City of Knox Questions

Building and Carpentry Across the City of Knox

Home Renovations in the City of Knox

Renovation work in Knox is mostly about bringing well-built houses up to date rather than fixing what is wrong with them. The typical job is a 1980s kitchen closed off from the family room, a bathroom with the original small tiles, and a floor plan that would work far better with one wall gone. The underlying construction is generally sound, so the work is about updating rather than repairing.

Home Extensions in the City of Knox

Extensions are where Knox blocks really pay off. Allotments through Rowville, Scoresby and Knoxfield are generally large enough to build out at the rear without losing a usable back yard, and building out costs meaningfully less per square metre than going up. Where the outlook is the draw, up around Lysterfield and Ferntree Gully, opening the rear of the house up to it does most of the work.

Decks & Outdoor Living in the City of Knox

Outdoor work in Knox divides on topography. Wantirna South, Scoresby and Knoxfield are largely flat, so decks sit low and pergolas and alfrescos are the common request. Ferntree Gully, Upper Ferntree Gully and Lysterfield fall away into the foothills, which is elevated deck territory with proper footings and external timber stairs down to the lower garden.

Carports & Sheds in the City of Knox

Many Knox blocks have room for this kind of structure without giving up the useful part of the yard. There is generally room for a shed without losing the yard, and room for a carport without crowding the driveway. On the flatter suburbs like Scoresby and Knoxfield the footings are straightforward and access is rarely a problem. Up through Ferntree Gully and Lysterfield the ground falls and the access narrows, which is exactly where a built structure beats a kit that has no answer for a slope.

Cladding in the City of Knox

Cladding work in Knox is split between recladding original weatherboard through the older Ferntree Gully streets, where the boards have genuinely reached the end, and new cladding on extensions elsewhere in the municipality. The foothill houses are also the ones most likely to have moisture problems behind the boards, given the tree cover and the shade.

Carpentry in the City of Knox

The carpentry we do across Knox ranges from framing an extension through to replacing every internal door in a Rowville house. The trims in this housing stock are typically short 1980s profiles, and swapping them for something taller changes how the rooms read without the disruption of a full renovation.
