About Black Star Built
Black Star built is a local carpentry and renovation business based in Newport. We combine hands-on carpentry skill with practical building knowledge to deliver high-quality, detail-focused residential work. While we don’t design homes, we collaborate closely with homeowners, builders and architects to bring their plans to life - with workmanship that’s dependable, efficient and grounded in respect for the home.
From home renovations and kitchen upgrades to timber decking, bathroom updates, and small extensions, we approach every project with care and consistency. Our work is rooted in the character of Melbourne’s inner west and inner north, and we understand the timber, heritage and housing styles that define places like Yarraville, Seddon, Kensington and Williamstown.
The name Black Star Built represents quality that endures, work that holds its shape, and a clear commitment to doing things right. As we continue to evolve, we’re shifting our focus toward high performance carpentry — delivering projects with tighter tolerances, better detailing and materials that last.
By staying small, skilled and local, we’re able to offer a more personal, honest service — one that values transparency, good communication and results that genuinely improve how people live in their homes.
If you're looking for a reliable carpentry team for your next home renovation or small-scale building project, we’d love to help.
