The bloke behind the work

Hammond & Co is Jake Hammond, a licensed builder out of Merewether with 14 years on the tools.

Jake started out as a carpenter, learning the trade properly before going out on his own in 2017. Since then he's built a name across Newcastle doing residential renovations and extensions: kitchens, bathrooms, second storeys, knock-through living areas, the jobs that change how a home actually lives.

The business runs on word of mouth. No ads, no sales pitch, just one finished job leading to the next. It books out months ahead, and until now it never even had a website. People found Jake because someone they trusted told them to call him.

What you actually get

A builder who turns up when he says he will, keeps you in the loop, and leaves a clean site at the end of every day. Honest about cost from day one, so there are no nasty surprises when the invoice lands. And one person across the whole job from start to finish, not a rotating cast of subbies pointing fingers at each other.

That's the whole reputation. It's why the phone keeps ringing, and it's the only thing Jake cares about protecting.

The standard

Built like it's his own

Every job leaves the site as a place Jake would happily live in himself. That's the bar, and it doesn't move.
