Renovations & carpentry in Ripley
Renovations, decking and home improvements across the Ripley Valley. Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed renovation and carpentry company (Licence No. 15620733) servicing Ripley and the surrounding Ipswich suburbs.
About renovating in Ripley
Ripley Valley is one of Australia's largest greenfield development areas, and the first wave of homes built here is now old enough that owners are adding what the original build left out. Near-new project homes on small to mid-sized estate lots, with older rural holdings on the valley fringes. Covered outdoor areas, decking, storage joinery, media walls and flooring replacement are the dominant requests. Reactive clay soils are widespread through the valley, so slabs, footings and deck posts need to be designed for movement. Development approvals in the Ripley Valley Priority Development Area follow their own scheme, which we check before design is locked in. We take on projects of every size in Ripley - 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.
