We're a family owned building company with 20 years' experience
With our extensive experience in the Lake Macquarie and Newcastle regions, we have the knowledge of local requirements, design inclusions, material selections and block orientation to bring comfort, energy efficiency and longevity to your project.
With over 20 years of experience, Principal Builder and Director Tom started the business in 2015 underpinned by five non-negotiable core values: be client-focused, prioritise communication, be scheduled and timely, be honest and trustworthy, and deliver quality workmanship every time.
Tom has worked on two separate houses for my family and I. Both times he was punctual, explained things in a way we could understand & was on budget.
Tom took the hassle out of the projects by managing all the other trades and keeping constant communication.
Tom completed an extensive renovation on our property in Mayfield and was fantastic to deal with throughout the whole process. Tom was able to solve problems on the run, was on time and on budget (no unexpected cost variations that are common with builders). The craftsmanship was outstanding and the finished product reflected that.
We had Tom complete work on our California Bungalow in Merewether. Tom and the team were unflustered when uncovering the inevitable issues found in old houses and worked to quickly rectify them with minimal fuss. The workmanship was 10 out of 10, with Tom ensuring all work completed was true to the original character of the house.
Tom and the team did an amazing job. The whole process from quote to completion was seamless. The job was completed both on time and on budget. Tom’s recommendations were bang on and we could not be any happier with the finished product. I have no problems in highly recommending Jenkins Residential, in fact I already have put some friends in contact with the team.
Tom and his team have completed numerous projects for us & have done a great job. We are very happy with the outcomes, the teams of tradesmen he brings together to work with on the projects & his manner in dealing with any issues. All outcomes have been very positive.
As a perfectionist myself, his work was excellent and finished to a high standard. His price is competitive with other builders. I would recommend Tom to my family and friends for building and carpentry work.
He was punctual each day and communicated throughout the job to achieve a quality long lasting result that we were instantly happy with. I have recommend Jenkins Residential to friends and family.
