Part of our handyman and carpentry work.

Small renovations and building work

Small renovations and fitted carpentry in Bangalow, Lennox Head and the surrounding Northern Rivers, done by a qualified carpenter. Homesmith builds in shelving, fits out wardrobes, makes window seats and replaces cladding, architraves and timber that has gone.

We have spent twenty years on finishing work, and fitted carpentry is where that shows most: wardrobes, panelling and shelving that line up with the room they sit in. Once we have seen the job, or photos of it, you get one number for the whole thing.

Larger jobs quoted fixed after photos or a visit. Materials charged separately at cost.

12 month workmanship guarantee · Fully insured · The place left cleaner than when we arrived

Detail

What we take on

We build fitted work in place: shelving that follows an out of square wall, a seat under a window that looks original, panelling with joints that land where they should.

We do not build new decks, we do not touch structural work, and we do not take on anything that needs a licensed builder's scope. When a job crosses that line we say so plainly and refer you to someone who holds the licence.

Send photos and rough measurements. Most jobs get a price without a visit. Anything unusual gets a look first, then a price.

Common questions

Small renovations and building work questions we get asked

What counts as a small renovation?

Fitted carpentry and repair work: built-in shelving, window seats, wardrobe fit-outs, cladding, skirting and architraves, door and window replacement, panelling. A day or several days, not a build.

Do you quote a set price for renovation work?

Yes, after photos or a look at the job. From $420 + GST a half day or $760 + GST a full day, for one smith, and larger jobs get one number for the whole thing before we start.

Are you a licensed builder?

We are a qualified carpenter with twenty years of finishing and fit-out work behind us. Anything needing a licensed builder or a licensed trade gets referred on.

Do you build new decks?

No. We repair, re-board and maintain existing decks. New decks go to a builder.

How does pricing work?

Send the list and we will tell you whether it is a half day or how many days it looks like, from $420 + GST for a half day or $760 + GST for a full day, for one smith, fixed before we start. If there is time left over, we keep working down whatever else is on your list.
