Renovations & fit-outs

Small renovations and fit-outs, finished properly

Not every renovation needs a builder, a project manager and a six-month program. A lot of coastal homes just need one room brought up to date: a laundry re-lined and fitted out, a spare bedroom turned into an office, a tired living area re-skirted, re-doored and repainted.

That's the size of job we do best. One trade-qualified carpenter runs the work from strip-out to final coat, brings in a licensed plumber or electrician when the job needs one, and stays until it's finished. You get one point of contact and one invoice.

What's included

  • Strip-out, re-lining and plasterboard patching
  • New doors, skirting, architraves and cornice
  • Built-in wardrobes, shelving and laundry cabinetry
  • Feature walls: VJ panelling, battens and timber cladding
  • Painting and finishing
  • Coordination of plumbers, electricians and tilers as needed

How it works

  1. 01

    Site visit to measure and talk through what you want.

  2. 02

    Itemised quote, with any other trades listed separately so nothing is hidden.

  3. 03

    Work is scheduled in one run so your home isn't a building site for weeks.

Questions we get asked

We focus on single rooms and small fit-outs. For a full-house renovation or an extension you'll need a licensed builder; we're happy to say so and can often recommend one.

Yes. We work with licensed local trades on the Southern Gold Coast and Tweed and schedule them into the job. Their work is itemised separately on the quote.

Typically three to six working days depending on whether plumbing moves. We'll give you a start and finish date on the quote.
