What we do

Start to finish,
one builder

Most builders hand you off to a string of subbies and disappear. Jake runs the whole job himself, from the first measure-up to the last coat of paint. No juggling trades, no finger-pointing, no surprises on the invoice.

Home extensions

Ground-floor add-ons and second-storey additions. More room without moving house.

Full renovations

Whole-home or room-by-room. Old weatherboard to modern, the lot.

Kitchens

Design, build, install. The room that sells the house.

Bathrooms

Full strip-outs and rebuilds. Waterproofing done right the first time.

Decks & outdoor living

Alfresco areas, decks, pergolas. Newcastle weather, sorted.

Granny flats

Self-contained second dwellings. Rental income or room for family.

Word of mouth

What Newcastle says

Every job on this site came from someone telling a mate. That's the only marketing that's ever mattered to Jake.

★★★★★
Jake did our second storey and we couldn't be happier. Turned up every day, kept us in the loop, and the finish is spot on. Would have him back tomorrow.

Reno'd our whole kitchen. Honest about cost from day one, no surprises, cleaned up every arvo. Rare these days.

★★★★★
Had three quotes, went with Jake because he actually explained things. Best decision. Bathroom looks unreal.
