Carpenter in Norman Park

Pre-war timber near the river means Norman Park homes are older than most of their owners realise, and old timber talks.

What we do

Carpentry done properly.

A carpenter earns their keep on the jobs nobody photographs. Rotted stumps, sagging joists, doors that jam every summer, stairs that move underfoot. Bernard Building handles that work across Brisbane: general carpentry and repairs on timber homes, done properly the first time. Ben Bernard quotes every job himself, works on the tools with the crew, and stays your contact from the first walk-through to handover. QBCC licensed, 12 years in construction.

Creaks, sticking doors and a floor that slopes toward one corner are a pre-war home's way of asking for attention. On Norman Park's quiet streets the causes are usually familiar: stumps at the end of their life, joists gone soft near a bathroom, window sills that have held water for years. We work across Norman Park putting that right, structural first, cosmetic second. Repairs use timber to match the original, and Ben explains what he found in plain terms before anything is priced.

  • Rot and water damage repairs
  • Stumps, joists and bearers replaced
  • Doors, windows, architraves and skirting
  • Deck, stair and verandah repairs
  • Fences, gates and small structural fixes

Straight answers

Before you call.

Every job starts the same way. Ben walks the house with you, looks at what is actually going on under the floor or behind the frame, and sends a written quote that says what will be done and what it costs. The crew turns up when they said they would, keeps the site tidy, and cleans up before they leave. That is the whole system.

Do you take on small jobs?

Yes. A sticking door, a rotted stump, a run of skirting. Small repairs are a normal part of the week, and they get the same treatment as a full deck: Ben quotes it, the crew does it properly, the site is left clean. If it is too small for us, we will tell you on the phone.

Are you licensed?

Bernard Building holds QBCC licence 15357497. Ben has 12 years in construction and quotes every job himself, so the person pricing the work is the person responsible for it. You can check the licence on the QBCC register any time.

Which areas do you cover?

We work across 36 Brisbane suburbs, mostly the inner north, west and east. Our core turf is The Gap, Ashgrove, Bardon and Kedron, but we quote jobs anywhere on the list, from Nundah down to Rocklea. If you are nearby but not sure, call Ben and ask.
