Questions, answered.

MJN Carpentry is based in Paddington and works right across Brisbane's inner north and northern suburbs — from Bardon, The Gap and Ferny Grove through to Albany Creek, Strathpine and Petrie.

We're generally on the tools Monday to Friday, with Saturdays available by appointment. The quickest way to reach us is by phone on 0407 624 919, or send a message through our contact form and we'll reply within one business day.

Yes. MJN Carpentry is QBCC licensed (Licence 1314902) and a member of Master Builders Queensland, and our team is fully insured. That means your project is handled by qualified professionals and built to the right standards.

Every job is quoted individually. We start with a free consultation and an on-site measure, then provide a detailed estimate that itemises materials and labour. You see the full cost before any work begins — our process is built around no vague figures and no surprises.

The easiest first step is a free initial consultation. Call us, book online or send your details through the contact form, and we'll arrange a time to talk through your project, look at the space and explain how we'd approach it.

We do. MJN Carpentry is dedicated to a high standard of quality on every project, and we stand behind our workmanship. Our goal is carpentry that exceeds your expectations and stands the test of time.

Yes. We take on everything from home maintenance and repairs through to full renovations and extensions. Whatever the size, you get the same quality of craftsmanship and the same straightforward service.

Renovations are quoted individually because no two homes are the same. We start with a design conversation and an on-site visit, then provide a detailed construction estimate that covers materials and labour. You get a clear figure before work starts, and we flag anything that could affect it rather than springing surprises later.

Yes. We manage our projects from preconstruction design through to the finishing touches, coordinating the work so it runs in the right order. That gives you one point of contact and a smoother experience than juggling trades yourself.

Of course. Plenty of our renovation work is focused — a kitchen, a bathroom, or one area of the home. We're happy to scope the project to your budget and priorities, and tell you honestly what will make the biggest difference.

It depends entirely on the scope. A single-room remodel is far quicker than a full-home renovation involving multiple trades. We give you a realistic schedule with your estimate and keep you updated as the project moves through each stage.

Yes. A detailed, upfront estimate is part of how we work — you see materials and labour itemised before construction starts. Our process is designed around no vague figures and no surprises once the job is underway.

We work across Brisbane's inner north and northern suburbs from our Paddington base, including Bardon, The Gap, Keperra, Stafford, Albany Creek and surrounds. Contact us to confirm your suburb.

Yes. MJN Carpentry is QBCC licensed, a Master Builders Queensland member and fully insured — important reassurance for any renovation project.

We quote each outdoor build individually. After a free on-site visit to check the space, levels and access, we give you an itemised estimate covering materials and labour. Decks and carports vary a lot with size, height and timber choice, so an upfront measure is the only way to give you an accurate figure.

We use hardwood and treated timbers selected to stand up to the Queensland climate, and we'll talk you through the options that suit your budget and how the space will be used. Choosing the right material upfront is what keeps a deck looking good and lasting longer.

Yes. Not every deck needs replacing — sometimes it's a matter of replacing boards, re-fixing the structure or refreshing the finish. We'll assess the condition honestly and tell you whether a repair or a rebuild is the better value.

Some outdoor structures need building approval depending on their size, height and location. We'll let you know what's likely to apply to your project during the quote stage so there are no surprises, and we'll build to the standards required.

It depends on the size and complexity, plus factors like ground conditions and weather. We'll give you a realistic timeframe with your quote so you can plan around it, and we keep you informed if anything changes once we're on site.

We cover Brisbane's inner north and northern suburbs from Paddington — including Bardon, The Gap, Ferny Grove, Everton Park, Albany Creek and Petrie. Just outside the area? Ask us and we'll let you know.

Yes. MJN Carpentry is QBCC licensed, a Master Builders Queensland member and fully insured, so your deck or carport is built properly and to standard.

Every kitchen is different, so we quote each one individually. We start with a free on-site measure and a conversation about what you want, then give you a detailed estimate that itemises materials and labour. You see the full picture before any work begins, with no vague figures and no hidden extras once the job is underway.

Absolutely. Plenty of kitchens just need new cabinetry doors, better storage, a fresh benchtop or some smarter shelving rather than a complete rebuild. We're happy to work through what will give you the biggest improvement for your budget, and we'll tell you honestly when an upgrade makes more sense than a full strip-out.

We focus on custom cabinetry built to suit your space, which means we can work around awkward walls, appliances and ceiling heights that off-the-shelf units never quite fit. If you already have flat-pack joinery you'd like installed, we can handle that too — just let us know when you enquire.

Timing depends on the size of the kitchen and whether it's an upgrade or a full renovation. A straightforward cabinetry and benchtop job moves quickly, while a full strip-out and install takes longer because of the trades involved. We'll give you a realistic schedule with your quote so you can plan around it.

Yes. Benchtop supply and installation is part of our kitchen service, and we'll make sure it's templated and fitted to line up cleanly with your cabinetry. We can talk you through the material options that suit your kitchen and how you use it.

Yes. We're based in Paddington and work right across Brisbane's inner north and northern suburbs — from Bardon and The Gap through to Albany Creek and Petrie. If you're just outside our usual area, get in touch and we'll let you know.

We are. MJN Carpentry is QBCC licensed and a member of Master Builders Queensland, and our team is fully insured. That gives you peace of mind that the work is done properly and to standard.

We quote each bathroom individually after a free on-site measure. The estimate itemises materials and labour so you can see exactly what you're paying for. Whether it's a single custom vanity or full bathroom joinery, you get a clear figure upfront before we start.

Yes — that's the main reason to choose custom over off-the-shelf. We build vanities and cabinetry to suit the exact dimensions of your bathroom, working around plumbing, windows and tight corners so the finish looks intentional rather than squeezed in.

It will. We select moisture-resistant materials and durable finishes specifically because bathrooms are a demanding environment. Doing this properly is what keeps cabinetry looking good and functioning well for years rather than swelling or peeling.

We do the carpentry and joinery side — vanities, cabinetry, shelving and storage — and we're comfortable coordinating our work around the other trades involved in a renovation. Tell us the scope when you enquire and we'll explain how we'd approach it.

Definitely. Small bathrooms are where good carpentry makes the biggest difference. Recessed shelving, slim cabinetry and well-planned vanities can free up a surprising amount of usable space without making the room feel crowded.

Yes. MJN Carpentry is QBCC licensed, a Master Builders Queensland member, and fully insured — so you can be confident the work meets the right standards.

We quote each job individually after seeing the space. Wardrobes, staircases and built-in storage all vary depending on size, materials and complexity, so we give you an itemised estimate covering materials and labour after a free measure — never a guess over the phone.

Yes. We build both built-in and walk-in wardrobes designed around your room's dimensions and how you actually use storage. Custom joinery means sliding doors, shelving and hanging space all fit properly rather than leaving awkward gaps.

We do. Window and door installation is part of our interior carpentry service, including hanging doors so they sit and close correctly. If you're replacing tired fittings or adding new ones during a renovation, we can take care of it.

Yes — staircases and balustrades are part of what we do. Whether it's a new staircase as part of a renovation or repairs to an existing one, we'll assess it and explain the right approach for your home.

We can. Garage built-ins, custom shelving and concealed storage are popular projects because they make a real difference to how a home functions. We'll design something that suits the space and the way you live.

Yes. MJN Carpentry is QBCC licensed, a member of Master Builders Queensland and fully insured, so your project is in safe, qualified hands.

Each addition is quoted individually after a design conversation and an on-site visit. We look at how the new space connects to your existing home, then provide a detailed estimate covering materials and labour so you know the cost before work begins.

Extensions and enclosed additions usually involve building approval, and the requirements depend on the size and how the space is used. We'll explain what's likely to apply to your project during the quote stage and build to the standards required.

Yes. A good addition should look like it was always part of the house. We design and build to suit your home's existing style and structure so the new space feels integrated rather than tacked on.

A sunroom is typically a light-filled enclosed room that brings the outdoors in, while an extension adds fully integrated living space. We can talk through which suits your goals, your block and your budget when you get in touch.

Timeframes vary with the size and complexity of the build, plus approvals and weather. We'll give you a realistic schedule with your estimate and keep you informed as the project progresses through each stage.
