

Timber houses need carpenters, and the valley's humidity, termites and the 2022 floods have left plenty to do: doors that swelled and never went back, skirting and architraves replaced after flood repairs, stumps and bearers, verandah boards and balustrades, and the fences and gates that go with bigger blocks.

Jobs we do in Murwillumbah

  • Replacing swollen doors, skirting and architraves in flood-affected homes
  • Verandah board, handrail and balustrade repairs on Queenslander-style homes
  • Matching colonial and bullnose trim profiles in older cottages
  • Fencing and farm-style gates on valley acreage
  • Painting and plaster patching in Main Street-era homes

Local notes

Post-flood repairs in South Murwillumbah, Condong and Tumbulgum are still ongoing and we're careful to use moisture-tolerant materials and leave ventilation where it's needed. Older homes here often have unusual trim profiles, which we can match or have milled.
