Correction of Poor Workmanship in the East Rand

We fix what others spoil

East Rand Carpentry was started because too many people in Gauteng were let down by carpenters who did poor work or walked off the job. Across Benoni, Boksburg, Brakpan, Germiston, Kempton Park and Springs, we correct badly fitted cupboards, unfinished kitchens and carpentry that failed too soon.

Are you struggling with...

  • Cupboard doors that hang crooked or will not close properly?
  • A kitchen or wardrobe the contractor never finished?
  • Units that sag, wobble or have pulled away from the wall?
  • Gaps, rough edges and visible screws where it should be neat?
  • Boards that swelled or broke within months?
  • Paying twice for a job that should have been done right the first time?

We have seen what happens when a job is rushed, measured wrong or built from the wrong boards. It is not your fault, and you should not have to live with it. We look at the work, tell you plainly what went wrong and fix it properly, so this time it stays fixed.

Correction work

An honest look, then a proper fix

After a bad experience, it is hard to trust another carpenter. So we start by showing you exactly what is wrong and why. No jargon and no upselling, just a clear explanation and a plan.

Sometimes a few adjustments are enough: realigning doors, replacing worn hinges or reinforcing a loose unit. Sometimes parts need to be re-cut, refitted or rebuilt. We tell you which it is before any work starts.

We also take over carpentry jobs that were left unfinished. If a contractor walked off halfway through your kitchen or cupboards, we can complete it to the standard it should have had from the start.

Correction of Poor Workmanship: frequently asked questions

Can you fix carpentry that another contractor did badly?

Yes. This is what our business was built on. We correct crooked doors, sagging units, bad measurements and poor finishing on cupboards, kitchens, wardrobes and more.

My contractor left the job unfinished. Can you complete it?

Yes. We look at what has been done, check that it is sound, fix anything that is wrong and finish the job. We will tell you honestly if any of the existing work needs to be redone.

Will I have to replace everything?

Not always. Often doors can be realigned, hinges replaced and units reinforced. Where parts have failed or were built wrong, we replace only those parts. We explain the options before we start.

How much does it cost to fix poor workmanship?

It depends on what went wrong and how much needs to be redone. We assess the work and give you a free, detailed quote, so you know the full cost up front.

Do you repair kitchen cupboards?

Yes. We repair sagging, damaged and badly fitted kitchen cupboards, replace swollen boards and doors, and realign drawers across Benoni, Boksburg and the rest of the East Rand.
