Why L&K is Brisbane's Choice for Character Homes

Restoring a Queenslander is not just a building job — it requires specialised wood joinery, knowledge of local council overlays, and careful structural staging.

🪟 Custom Timber Replication

We replicate historical moldings, match old VJ panel profiles, and rebuild decorative timber columns, archways, and window fretwork to match the original home's style.

🏗️ House Lifts & Building Under

Double your space. We coordinate lifts, install heavy structural steel columns, lay concrete foundations, and build modern bedrooms, living spaces, and garages downstairs.

🪵 Traditional Verandahs

Restore or extend character verandahs. We install premium pine or hardwood floorboards, build custom handrails, and match heritage rooflines perfectly.

What Bayside Homeowners Say About Our Craft

Liam's attention to detail is something of an old world charm that you just don't get from many builders today. He restored our timber fretwork and front verandah perfectly. The quality is exceptional and we love the result.

We were highly impressed by L&K's communication. Liam was on site supervising the steel lifting and doing the framing himself. The certifier commented on the exceptional build quality. No surprises, no budget variations. Five stars.

Liam and Kate helped us plan our Queenslander lift and extension. They gave us straight advice on budget constraints and heritage zoning codes. Direct builder access made the process enjoyable and stress-free.
