    Eric and Chris did an outstanding job re-levelling the floors in my house. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, detail-oriented, and true perfectionists. They went above and beyond to make sure every door in the house — including the shower — was opening and closing smoothly before they wrapped up, which really speaks to the care they take in their work. The final report was thorough, and throughout the whole process they were a pleasure to deal with: punctual, respectful, and just genuinely nice people. It’s rare to find trades who combine such high technical skill with this level of care and professionalism. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Eric and Chris to anyone — exceptional work and exceptional people.

    I can not reccomend highly enough how phenomenal Eric and his crew were. We had used Eric for some major repairs on our subfloor including the addition of new stumps and vents for air circulation. Eric is truly a hard worker where he keeps his clients upto date. His pricing was fair and honest and the workmanship was to the highest level. If your in need of any sub floor repairs or maintenance, please contact Eric and don't waste your time with anyone else.

    Eric and his team did an amazing job. From the outset everything was clearly explained, and then professionally and efficiently carried out. My floors which were bouncy before due to old wooden stumps are now solid and level with new concrete and steel stumps. The guys were friendly and polite and a pleasure to have working in the house. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Empire Foundations. 5 stars.

    I am writing to express my sincere gratitude and immense appreciation for the recent restumping work on my home. The project was completed successfully, and I was particularly impressed by the **professionalism, commitment, and skill** demonstrated by everyone involved. From the initial assessment to the final cleanup, your team was punctual, communicative, and meticulous in their work. It’s clear you take great pride in what you do, and the result is a solid, secure foundation for my home. Thank you for your hard work and for providing such a valuable service.

    I'm no expert in the trade, but I found Eric and his team professional, always respectful and thorough. The house feels solid once more. No more squeaks. Happy.

    Eric and his team did an amazing job with relevelling and restumping a property that had significant movement. Eric came out on a Sunday to provide me with a quote. From the moment I met him, I loved his honesty, professionalism and his ability to provide a cost effective solution for the job. They have been completely transparent throughout the entire process from beginning to the end of the job which made working them very pleasant. Prior to choosing Empire foundations, I received a couple of other quotes which was not only more costly but they also couldn't guarantee they could level the house. Empire foundations was able to complete the job quickly, efficiently and to a high standard even though it was a difficult job to begin with. I would highly recommend Empire Foundations and would love to work with them again in the future.

Frequently asked questions

How much do carpenters typically charge?
Carpentry costs vary widely depending on the job. Simple trim or door hanging is usually less than internal framing, small outdoor structures or timber repairs that require more labour and materials. Most carpenters charge a call-out fee plus an hourly labour rate, with after-hours work attracting higher rates; this page shows live local pricing to help you compare quotes.
Do carpenters charge call-out fees?
Call-out fees are common and typically cover travel and the initial assessment. These fees are usually charged separately from hourly labour and materials. After-hours attendance is often charged at a higher rate, so confirm any call-out or minimum fees when requesting quotes.
Do carpenters need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Carpentry work is generally required to be carried out by a licensed tradesperson in every Australian state and territory. In NSW, licences are administered by Building Commission NSW (formerly NSW Fair Trading). You should expect providers to display a valid state building or trade licence on quotes and advertising, and to hold an ABN, public liability insurance and industry memberships such as HIA or Master Builders.
