On this school project, we had already completed the painting when new windows were installed afterwards.

Unfortunately, that meant some of our finished work was damaged in the process, and now we have to come back and repair and repaint the affected areas — at our own cost.

It’s frustrating, but part of running a construction business is accepting that things don’t always go according to plan.

We could complain about it… or we can simply do the right thing, fix it properly, and leave the client with a finished job we’re proud of. 💪

This one was a very special transformation. ❤️🔨

From the original bathroom, through the demolition and renovation, to the finished result — this was a complete bathroom transformation from start to finish.

Every detail was carefully considered to create a beautiful, modern space that feels completely different from where we started.

Here’s the before, during and after of this special bathroom renovation. 🚿✨

What do you think of the finished result?

Today is cleanup day. After all the preparation, waterproofing and quartz flooring, we’re getting everything cleaned up and ready for the final reveal.

Tomorrow, you get to see the finished shower transformation. 👀🔥

Will the final result live up to the work that went into it?

This reel shows the before, during and after of the project — from discovering the extent of the borer beetle damage, removing the damaged timber, replacing the entire substructure, and rebuilding the floor.

What looked like a relatively straightforward repair turned out to be a much bigger job once we opened everything up.

Here’s the full transformation from damaged and compromised to completely rebuilt. 💪

The borer beetle damage was far worse than we originally expected. 🪵

After removing the floorboards, we discovered that the entire substructure had been compromised. There was no point in simply repairing sections — we had to replace the entire substructure.

The new structure is now in place, and we're nearly finished installing the OSB board, bringing us one step closer to rebuilding the floor properly.

What started as a borer beetle problem has turned into a complete floor reconstruction.

Follow along to see the finished result. 👀

What started as a borer beetle problem has turned into a much bigger job than we expected. 🪵

Once we removed the floorboards and started exposing the structure, we discovered that the damage went far beyond the boards. The beams and the entire subframe were in far worse condition than initially thought.

At this point, repairing sections simply isn't enough — the entire subframe needs to be replaced.

This is exactly why hidden timber damage needs to be properly investigated. What looks like a small problem on the surface can reveal a much bigger structural issue underneath.

Follow along as we strip it back and rebuild it properly.

In this shower, the previous contractor had broken a tile and instead of replacing it properly, covered the damaged area with a piece of metal sheet, sealed with silicone.

It looked like the original tile — so the homeowner had no idea. But over time, the metal started to rust, creating an even bigger problem.

This is why proper repairs matter. A quick cover-up might look fine today, but it can cause serious issues later.

This shower had water getting through where it shouldn’t, so we stripped it back and started from the beginning — addressing the waterproofing and preparing the surface properly before applying the new quartz flooring system.

This reel takes you back to the start of the project, showing why proper preparation and waterproofing matter before the finished look.

Follow along as we transform this shower from the inside out.

Harvey tile roofs look like traditional tiles — but they’re actually pressed, formed metal roofing sheets. 🏠

And when they start failing, the problems can be serious: rust, corrosion, leaks, damaged coatings and years of weather exposure can all take their toll.

In this reel, we take a look at the condition of this Harvey tile roof and what can happen when a roof is left without the right maintenance.

If your Harvey tile roof is looking tired, don’t wait for the leaks to start. Get it inspected.

Quartz flooring provides a hard-wearing, textured and stylish finish that works beautifully in wet areas — giving your shower a modern look without the traditional tiled finish.

Watch the transformation from preparation to finished floor.
