Skirting boards and architraves for Benowa homes
Plenty of Benowa homes still carry narrow 1970s or 1980s skirting that looks dated next to modern flooring. Swapping to a taller square-set or colonial profile is a fast, low-cost change that lifts every room in the house.
Benowa is a central, leafy suburb known for its schools, golf course and larger family homes.
1980s and 90s homes on generous blocks, plus waterfront properties near the Nerang River.
Larger original homes suit full renovations - kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and joinery in one program.
Most skirting jobs are measured in days, not weeks. We give you a dated start, work room by room where you are living in the house, and clean up as we go.
Skirting installation options
Single rooms and small jobs
Not every job is a whole house. Replacing the skirting in one bedroom, fixing a section damaged by a washing machine leak, or trimming out a new wall after a renovation are all normal work for us. Small jobs get the same set out and finish as large ones, and we price them honestly rather than padding for a short visit.
Skirting in units and apartments
Apartment work in Benowa means building access, lift bookings, work hours and noise restrictions. We handle the body corporate paperwork and schedule cutting so the mess and the noise stay contained. Concrete walls also change the fixing method, which we allow for at quote stage rather than discovering on the day.
New skirting board installation in Benowa
For new builds, extensions and full renovations we set out the whole house at once so heights, profiles and returns are consistent from room to room. Boards are cut with mitred externals and scribed internals rather than mitres on both, because scribed joints stay tight when the timber moves. Fixings are punched, filled and sanded so nothing telegraphs through the paint.
Replacing old or damaged skirting
Old boards come off carefully so the plasterboard behind survives. Where the wall is chewed up from previous removal, water damage or a floor sander, we patch and make good before the new skirting goes on. Replacement is also the point to reconsider the profile, since a taller board often suits the room better than what was originally there.
Skirting after new flooring
Hybrid, laminate, timber and tile changeovers all shift the finished floor level, and old skirting rarely sits down cleanly afterwards. We refit or replace skirting after the floor is laid, keeping the required expansion gap covered without pinning the flooring in place. Where the floor dips, boards are scribed to follow it rather than left with a visible shadow line.
Architraves and door surrounds
Architraves and skirting are one job, and the intersection at the plinth is where a poor fit shows. We match profiles and heights, keep a consistent margin around the frame, and mitre the head joints tight. Where door frames are out of plumb, packing and adjustment happen before the trim goes on rather than being hidden with filler.
Why choose Orange Projects
Holes filled, joins sanded, top edge caulked. The room is handed over paint ready rather than needing a second round of preparation.
We also handle flooring, doors, cornice, wall repairs and painting coordination, so skirting can be part of a wider fit out instead of a standalone visit.
Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed building company (Licence No. 15620733) carrying full public liability and works insurance.
Skirting is finishing carpentry. The work is done by qualified carpenters who scribe, pack and adjust rather than force a board into place and fill the gap.
