I'm Dan, and I help property managers around Byron Bay and Northern Rivers keep their rental properties sorted. No mucking around, just good work done properly.
Give Me a Call to DiscussLook, I get it - you've been burnt before by tradies who don't show up or do dodgy work. Here's why I'm different.
When I say I'll be there Tuesday morning, I'll be there Tuesday morning. With all my tools. Ready to work. Crazy concept, I know.
High-end Airbnb that needs to wow guests? I can do that. Basic rental that just needs to work properly? I can do that too. I adapt to what your property needs.
I'm polite, I clean up after myself, and I actually explain what I'm doing. Makes you look good, which is the whole point.
I'm Dan, and I emigrated here from England. I've had a few career changes in my life - I even used to run an animation company - but I always come back to working with my hands because that's what I love.
I was trained by my dad, who's an expert carpenter. I worked for him for years learning the craft properly. No shortcuts, no "she'll be right" attitude - just proper technique and attention to detail.
When I built my own house (and my own tiny home), I had to deal with a lot of service providers. I was really unhappy with the casual attitude and poor attention to detail I kept seeing. That's exactly what I don't want to be.
As a father myself, I understand the pressure you're under when things go wrong. Tenants calling, deadlines looming, budgets tight. I get things done timely, fast, and efficiently because I know what it's like when you're depending on someone.
I'm very versatile and skilled - I can be your one go-to person to get most work done. And when something needs a bigger team or more specialized skills, I'll tell you honestly and help you find the right people.
I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty - if it needs doing and it's within my skillset, I'll sort it out.

The things that always seem to break at the worst possible moment
Tap won't stop dripping? Kitchen cupboard door won't close? Flyscreen torn? Sliding door stuck? I fix this stuff all day, every day.
I check decks, gutters, fence posts, and pergolas before they become expensive problems. Prevention's better than cure.
Tenant moving out Friday, new one moving in Monday? Hole in the wall, door won't hang right, deck boards loose? Most jobs can be scheduled within the same week.
Need custom storage? Deck looking tired? Kitchen cupboards hanging off? I know the difference between "good enough for a rental" and "wow, this place is amazing."
Gate fallen off? Banister wobbly? Lock snapped off? Emergency repairs get same-day response. I'm usually driving around somewhere anyway.
I'll tell you upfront what a proper job costs versus just getting it working. Clear quotes, no surprise bills, realistic timelines.
Coastal properties cop it hard. Rotten deck boards, fence posts, pergola beams - I use H4 treated timber that's designed for Byron Bay's salt air and humidity.
Squeaky floors keeping tenants awake? Loose boards becoming trip hazards? Gaps letting cold air through? I fix floorboards properly - no temporary patches that fail in 6 months.
No surprises, no drama, just getting stuff done
Most jobs scheduled within the same week. If it's urgent, same-day response. If it needs a sparky or plumber, I'll tell you straight up.
Quality materials, proper tools. I know what works and what doesn't. No shortcuts that cause problems later - my dad would kill me!
I treat your properties with respect - protecting floors and furniture, cleaning up thoroughly, working around tenant schedules where possible.
Clear quotes upfront, realistic timelines, regular updates. If something unexpected comes up, we'll discuss it before proceeding.
Give me a call and tell me what's bugging you. No hard sell, just an honest conversation about what needs doing.
