Grew Up With a Hammer in Hand
I'm one of those strange people who actually enjoys the problem-solving side of building work. I grew up figuring things out with tools in hand, and twenty-odd years later not much has changed. There's something satisfying about taking a piece of timber that's been ignored and deteriorating for years and making it solid again.
Rot repair is my niche because most tradies don't want to touch it. It's fiddly, it requires proper diagnosis rather than a quick quote off a photo, and it demands care with materials and joinery. I do it because I'm good at it and because it genuinely needs doing in most of the older housing stock across Bayside.
I'll tell you what's actually wrong, give you a straight price, and get it sorted without the runaround. If a job is out of my scope I'll say so and point you toward the right person — there's no value in taking on work I can't do properly.
Based in Moorabbin, I work select days each week across the Bayside corridor. No job is too small — a single sill is as worth doing right as a full frame rebuild.
