Hunter Valley Joinery

Hunter Valley Joinery is a cabinet maker based in East Maitland, with over 33 years of experience and having serviced the Hunter and NSW since 1991. Formerly known as Cottage Craft Furniture, the company specialises in heritage and bespoke joinery. Licensed builders are available as required.

It is an area distributor for Superior Brass and Tradco Brass, and for hardware including Austyle, Iver, Vinco and Titus Tekform. Services include heritage consultancy, design, restoration and repairs, shop front and fittings, furniture, custom joinery, supply of traditional moulding, and supply of exotic and specialised timbers.

Maitland's Hunter Valley Joinery draws customers in search of made-to-order timber work, and the accounts left for the business centre on the finish achieved once a commission is complete. The team is led by Paul, who is named by several reviewers as their main point of contact and who, along with his colleagues, is described as a pleasure to deal with from first discussion to delivery. The workshop handles both restoration and new manufacture, with repairs to ageing cedar doors mentioned alongside the construction of custom windows.

Quality of made-to-order cabinetry features often, particularly spotted gum pieces built for bathrooms and praised for their appearance, and one returning customer noted that these became a defining feature once a renovation was finished. Being able to visit and see where an order is being produced was valued, and the business appears equally at ease with smaller repair tasks and larger commissions. Communication with Paul and his colleagues is recalled warmly, and across the feedback the impression is of a joiner who follows a job through from timber selection and making to installation, leaving customers pleased with the process and the lasting result in their homes.
