Repairs & Maintenance

A sticking door. Gutters pulling away from the fascia. A step that flexes when you stand on it. Small things, until they let water in. We fix them properly and tell you what caused them, so they stay fixed.

No job is too small. The first visit covers the first 2 hours, includes travel in Masterton, so if you've got a list, we'll work through it in one go.

More about gutters and spouting.

Carpentry

Bryan started out as a carpentry apprentice and has been back on the tools since 2018, so beyond shelves and doors he can frame, trim, build and finish, knowing how timber moves and which fixings hold in older homes.

From floating shelves in a hallway to a laundry fit-out or a built-in wardrobe, every job gets the same care.

Bigger projects start with a ballpark from your photos, at no charge, and get a written price before anything starts. See Pricing.

Outdoor Projects

The wind that comes over the Tararuas doesn't forgive flimsy fences or underbuilt decks. We build outside work for it: the right timber, the right fixings and the right post spacing, from town boundary fences to farm fencing on lifestyle blocks.

For decks, we check the ground and drainage before we price it. Most decks don’t need a building consent. If yours might (for example it’s high, covered or attached to the house), getting the consent is your responsibility, and Bryan will talk it through with you.

Bigger builds start with a ballpark from your photos, at no charge, then a written quote if you want one, and can be split into stages so you can start with part of it. See Pricing.

Storm Damage

A big nor'wester lifts flashings, topples fences and tears trellis off walls. The damage you can see is only half of it: a missing flashing left for a week means water behind the cladding, and that is where a small repair turns into a big bill.

Call or text and tell us what's happened, with a photo if you can. If it's urgent, we'll put it first.

Insurance repairs start with a ballpark from your photos, at no charge. If your insurer needs a written quote, the quote visit is $247.50 including GST, plus travel outside Masterton. If we do the work, it comes off your bill. If you take a cash settlement instead, it covers our time. Either way, you get a full written invoice to send to your insurer.

Painting & Prep

We do full repaints, inside and out, and the maintenance painting that keeps a house watertight: spot repairs, recaulking, and flaking paint stripped and recoated before it lets water in. We also touch up after our own carpentry, and we wash houses and buildings.

A full repaint starts with a ballpark from your photos, at no charge, then a quote visit if you want a fixed price. We do the prep and the painting, so Bryan looks after the whole job.

The List Jobs

You know the list. The hinge that needs tightening, the cupboard door that won't close, the curtain track, the fence paling blown off in June that's still leaning against the garage. (The dripping tap is a plumber's job.)

The first visit covers the first 2 hours, includes travel in Masterton, so three or four small jobs in one visit costs far less than separate call-outs. Send us the list first, so we bring the right materials.

Get a price online and put your list in the description, or call or text Bryan on 027 202 5876. More about small jobs.

Trees, gardens and digger work

Bigger outdoor jobs, done with our own gear. Every one of these is priced from photos first, so you know roughly where you stand before anyone drives out.

Send a few photos for a ballpark from your photos, at no charge.

We cover the whole Wairarapa

Based in Masterton. Outside Masterton, travel is $1.21 a km including GST, round trip, and we tell you the amount before booking.
