Featherston sits at the foot of the Remutaka hill, about 30 minutes from Masterton — older cottages, a damp climate and the wind straight off the range. Repairs, carpentry, draught-proofing, fencing and list jobs, done properly. Rates published upfront, travel confirmed before we book.
Everything on our services list travels to Featherston: repairs and maintenance, carpentry, fencing and decks, storm damage, painting prep, and bundled list jobs. A lot of Featherston housing is older worker's and railway-era cottages, and the jobs reflect that — draught sealing, rot and damp repair, doors and windows that have moved, and weatherproofing before winter really bites.
Bundle the list. Once we're on site the two-hour minimum is covered, so it's far cheaper to work through several jobs in one visit than to book them separately.
Featherston is the gateway off the Remutaka hill, and it gets the weather to match — colder, damper, and exposed to the wind that funnels down off the range. That's hard on older cottages: paint that flakes and lets water in, flashings that lift, spouting pulled off the fascia, and timber that stays wet long enough to rot.
The fix is almost always cheaper caught early. A few hours of prep, sealing and flashing work saves the carpentry bill that follows once water is behind the cladding. We know what this end of the valley does to a house, and we build repairs to stand up to it.
Same published rates everywhere: $247.50 covers the first two hours on site, then $109.25/hr. Travel from Masterton is $1.05/km round trip — for Featherston that's typically about $75, confirmed exactly before booking.
Materials at standard retail with no handling margin. If a job looks like running longer than expected, we stop and check in with you before carrying on.
