Quality timber finishes, tailored to your home.

2nd fix carpentry is the finishing work that happens once walls are up: skirting boards, architraves, doors and hardware, shelving and cabinetry. It’s the detail people notice, and it has to be done with precision.

Blake Coleman is a CBS Licensed Contractor (BLD 354391) and 2nd fix carpenter. He has an extensive background as a renovation and maintenance project manager and a residential building site supervisor, and sharpened his carpentry on an off-grid timber-frame home build in Canada, learning from a traditional timber framer with over 40 years’ experience.

From a single replacement door to new skirting through a whole room, or framing and sheeting a new wall, we bring the same care to every carpentry job.
