    Joe O'Gorman is a craftsman. He repaired what we thought were insurmountable problems. He repaired major structural cracks that we had due to restumpeing and underpinning and it is seamless .Perfection. He also replaced old cornices for larger more detailed Victorian styles which lifted our main room to another level. Joe is a great communicator He turns up on time ,works with minimal mess and he completed the job on time. We were extremely fortunate that Joe could schedule us in.

    I had acquired a 1914 home in Bacchus Marsh. Ground movement and restumping lead to small cracks opening into large cracks in both the exterior and interior.The expertise needed to repair lath plaster was nowhere to be found in my vicinity. Joe was a lifesaver. He agreed to check out, what I was lead to believe, were insurmountable problems. Joe wasn’t the least fazed as he explained the process. I still can’t believe my luck when he agreed to make the 2hour 30 min round trip to Bacchus Marsh each day. Joe O’Gorman is a real gem. A skilled, efficient artisan who takes pride in his work. He is a great communicator, honest and personable. I’m very grateful to Joe for his willingness to help me. My sad, cracked old house is now a lovely home. Jan Morahan Bacchus Marsh August 2024

    Joe's work on the family home in a heritage overlay area in Camberwell is simply stunning. The house had suffered from a lack of maintenance over many years, and had some serious cracking issues following underpinning, with slabs of plaster falling off the wall in a couple of areas. Joe quoted us on installation of helical bars to stabilise the walls and restore the finishes over the course of a month. The end result is nothing short of stunning. The walls are returned to their original textures and finishes and you'd never know the amount of work that went into it unless you'd seen it before. Joe's attention to detail and quality workmanship is second to none and his price was very very reasonable. And he's a lovely bloke. I can't recommend him highly enough - Joe's awesome.

    Joe is a superb craftsman. He did an amazing amount of stunning work for us on our old bluestone some 6 years back and we needed him again. It was wonderful for Joe to check out how his handiwork stood up (brilliantly) and it was so comfortable to have him back doing some bespoke work around the bluestone buildings windows. A real gentleman. Cannot recommend him too highly.

    Let’s begin with Joe as the master craftsman that he is. Joe’s knowledge of his trade is exceptional, as was evident in and during our initial and continuous consultations during the works and his high standards, work ethic and outstanding ability as is evident at the completion of the works. The way he caringly and enthusiastically takes you on the transformation journey of and in your own home is unique and all absorbing and can only be truly experienced and valued once he is undertaken. Let’s end with Joe as the remarkable person that he is. From the onset, Joe was able to listen, understand and advise us without any pretense or pressure. Joe is honest and open and his gentle and pleasant nature puts you at ease knowing that he truly has a genuine interest in making your works a positive experience. His courteous ways make it a pleasure to interact. A true gentleman. Our home has never looked better and now has a vibrant and energised vibe thanks to his masterful workmanship. Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions

How much do renderers typically charge?
Renderers' costs vary significantly depending on the type of job and how much preparation or repair is needed. Quotes commonly include a call-out fee, hourly labour and materials, with after-hours work often attracting higher rates. This page shows live pricing so you can compare current quotes for your specific job.
Do renderers charge call-out fees?
Yes, call-out fees are commonly charged to attend and assess the job, and are usually separate from hourly labour and materials. After-hours or emergency attendance typically increases the overall rate. It's worth confirming any call-out or minimum fees when requesting quotes.
When do renderers need a licence?
In many states, registration or a specialist wet-plastering/building licence is required for rendering and related building work, particularly where structural or regulated building tasks are involved. Check with your local building authority (for example, NSW Fair Trading, the Victorian Building Authority or the QBCC) to confirm requirements.
