Renovation carpentry in Port Stephens

Decks, cladding, garages and extensions, built to handle the salt and the seasons.

Port Stephens

Coastal renovations, built to last

Homes around the bay deal with salt air, hard sun and long periods empty between visits. Renovation work here has to account for that from the start, in the materials, the fixings and the detailing.

Most of our Port Stephens work is outdoor living: hardwood decks built off steel subframes, stairs and balustrades, and the cladding that finishes the job. We also frame garages and extensions through to lock-up.
