About renovating in Gilston
Gilston is a semi-rural pocket on the Nerang River where larger blocks, acreage homes and hinterland outlooks are the norm. A mix of 1980s brick homes, timber cottages and larger acreage residences, many with outbuildings, verandahs and decks that need renewal. Bushfire and flood overlays apply in parts of Gilston, which affects material selection and approvals for decks and additions. Long driveways also mean staging deliveries carefully. We take on projects of every size in Gilston - 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.
