Do you want more storage?

The ubiquitous under stair open void is potentially the most overlooked space in your home. Often near the front door, it has a decent footprint (if you’re Harry Potter) and blends seamlessly if done right.

This client requested custom push to open doors. The end result is a perfect place to hide boxes, golf clubs & school bags.

If you would like a greater sense of order in your home, please reach out.

The past, present & future

Many history buffs are fanatical about restoration work being period correct when working on significant homes.

But what do home owners do when they can no longer access the materials, techniques and the carpenters who built them? Let these great homes crumble?

We embrace a home’s complete history. This includes “additions” such as children’s heights penciled on the kitchen door, diy work before it became fashionable & in this case glass porticos.

It was restored using treated pine (versus hardwood), colorbond gutters (versus copper) & saving the original glass.

Restoration work is an honour and we are alway grateful for the opportunity. It allows us to preserve a house’s complete history and to pass the batten to the next generation.

If you would like to continue your home’s story, please reach out.

Good Fences Make Good Neighbours

You may get on great with your neighbours, but visual privacy can be important to keeping it that way.

Well maintained fences provide structure, clear boundaries and private spaces for each residence.

Not to mention new fences are viewed positively when selling. It avoids cultural faux pas and unspoken buyer avoidance; asking future neighbours for money often falls into the too hard basket for many.

If you would like a new boundary fence or additional privacy, please reach out.

Why are doors green when you buy them?

Curious? Probably not, but it is a handy thing to know if you own a home. All doors must be painted or sealed (if raw timber). They warp and swell if not protected leading to future issues.

To reduce warranty claims door manufacturers worked out that no one wants bright green doors. The ugly green is a paint thickness indicator, if you can still see green after a prime & two coats, it needs another coat.

Correct clearances, quality hardware, paint colour and overhead coverage if outside all contribute to decades of carefree service.

If want a new door that just works, please reach out.

A Backyard Paradise

When a client thinks about a new pool that is their entire focus. The completed fit & finish is an afterthought; long after the pool builder has departed.

For a more complete feel beyond a sterile pool shell set in concrete we landscaped, tufted and fenced for a stunning end result.

The backyard now feels classy, balanced and most importantly fun for the whole family.

If you would like to transform your backyard, please reach out.

Does your carport roof leak?

To save money we kept the structural steel & replace the roof with Versiclad Versalink 1000.

When installed correctly this composite roofing is suitable for bushfire prone areas (BAL40), large unsupported spans (10m) and where maximum head room is required.

This installation meets a N3 wind rating (windy urban environment) so we know it is staying put during storm season.

Most importantly the thick insulation stops heat from punching through; the smooth underside is modern and deters birds.

If you would your carport repaired, renovated or built, please reach out.

Did you skip the gym today?

Let’s guess; the traffic was too much, there was no parking or perhaps you had the kids.

But do you really have an excuse if your gym is closer than your car?

We refitted this disused shed with an insulated ceilings, a new door & paint. Some mats, weights, a fan and you’re good to go.

If you would like us to build or convert a gym for you please reach out.

A Modern Australian Classic

Is there nothing more Australian than a corrugated iron gate that matches the house & surrounding deck?

Far from an agricultural material it is light weight, requires minimal maintenance and ages gracefully with its surrounds.

If you would like a new gate, please reach out.

Let there be light

Dormers are awesome they passively add light, spaciousness & ventilation to your home; but tend to be ignored until they leak.

Being totally exposed we focused on durability, low maintenance and recreating a look that fit with the house. We included elements such as aluminium windows, breathable membrane & James Hardie Cladding to help achieve this.

If your dormer is leaking, cracked or needs an update, please reach out.
