Why SteepWood for shopfitting in Hunter Valley

We manage the full process: initial concept design, documentation for landlord and council approval, manufacture of custom joinery, co-ordination of trades, and on-site installation.

Hunter Valley housing and design context
Hunter Valley projects often have a particular character: a stronger emphasis on natural timber finishes, country-style kitchens with shaker doors and Caesarstone or Smartstone tops, butler's pantries that handle the realities of entertaining, and joinery that ages with the home.
Hunter Valley projects commonly reflect Country homestead, post-war fibro, rural contemporary, French Provincial (Lovedale, Pokolbin), Hamptons coastal (Port Stephens), federation farmhouse, modern rural new-build, cellar-door commercial..
