Clayfield Queenslander Renovation Experts

Many Clayfield families stay during renovation with careful planning. We create temporary kitchen facilities, schedule noisy work during school hours, work room-by-room where possible, maintain clean and safe work areas, and communicate daily about activities. Some families choose to move out for major structural work. We work with your family's preferences and school schedules.
