Kitchen renovationsLaundries with more bench space and storage, from a full room to a laundry in a cupboard, with the wet areas waterproofed before tiling.
Laundry renovationsInterior and exterior painting for established homes, including heritage precincts, with the surfaces patched, sanded and primed first. Under a heritage overlay, painting a surface that hasn’t been painted before can need a planning permit, so we check first.
Interior and exterior paintingNew Class 1 homes and villa units built from the slab to handover, plus Class 10a garages, carports and sheds. New homes are built all-electric from 2027, and we plan for that from the start.
