Word gets around

What the neighbours say

“The best part of the house.”

“The old deck was falling apart and the new one is the best part of the house now. Quote was straight up, no surprises.”

“You can't tell where the patches are.”

“Tracked down matching boards for a hundred-year-old floor. You honestly can't tell where the patches are.”

“Turned up when he said he would.”

Turned up when he said he would, cleaned up every day, and the fence looks a million bucks.”

“All done in a day.”

“Had a list of little jobs no one else would touch. All done in a day and done properly.”

“It's not going anywhere, ever.”

“He found recycled ironbark for the arbour instead of ordering new pine. It's not going anywhere, ever.”

“Paid for itself.”

“New deck went in fast while we were getting the place ready to sell. Agent reckons it paid for itself.”

Salvaged, not scrapped

Good timber deserves a second life.

Recycled 200x200 ironbark posts for an arbour. Baltic pine tracked down board by board to match a heritage home. Old timber has already done its shrinking and its warping; it usually outlasts the new stuff.
