Carpenter in The Gap

Bush-backed streets of post-war timber and 70s brick make The Gap our kind of suburb, and it is core turf for Bernard Building.

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.

Backing onto bush is good for the soul and hard on timber. Shade, leaf litter and damp keep fences, decks and pergolas working for their lifespan, and the post-war homes carry the usual age in their stumps and floors. The Gap is one of our four core suburbs, so a quote visit is never far away. We handle the timber homes' structural repairs and the brick homes' carpentry alike, doors, decks, fences, frames, and treat both with the same care.

  • 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

Helen M.

“Ben responded promptly to my enquiry for replacement of my queenslander front stairs. I found Ben and his team to be professional and courteous. The job was scheduled and completed on time. I am extremely pleased with the result. The site was left clean and tidy. Definitely will use his services again.”

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.
