About True Carpentry

Qualified. Fully insured. 60+ decks built across Auckland.

True Carpentry is built on 14 years of hands-on carpentry — from decks, fences and retaining walls to full home renovations. That range is what makes the work genuinely well-rounded: the qualified tradesman on your job has seen the lot, and knows what lasts.

It started with decks — 30+ of them in the early years, as part of a small crew — and the craft grew from there, through years of renovation work across the city and right up to full trade qualification.

Today True Carpentry Ltd is a real, registered New Zealand limited company built on fixed pricing, tidy work and honest advice. Our signature service, The 24 Hour Deck — a quality timber deck built start to finish in a single Saturday, backed by a 5 & 10-year guarantee — sits alongside the wider carpentry and renovation work.

Fully insured, NZBN registered, and working Auckland-wide — and always happy to talk through your job honestly — even if the answer is “I'm not the right person for this.”
