20 May Gibbs Road, Frenchs Forest
The property is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom terrace with a rear yard which had been owned by the client for 30 years and was rented out as an investment property. The property had fallen into a state of disrepair with rising damp, a leaking roof, rotting stairs and balcony an overgrown rear garden with roots breaking through the uneven pavers. The client wanted to fix the issues with the property and create a desirable finish, ensuring that the property was hassle free and practical for future tenants.
The client was extremely happy with the final result and we are now restoring a third property for them.
The project included the following tasks:
- Removal of the old render from all lower internal walls and rising damp issues rectified with measures taken to prevent recurrence.
- Removal of rotten flooring and sub-frame with removal of excess soil below floor to create inspection access and ventilation and installation of new blackbutt hardwood flooring.
- Restoration of stairs, top front balcony and front roof repaired with correct original curve.
- Rectification of rear yard, including fixing the tree root damage, installation of new pavers and new rear door.
- New front beams, upper and lower.
- Rectification of front fence in accordance with original.
- New front door with security screens installed to front door and windows.
- New paint, inside and out.

12 Surfers Parade needed a complete renovation. This was a very old home, with classic 100 year old existing sandstone walls. The lower ground floor had deteriorated to the point of being uninhabitable. It was a treasure of a place, needing the respect and dedication of good restoration work to make it the home it was meant to be.
