Carpentry in Coolangatta - what to expect
Coolangatta is the southern-most Gold Coast beach town, with a strong mix of apartments and older homes. Beachfront apartments, original beach cottages on the hill and post-war homes inland. For carpentry specifically, this matters. Direct ocean exposure and strata approvals are the two defining constraints on Coolangatta work. Every Coolangatta project is quoted at a fixed price after a site inspection, delivered by one licensed team, and finished with the documentation and warranties you should expect from a licensed builder.

Our carpentry service in Coolangatta
Structural carpentry
Wall framing, floor framing, roof carpentry, subfloor repairs, stump replacement and structural timber repairs where rot or termite damage has been found. All work is carried out under our QBCC licence with engineering where required.
Custom joinery and built-ins
Built-in wardrobes, entertainment units, media walls, window seats, mudroom storage, study nooks and bespoke shelving. Made to suit your walls rather than a catalogue module, then finished flush so the joinery reads as part of the architecture.
Finish carpentry
Door hanging, skirtings, architraves, cornice, VJ panelling, battened feature walls, staircases and trim repairs. This is the detail people notice - tight mitres, straight scribes, no gaps and no filler doing the work of a good cut.

Frequently asked questions - Coolangatta
Do you take on small carpentry jobs?
Yes. Door hanging, rotten timber repairs, skirtings and architraves, a single built-in robe or a set of shelves are all work we take on in Coolangatta, alongside larger structural carpentry and joinery packages. Small jobs are quoted the same way as large ones - inspected first, then a fixed price in writing.
Are you a licensed carpenter or a handyman?
Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed building company (Licence No. 15620733), not an unlicensed handyman service. In Queensland any building work over $3,300 - including structural carpentry, framing, subfloor and stump repairs - legally requires a licensed contractor, and all of our carpentry in Coolangatta is carried out under that licence and covered by insurance.
Can you repair termite or rot damaged timber?
Yes. Replacing damaged bearers, joists, stumps, wall framing, decking and external trim is regular work for us in Coolangatta. We open up the affected area, confirm the extent of the damage, replace with treated or hardwood timber to suit the location, and involve an engineer where the member is structural.
How much do carpentry cost in Coolangatta?
Smaller carpentry jobs generally start around $1,500-$5,000. Built-in joinery such as robes, entertainment units and media walls typically runs $4,000-$15,000 depending on size and finish. We inspect the property in Coolangatta before quoting, so the figure you receive is a fixed price for your job rather than a generic range.
