What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Detailed timber projects that other trades turn away recur throughout feedback on Hardwood Projects, with customers describing staircases, recycled hardwood screens, handrails, wall panelling and a combined television and fireplace unit completed to a high standard. Fitty, also known as Luke, is named repeatedly alongside Liam and the wider crew for craftsmanship and care, and reviewers frequently note that ideas were heard and worked into practical building methods. Fair quotes and a willingness to find ways of containing costs are mentioned often, as are communication before, during and after each job and the responsiveness of the team.

An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the neatness of the finished work, with junctions and joins fitting precisely; those who assembled a flat-pack pergola found the instructions clear and the build straightforward. Attention to detail and evident pride in the outcome are recurring themes, applied equally to modest jobs and larger ones. Custom joinery appears most often in accounts, from loft staircases in American oak to floating shelves and timber nooks, alongside deck construction and recycled timber features that finish renovated interiors.

We recently had Hardwood install recycled cladding and custom build a shelving unit for our bedroom. Luke and Liam were incredible throughout the process, taking a simple sketch we gave them and bringing it to life. Communication throughout the process was excellent and the install days were a breeze (for us anyway, we weren't doing the hard work!). We are absolutely thrilled with the results that have transformed our space and we are blown away by the craftsmanship. We highly recommend the team and will be keeping them in mind for future projects.

We recently had our family dining table restored by Hardwood Projects and honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. The table has been in our family for over 40 years and was well overdue for some care and attention, so we wanted to find someone who would do it justice. The team at Hardwood Projects did an amazing job. They’ve brought it back to life while still keeping all the character and history that makes it so special to us. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the attention to detail really shows. From start to finish, the process was easy, communication was great, and it was obvious they genuinely care about the quality of their work. It’s wonderful to see a piece that’s been part of our family for so long looking this good again. We couldn’t recommend Hardwood Projects highly enough and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future.

Luke and his Team built a timber sauna and deck for us and did such a great job we asked them to replace our large rotting timber deck. They undertook a lot of extra work to construct the frame to minimise rotting that should mean the deck will last years longer than the original. They started and finished the job on time, as quoted and they did a fantastic job!

Ordered a pergola from these guys as a flat pack and couldn’t be happier. The design and craftsmanship made the install unbelievably easy — true craftsmen who clearly know what they’re doing. From start to finish it took us about two hours to build the entire structure, instructions were super clear, made me look like a pro. Every junction fit perfectly and looked super neat, and the end result is a far superior product without the usual headache of building something like this yourself. Couldn’t recommend these guys highly enough.

Couldn’t be more stoked with the amazing job Fitty and the Hardwood Projects team did on our loft staircase. We were struggling to find someone to take this on, with seemingly everyone putting it in the “too hard” basket. But Fitty and team were happy not just to take the project on, but to smash it out of the park. Out with the old rickety ladder, and in with the all American oak staircase, enabling safe, easy, and aesthetic access to our previously hard-to-access loft. We had great communication throughout the project, and everything was finished to a high standard. Had complete trust in this highly professional team who did a stellar job from start to finish. For any small or challenging ‘outside-the-box’ projects in Canberra - Fitty and team are your guys.

Hardwood Projects designed and installed a custom timber nook for us. I highly recommend the team, their communication and workmanship is excellent.

So impressed by the work of Fitty and the Hardwood Projects team! They did an absolutely quality job on our stairs. Fitty and the team were responsive, easy to deal with and did amazing work. Highly recommend the Hardwood Projects team!
