Renovations & carpentry in Paddington
Character cottage and Queenslander renovations in Paddington. Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed renovation and carpentry company (Licence No. 15620733) servicing Paddington and the surrounding Brisbane suburbs.
About renovating in Paddington
Paddington is hilly, tightly packed and full of character housing. Renovating here rewards builders who can work on difficult sites without damaging what makes the home worth keeping. Timber workers' cottages and Queenslanders on steep, narrow blocks, many already partially renovated. Kitchens, bathrooms, under-house conversions and rear decks are typical. Steep sites, tight street frontages and character overlay constraints are the three big factors. Material handling is often manual, so honest quoting up front matters more here than almost anywhere in Brisbane. We take on projects of every size in Paddington - 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.

Our services in Paddington
Home renovations in Paddington
Whole-home and partial renovations - layout changes, structural openings, wet areas, kitchens, flooring, joinery, painting and services upgrades, delivered by one licensed team. Timber workers' cottages and Queenslanders on steep, narrow blocks, many already partially renovated. Kitchens, bathrooms, under-house conversions and rear decks are typical. We quote after a proper inspection so the number you sign reflects the house you actually own.
Kitchen renovations in Paddington
Custom kitchen renovations from a like-for-like refresh through to full structural reconfiguration with an island, walk-in pantry and integrated appliances. Kitchens are the single most requested renovation in Paddington, and we manage cabinetry, stone, plumbing, electrical and tiling as one coordinated program.
Carpentry and joinery in Paddington
Structural and finish carpentry - framing, subfloor and stump work, doors, skirtings, architraves, built-in joinery, media walls, feature walls and timber repairs. Our carpenters run every renovation we take on, which is why the detailing is right the first time.
Decking and outdoor living in Paddington
Timber and composite decks, pergolas, patios, pool surrounds and outdoor entertaining areas engineered for Queensland conditions.
