Carpenter in Mermaid Waters - Carpentry & Joinery
Structural and finish carpentry - framing, subfloor and stump work, doors, skirtings, architraves, built-in joinery, media walls, feature walls and timber repairs. Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed builder (Licence No. 15620733) delivering carpentry across Mermaid Waters and the wider Gold Coast region.
Carpentry in Mermaid Waters - what to expect
Mermaid Waters is a family-focused lake and canal suburb between Broadbeach and Burleigh. 1970s to 90s homes on canal and dry blocks, most now needing kitchen, bathroom and flooring renewal. For carpentry specifically, this matters. Waterfront blocks need corrosion-resistant hardware; older slabs need moisture testing before flooring. Every Mermaid Waters 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 Mermaid Waters
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 - Mermaid Waters
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 Mermaid Waters, 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 Mermaid Waters 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 Mermaid Waters. 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 Mermaid Waters?
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 Mermaid Waters before quoting, so the figure you receive is a fixed price for your job rather than a generic range.
