Kitchen and pantry joinery, walls 30mm out of square

Full strip-out, new carcasses made to the measured wall rather than a flat-pack module, every panel scribed in, soft-close throughout and a blackbutt end panel to tie it to the floor.

“He scribed every panel in rather than filling the gaps with silicone and hoping we wouldn't notice.”

How a job runs

Four stages, in the order they happen in your backyard — measure, quote, build, handover. You know what is happening and when.

  1. Step 1

    Site visit and measure

    Dan walks the job, checks levels, drainage and access, and tells you on the spot what is worth keeping. Usually 30–40 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Written quote in AUD

    Itemised by materials, labour and disposal, with an option or two so you can see what an upgrade actually costs.

  3. Step 3

    Build

    You get a start date, not a vague window, and a text the night before if the weather moves it.

  4. Step 4

    Walk-through and handover

    We walk it together, sort anything you are not happy with, and the workmanship guarantee comes to you in writing.
