About renovating in Ashgrove

Ashgrove is known for the Ashgrovian - a distinctive interwar Queensland home style - and for family buyers who renovate rather than relocate. Ashgrovian and interwar timber homes on sloping blocks, plus post-war houses through the western streets. Under-house conversions, kitchens, bathrooms and rear decks are the mainstays. Sloping blocks and generous under-croft space make Ashgrove ideal for building in underneath, but head height, drainage and termite management all need to be checked before design. We take on projects of every size in Ashgrove - from replacing a kitchen or laying new flooring through to full home renovations and insurance repairs. Every project is run by one licensed team, quoted at a fixed price after a site inspection, and delivered with clear communication and a tidy site.
