Home renovations in Grange

Grange runs to two kinds of houses, gabled Queenslanders and tidy post-war homes, and each asks for a different renovation.

What we do

Renovations, run by the builder.

Renovation carpentry is the middle of our trade at Bernard Building. Structural work first: new beams and openings, walls out, verandahs and decks tied into the house properly. Then the finishing carpentry that makes the new work read as part of the original home. We are owner led. Ben quotes every renovation himself, works on the tools with the crew, and is the same bloke you call when something needs deciding.

The gabled Queenslanders on Grange's tree-lined streets want their character kept: VJ walls, timber floors, verandah detail, all retained while the plan behind them opens up. The post-war homes a few streets over take a freer hand, with walls out and extensions on. We do the structural and finishing carpentry for both, and Ben will tell you plainly which house you have and what it wants before a price goes on paper.

  • Opening up closed post-war floor plans
  • Verandahs, decks and outdoor rooms
  • New beams, openings and wall removals

“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.

Before we start, you get a written scope that says what is being done and in what order. Renovations run in stages, so we plan around the ones that make dust and noise, keep the site tidy at the end of each day, and keep you across anything we find once the walls are open. One point of contact, no surprises.

Do you do structural work?

Yes. Structural carpentry is the core of our renovation work: beams, load-bearing wall removals, new openings, subfloor and framing repairs. We are QBCC licensed (15357497) and we work to the engineering, not around it. Where an engineer or certifier is needed, we coordinate that as part of the job.

Can we live in the house during the renovation?

Usually, yes. Most of our renovations are staged so the household keeps a working kitchen and bathroom for as long as possible. We are upfront about the noisy, dusty stretches and we leave the site tidy and safe at the end of every day. If a stage would make the house unliveable, we tell you before it starts.

Which areas do you renovate in?

We work across 36 Brisbane suburbs, from the inner north-west out to the east and south sides. The Gap, Ashgrove, Bardon and Kedron are our home turf, but Ben quotes renovations anywhere on our list. If you are nearby and not sure, call and ask.
