About us

Norwest Reno and Build is a small residential carpentry business in sydney's western suburbs. We renovate and extend terraces and older homes, mostly designed by architects. Every job is different. One week you might be propping up a 120 year old double brick wall, and the next you might be hanging a steel beam to open up a back extension. We take pride in doing things properly, and we're after someone who feels the same way.
