Skirting & Architraves in Logan
Skirting board and architrave supply, installation and replacement - square-set, bevelled, pencil-round and colonial profiles, scribed, fixed, filled and finished. Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed builder (Licence No. 15620733) delivering skirting and architraves across Logan and the wider South East Queensland region.
Skirting & Architraves in Logan - what to expect
Logan sits between Brisbane and the Gold Coast and offers some of the best renovation value in South East Queensland - larger blocks, solid original construction and owners who improve rather than move. 1970s to 1990s brick low-sets and split-level homes across Springwood, Shailer Park and Daisy Hill, newer estate housing through the southern corridor, and acreage on the bushland fringes. For skirting and architraves specifically, this matters. Split-level plans and sloping bush blocks are the main design consideration, and asbestos-era materials are still common in homes from this period, so testing and licensed removal are budgeted rather than discovered mid-job. Bushfire overlay applies in parts of Daisy Hill and Priestdale. Every 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 skirting and architraves service in Logan
Profiles, heights and material
Primed MDF is stable and paints beautifully for living areas and bedrooms, moisture-resistant board belongs in bathrooms and laundries, and solid timber suits stained finishes and heritage matching. We bring samples to the quote so you can see profiles against your own walls and flooring before committing.
Mitres, scribes and installation quality
Trim work is judged at the corners. External mitres have to close tight and stay closed through humidity swings, internal corners are scribed rather than mitred, and long runs are jointed away from sightlines. Older homes rarely have square corners or flat walls, so skirting is scribed and packed to suit - that is the difference between a carpenter and a nail gun.
Sequencing with flooring and painting
Skirting goes on after flooring so hybrid and timber floors can expand underneath, with the expansion gap concealed by the board instead of scotia. Architraves follow jambs being set plumb and square. Filling, caulking and the final paint coat come after fixing - getting that order wrong is why some jobs end up with visible caulk lines and patchy touch-ups.
What skirting and architraves cost in Logan (2026)
Skirting supplied and installed typically costs $35-$90 per linear metre and architraves $120-$280 per opening. A full replacement through an average four-bedroom home generally runs $6,000-$14,000. Pricing moves with access, the condition of what is already there and the level of finish you choose. Split-level plans and sloping bush blocks are the main design consideration, and asbestos-era materials are still common in homes from this period, so testing and licensed removal are budgeted rather than discovered mid-job. Bushfire overlay applies in parts of Daisy Hill and Priestdale.
How long skirting and architraves take
A single room is usually half a day. Skirting and architraves through a four-bedroom home takes 3-5 days, plus painting.

Frequently asked questions - Logan
How much does it cost to replace skirting through a whole house?
For a typical four-bedroom home in Logan, replacing skirting and architraves throughout generally runs $6,000-$14,000 supplied, installed and finished, depending on profile, linear metres and whether painting is included. Individual rooms are quoted separately if you would rather stage the work.
What skirting height should I use?
Most renovations in Logan now use 90mm-140mm skirting in a bevelled, pencil-round or square-edge profile, replacing the slim 67mm colonial profile used in 1990s and 2000s project homes. Higher-end homes and rooms with tall ceilings often go to 140mm-185mm.
Can you match the trim in a character home?
Yes. We can source or have profiles machined to match existing heritage skirting and architraves, so repairs and new work in older Logan homes blend with the original joinery instead of standing out.
How much do skirting and architraves cost in Logan?
