Finishing carpentry in Merrimac
Plenty of Merrimac 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.
Merrimac is a central, well-priced suburb close to Robina and Broadbeach that has become popular with renovating owner-occupiers.
1980s and 1990s low-set brick homes, canal-adjacent properties near the Nerang River and a growing number of townhouses.
Many Merrimac homes still carry original kitchens, wet areas and flooring, so full-interior refreshes are common. Low-lying pockets near the river need moisture-tolerant flooring specifications.
We quote after seeing the job. Wall condition, floor level, profile choice, how much old skirting has to come off and whether the walls need patching behind all change the price, so we sort that out before you commit.
Skirting work we carry out
Square-set, colonial and modern profiles
Profile choice sets the character of the room. Square-set and half-splayed boards read modern and clean, colonial and lambs tongue profiles suit traditional interiors, and a taller board generally makes a room feel higher. We bring samples to the site visit so you can see the options against your floor and wall colour rather than guessing from a catalogue.
Filling, caulking and paint preparation
The finish is in the preparation. Nail holes are punched and filled, joins are sanded flush, and the top edge is caulked to the wall so there is no dark line once the room is painted. If you are painting yourself we leave it ready to go, and if we are managing the paintwork it is scheduled straight after.
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 Merrimac 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 Merrimac
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.
Why choose Orange Projects
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.
