🪚 Our Carpentry Specialties
🚪 Built-in Cupboards & Wardrobes
Custom-fitted wardrobes designed to make the most of your space. Sliding doors, hinged doors, walk-in configurations, drawers, shelving, and shoe racks — built to your exact measurements in your choice of finish. Perfect for bedrooms where standard cupboards just don’t fit.
🍳 Kitchen Cabinetry
From a full kitchen rebuild to replacing tired cabinet doors — we connect you with carpenters who understand kitchen ergonomics. Drawers, pull-outs, corner units, spice racks, and custom-sized cabinets to fit your appliances perfectly. Coordinated with plumbers and electricians if needed.
🌳 Decking & Outdoor Structures
Wooden decks built for Cape Town’s weather — using treated pine, teak, or composite. Whether it’s a small balcony, a full entertainment deck, or a pool surround, our carpenters build with proper drainage, ventilation, and structural support. Includes balustrades, steps, and railing.
📚 Shelving & Storage Systems
Fitted bookshelves, display units, under-stair storage, garage shelving, and custom wall units. Whether it’s a feature piece in your living room or practical storage in the garage — carpenters who measure twice and cut once.
🪟 Doors, Windows & Frames
New door installation, door hanging, frame replacement, window frames, and skirting boards. If you’re renovating, restoring an old house, or fixing a sticking door — our carpenters handle it with precision.

🪵 Wood Options We Work With
Different jobs call for different woods. Here’s a quick guide:
Pine
Affordable, versatile, and easy to work with. Great for cupboards, shelving, and painted finishes. Ideal for most interior carpentry.
Oak
Premium hardwood — strong, durable, beautiful grain. Perfect for feature furniture, dining tables, and high-end cabinetry.
Teak
Naturally weather-resistant — the gold standard for outdoor decking and structures exposed to Cape Town’s coastal climate.
Birch Ply
Modern, clean lines. Popular for contemporary shelving, kitchen units, and minimalist furniture. Paints and stains beautifully.
MDF / Melamine
Budget-friendly, smooth surface, and great for painted or wrapped finishes. Standard choice for built-in cupboards and kitchen cabinets.
Composite Decking
Wood-look, low-maintenance, and durable. No splinters, no rot, no repainting — ideal for modern outdoor spaces.
