Local carpenter & handyman in Southport

Southport is the Gold Coast's main business centre, and its housing reflects that. Close to the light rail, the Gold Coast University Hospital and Griffith University you'll find unit blocks and apartment towers, while the streets further back still have plenty of older houses, many of them lowset brick or timber homes that have been around for decades. A big share of the homes here are rented out.

Rentals see heavy use. Doors get kicked, handles wear out, furniture punches holes in plaster and screen doors take a beating. Between tenancies there's usually a list of repairs that needs doing properly before the next people move in. We work with owners and property managers to get through it, and we tell you which items are a quick fix and which are worth replacing outright.

In the older houses, the work is more about age: doors that have dropped in frames that have moved, fences that have had their day, and timber damaged by termites once a licensed pest controller has treated the property. We're based in Hope Island, around 25 minutes away. Isaac is a QBCC licensed carpenter with more than 26 years' experience, and we're fully insured.
