This project involved the renovation of the home’s bathrooms, kitchen, living and dining areas.
New double-glazed joinery was installed in place of the original timber joinery, and the original brick fireplace was removed to create more space in the lounge and opposite bedroom.
Outside at the rear of the property, we faced the challenging task of transforming the sloped grass yard in preparation for the pool and landscaping. With the great experience of Danny from Finishrite Pools, getting the pool in was a dream. We then built the retaining walls and deck around it.
The client was after something a little different with the retaining walls so we had to machine and dress the timber slats on-site and fix them to a board so you couldn’t see through the gaps. The outcome was amazing for all involved.
