About Black Star Built

Black Star Built is a small carpentry and renovation business based in Newport, working across Melbourne’s Inner West and Inner North. We build for people who care about craft — homeowners who value the story, texture and detail of their spaces as much as the finish.

Our work is hands on and deliberate. From weatherboard repairs and framing to WRB installation, window detailing, decks and verandahs, every job is carried out with precision and respect for the home. We’re not chasing scale, we focus on getting the small things right so the home performs, lasts and feels solid.

We collaborate with homeowners and builders who share that mindset. That is, people who understand that real quality isn’t loud, it’s built quietly, layer by layer. Everything we do stays within a carpenter’s licensed scope, combining building knowledge with honest workmanship.

Black Star Built grew out of Melbourne’s west; a place defined by grit, heritage and change. That mix of old character and new energy shapes how we build: straightforward, disciplined and made to last.
