Our Services

We take on small-scale renovation projects that fit neatly within a carpenter’s licensed scope in Victoria. That is, practical, high-quality improvements that transform how you use your space. From reconfiguring layouts to restoring damaged timberwork or updating trims, we handle the details that bring older homes back to life. Every project is completed with care, clear communication and respect for you and your home
Outdoor spaces deserve the same attention to detail as the inside of your home. We build decks, pergolas, privacy screens and storage solutions that blend seamlessly with Kensington’s character homes. Our carpentry focuses on function, durability and finish—using high-quality materials and protective coatings to ensure every outdoor addition stands the test of time and Melbourne’s changing climate.
High-performing homes in Kensington demand precision and respect for heritage — and that’s where Black Star Built excels. Many of the area’s terraces and period houses were built before modern insulation and weatherproofing standards, so we focus on the details that make them perform better: weather-resistant barriers to manage moisture, ventilated cavity battens to prevent decay, and correctly flashed window installations for lasting protection. Our high-performance carpentry combines traditional craftsmanship with modern building science, ensuring Kensington homes remain comfortable, efficient and built to endure.
