Find a restumper in Queensland
Queensland's timber housing stock — Queenslanders, highsets, post-war cottages — makes restumping routine here, and 'raise and restump' a local specialty no other state matches.
Restumping in Queensland
Queensland jobs split into two kinds: straightforward restumping, and raise-and-restump, where the house gains height (and often a storey underneath) while the stumps are replaced. Raising involves engineering and council approval that plain restumping may not — and every contractor needs the relevant QBCC licence either way. Queensland's rules cover both paths.
