Our Services
-
Yarraville's Victorian and Edwardian workers cottages are full of original timber detail. Weatherboards, verandah timbers, fascias and joinery that were made to last and deserve more than a quick replacement. We source matched profiles and repair or replace with work that fits naturally inside the character of the building.
-
Black Star Built offers performance-focused carpentry upgrades for older Yarraville homes. Draught sealing, weather-resistant barriers, moisture management detailing, window and door replacements. Practical work that improves how period homes hold up and feel to live in day to day.
-
A well-considered outdoor structure adds real value to how a Yarraville property functions. We build decks, pergolas and screens that are detailed carefully from the ground up. Right materials, right junctions, moisture accounted for before a single board goes down. Scoped clearly, finished properly.
-
Internal carpentry within existing Yarraville homes. Joinery, fitouts, alterations and targeted upgrades scoped to what a qualified carpenter can and should take on. No structural work, no full project management. Clean, defined scope every time.
