Top Shelf Building & Carpentry

Summer is coming, so make sure you're ready!

Did you know that the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world?

Standing over 828m high, with more than 160 stores, it holds the following records:
* Tallest building in the world
* Tallest free-standing structure in the world
* Highest number of stories in the world
* Highest occupied floor in the world
* Highest outdoor observation deck in the world
* Elevator with the longest travel distance in the world
* Tallest service elevator in the world

It took six years to build and was completed in 2010. It cost $1.5 billion to build.

Undertaking any home renovations, extensions or building works can be nerve racking; that is why it is so important to choose a builder you are comfortable with... this is the basis for building a strong relationship with them to ensure the build goes as smooth as possible.

🕵️‍♀️ your builder needs to understand your vision. Establishing a good relationship opens the channel for communication. This allows you to confidently tell your builder what you want and need.

🤝 trust is key in building a strong and successful relationship. Trusting your builder ensures you have confidence they have your best interests as heart.
💡 working together with your builder is when great ideas happen! Creating a collaborative environment means bouncing ideas off each other to get the best results!

🗣 having open and transparent communication from both parties. Regularly update each other to receive updates on the project and discuss any concerns.

❓unforeseen obstacles, challenges can definitely be part of any build, renovation or extension. A good relationship with your builder will make overcoming these challenges more efficient and smoother.

At Top Shelf, we work "with you" not for you.

Regulations regarding house renovations requiring permits, can vary depending on the state and even the individual council. Generally, minor renovations that don't involve structural changes or significant alterations to the building, typically don't require permits. These can include:

🎨 Cosmetic changes - repainting walls, replacing fixtures, updating cabinetry or another aesthetic can make a word of difference to your home and can be completed without the delay of waiting for a permit.

🚪Non structural repairs - replace or repair doors, windows and roofs are safe to change as long as no change to the structure of the building.

🌳 Landscaping - unlock the potential of your outdoor space by adding some creativity and space to enjoy the great outdoors. Plant trees, shrubs or flowers to improve the feel of your outdoor space.

Completing a job that makes an area functional and safe for our clients is what our job is all about.

The purpose of this job was to re-build the deck and handrails to ensure the older client could still use the area and be safe. Scroll through for the "before" photos and you'll see the difference!

The team re-built the deck, removed the stairs & added a ramp and replaced the handrails.

Look at that blue sky to compliment the finished build!

A lot of our clients choose Merbau for the decking, however this client chose Silver Top Ash timber and how awesome does it look!

A gorgeous decking added along the rear of the house to provide a space to relax, all year round.

What do we think Craig would say if Liv asked to turn their merbau decking and alfresco area to silver top ash??? 🤔😂

PAKENHAM

No job is to big or small for the team. A trip down to Pakenham saw them replace the eaves on this home.

Whilst eaves might not seem that big of a deal, that actually play a vital role in the structure of your home. Eaves keep rain water off the walls and prevent water from entering at the junction where the roof meets the wall.

Friday Funny... how cool would it be if they were?

KILSYTH

Who doesn't love a good "before and after"?

Look at the difference this deck clean and stain makes to this outdoor space.

Taking correct care of your deck is vital for its longevity.

Make sure to contact us to get your deck ready for spring and summer!

Love a Testimonial.

Taking care of your deck is important for its longevity, identifying any repairs whilst they are small (no one wants a big repair) and keeping it safe.

🪴 Don’t place plants on the deck without a saucer underneath! The saucer will collect excess water to avoid it from spilling on the deck. Too much moisture on the deck can cause staining and rotting of the deck boards.

🔥 Keep your fire pit OFF your decking. The warmth, flying sparks and even ashes can cause damage to your decking.

🧹 Don't let debris, leaves and dirt build up on your desk. If you see it, sweep it!

CARRUM DOWNS

Look at this outdoor space! That wall of green is just amazing! Certainly gives this space a special feel. What a perfect place to sit, relax, entertain all year round!

The team replaced the verandah and fence to keep this space useable all year round.

Let us help you get ready for Summer NOW.

The team spent some time replacing some old handrails with these new ones.. which not only makes this space safe, but is a great little area for this family to spend their sunny (but fresh!) Melbourne mornings.
