Do you service all areas from Byron Bay to Tweed Heads?

Absolutely! I cover the whole Northern Rivers region from Byron Bay to Tweed Heads - including Ballina, Lismore, Mullumbimby, and Bangalow. Living here myself, I get the coastal property challenges we all face.

How quickly can you respond to emergency repairs?

Need this sorted quickly? I can usually fit emergency work in within a day or two. For urgent stuff like storm damage or security issues, give me a call: 0481 457271 - I'll prioritize getting your place secure again.

What types of kitchen door repairs do you handle?

Look, I tackle all the annoying kitchen door problems - broken hinges, warped doors, drawer sliders that stick, soft-close bits that don't work. I use quality hardware that actually lasts in our salty coastal air.

Do you use marine-grade materials for coastal properties?

Absolutely. Living here myself, I know salt air's tough on everything. I use marine-grade stainless steel, coastal timber treatments - stuff that's actually built for our conditions. No point using cheap materials that'll just rust out in a year.

How much do typical handyman services cost?

Right, so kitchen door stuff starts around $120, deck restoration's about $33 per square meter, gutters from $250, and emergency callouts have a $150 minimum. I always give you a free quote first - no surprises, no hidden costs.

Are you fully insured for property work?

Absolutely - I'm fully insured and take pride in getting things right. Your place is protected, and everything I do meets Aussie building standards. No cutting corners here.

Can you help with holiday rental maintenance between guests?

Yeah, absolutely! I get how stressful those tight turnarounds can be between guests. I'm pretty quick with the maintenance stuff - keeping your Airbnb guest-ready so you don't lose bookings.

What's included in your deck restoration service?

I'll clean it up properly, sand back the rough bits, fix any dodgy boards, then treat it with marine-grade stuff that actually works in our salty air. The whole point is making your deck last longer in this harsh coastal climate we've got.

Because every small job deserves big care

Look, I believe every small job deserves big care. You deal directly with me — no big teams, no layers of management, just honest communication and quality work.

I was trained by my father, a master carpenter, and I bring that craftsmanship and a designer's mindset to every project. I genuinely love fixing things, improving homes, and making properties safer, stronger, and more beautiful.

Whether it's a quick repair, a custom build, or ongoing maintenance, I focus on practical, lasting solutions. I listen to what needs doing, plan it properly, and get it done efficiently and professionally.
