Testimonials

Thank you for the work done. The team under Damien was great and very easy to work with. Congratulations on a job well done. Feel free to contact me if you need a reference at any time.

John Hood - Malvern

We recently had four rooms restumped in March 2017 by DJ Baker & Son. When we first engaged DJ Baker, Don came out to inspect and made the effort to properly ascertain what was required and how the job could be completed efficiently. He took the time to work out what acess was best and how his team could gain access.

A very competitive price of $4,600 (which included building permit application) and the job was completed in two days!

Malcolm and his team arrived as planned and were straight into it. Although a tight squeeze underneath the house they managed to replace about 20 stumps as planned.

Highly recommend using DJ Baker for any restumping work. They are efficient, reliable and honest. Well done guys-really appreciate your work.

"Please extend our thanks to you + your team. We are really happy with how smooth this job went + the results. Your team worked really hard, through less ideal conditions and we really appreciate it.

Will absolutely keep you in mind if we ever need to restump in the future."

Job was done in a couple of hours. Good price. Happy customer.

Sofya Barysheva

The house is awesome, I'm still getting used to a level floor where there used to be dips, it's quite disorientating! Such a thrill to close doors again after many years too 🙂

The guys were great and went to great lengths to make sure all doors weren't jammed and closed properly. I also have indoor cats and free range chooks and they were very careful to make sure the back door and gate was closed each time they came in and out, I'm very grateful.

Dympna Grey

Please pass on my thanks to the guys who did it and took the time to go through the house and explain what was going on. Singing under the house kept me well entertained. We will pass on your name to others in the future.

Wayne

The guys have just left and they have made a big difference. The big cracks in the wall plaster have closed up (a few v new small ones have appeared, as Lee warned me about) and importantly, all the doors now open and close. We can now do a bit of plastering and painting knowing that the walls are stable. We will also have to replace our shower screen door because it is now out of square. I think the guys repacked about 6 stumps.

Peter

I definitely won’t hesitate to refer your service to others. Lee was very polite, professional and approachable and his workers were polite and friendly too. Regards Claudia & Raj.

Claudia & Raj

Thanks Lee & Kerry, Damien and Jordan were great. Thanks for fitting the job in as soon as you could. I will definitely recommend you guys if I hear of any friends needing some restumping work!

We had our house re-stumped about 7 months ago by D. J. Baker & Son, in East Bentleigh, Victoria, and we were/are very happy with their work. Nothing was too much trouble for them and we must thank Malcolm for his true professionalism. If you want to have a stress-free service for your restumping, we’d highly recommend D J Baker & Son.

Julius Zuben
Homeowner

I just wanted to write and thank you for the work that you and your team did on our house. The results were better than we could have hoped for. The boys did a great job. They arrived when they said they would, they made sure we were across what was happening and the next steps. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Mick

"A big thank you to your company for a great job. Malcolm, Lachlan, Terry and Justin were hard-working, proficient and fun to have doing the job. Malcolm kept me informed about the procedures and timelines and all went smoothly.
Once again thanks for the good job."

John, Box Hill North

Very happy with the end result. The quote was good and the work was on time with minimum disruption and no need to cut adjoining concrete paths. Two people did the work normally done by three without extending the quoted length of time. Don, Lee and Haydn were very friendly and helpful.

Peter Stokes
Homeowner

Thank you for the works, and the pleasantness of the team of workers who were nice to have around, Sincerely.

Could not recommend these guys highly enough. We were on a tight Christmas deadline with other works so they were under pressure to complete the job.The guys were on site when they said they would. Explained the process and answer all our questions. They took our base boards off so we could reuse them, they also gave us a contact to remove the duct work for ease of putting the new stumps in.We had indoor pets and when required access were careful with our pets.We now have doors that close and very minimal cracking.Thank you very much to Lee, Damian and the crew.Have a great year next year.

Our clubroom has had a wall which had dropped, leaving a 5 cm gap between the ceiling and the wall. Lee inspected under our large hall very thoroughly when he quoted, and gave sound advice. In comparison to the other company who quoted, who told us we didn't understand how buildings are built, and said they could do some work on the stumps but it wouldn't fix the problem.Lee chocked up the relevant stumps and the walls were raised leaving no gap at all with the ceiling. He also fixed some bouncing floorboards and overall did a fantastic, quick & efficient job. His quote was also the cheapest. We would absolutely recommend DJ Baker & Son for this work.

Great customer service, prompt response time and extremely helpful from everyone I came in contact with - Kerri, Lee and Malcolm. Thank you for your service - Highly recommend.

Tim Daykers

Had some cracked concrete stumps that needed replacing. Lee came over to quote and was thorough with his inspection. We had asked multiple companies to quote and many had to be encouraged to actually get under the house and look. With Lee, one of the stumps was very awkward to get to and that wasn’t even discussed as a problem. Very happy with his professionalism and quality of workmanship. His pricing was very competitive as well. If you don’t have time to get quotes, I recommend just going with DJ Baker and Son.

DJ baker and sons came out to look at our stumps after we had some concerns. They came out the next day. Got under the house and were completely transparent in telling us everything was fine and there is no need for worry. They didn’t charge us for a cent for the inspection. And told us things about the house we didn’t know. Thank you for being so honest and helpful with us.

Had these guys do some restumping for part of our 1940s apartment. They were professional, punctual and communicated clearly. The job appears to have been done very well and they were very tidy onsite.Highly recommended.

Had a great experience with Lee, Kerri and their team. They were professional, courteous, helpful and timely in all of their dealings from quote (by recommendation) to completion, which resulted in a seamless job. 72 new stumps later I have a very SOLID house. Could not recommend highly enough. Thanks.

Lee was very helpful and informative on the initial assessment and actually looked under the house : unlike other companies ! His explanations to questions were clear, concise and delivered in a way that was not condescending : unlike other companies!Ben worked like a hero during the week of work required: arriving on schedule , explaining processes and working in a respectful manner (removed shoes and music not blasting)!! Thank you for helping us revive our lil’ol’ house!Sarah

We had all of our 130 stumps replaced on a low bungalow. Malcolm & Malcolm did an amazing job and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. They are very experienced in what they do and we had 100% confidence in their quality of work. Also they were patient and very nice to our sometimes nervous new puppy. :-)Thanks guys!Lee & Jen

Great job by Malcolm and Malcolm, our home in The Patch, was long overdue for re-stumping and leveling. The entire process ran smoothly, from the initial quoting to the clean up. The attention to detail and care taken was second to none. Malcolm's level of communication was very high and I was very reassured through the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend this business

We had increasingly large cracks in an internal hallway wall and eventually door-frames sagging, doors not closing etc. We anticipated a big repair job but Ben and Cody spent three hours lifting the floor and repacking 6 existing concrete stumps in one row, while navigating around heating ducts and with limited space. Afterwards the cracks had completely closed up, the doors all fitted as new and we only have a few small paint touch-ups to make the house as-new.. Very happy with all aspects of the work, and the friendly service. Peter - Vermont South

We recently had our house re-stumped by the two malcolms, what two great guys! Both extremely hard working, respectful, trustworthy guys! They did a brilliant job on our house, walking us through the job and making sure we were happy. Both very friendly and always had time for our questions. Great price and great work and great time management! Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

I couldn't be happier with the work DJ Baker & Son, did on my home. They tackled a significant restumping project with expertise and professionalism. From the initial assessment to the completion of the job, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of the work and a commitment to quality. They were punctual, efficient, and kept me informed every step of the way. What truly impressed me was their attention to detail and the care they took to ensure the structural integrity of my house. The results speak for themselves - my home feels stable and safe once again. I want to express my gratitude to DJ Baker & Son for their exceptional service and highly recommend them to anyone in need of restumping services. Thank you for an amazing job.

Leah Golotta

I recently purchased a house but before making the commitment to purchase wanted a quote for relevelling the floors - they were really out of whack! Lee came to the property for a quote and gave a me detailed update on what was required. I ended up buying the property and booking Lee in for the day after settlement. I am very happy with the outcome, Lee and Ash ended up doing more than was quoted but didn't charge me extra. They kept me updated throughout the works, making sure I knew what was going on. I am really happy with the work completed and the service Lee and Ash provided. I would highly recommend DJ Baker and Son.

We recently employed DJ Baker to restump our 1940's brick home in Glen Iris. They were very professional and we are super happy with the results. Lee clearly communicated all the requirements and walked me through dealing with the council and the required permits. Ben who did the job was terrific, a very courteous, hard-working young man. Checked the levels with me several times through the job. Each stage completed as per the planned timings. Could not recommend DJ Baker highly enough.

I am very relieved, impressed and satisfied following the work that this company have performed on our 100 year old house. the prompt and courteous service was outstanding when compared to others that quoted the job. They continued along that impressive path adding quality and strong work ethics to the mix. I strongly recommend these people as the ones you should consider, no employ, to tackle your re-blocking needs.

I called DJ Baker and asked them to provide a quote to jack and pack our house. I spoke with Leigh who told me that they only deal with houses that have timber stumps. Clearly, based on the photos on the website and the fact that three years ago you had come out and quoted for the same job this was a lie. I wouldn't trust them now to work on anyone's house.

DJ Baker & Son is a professional company. I rate 5 out of 5 for their services from the moment they assess the job until the completion of the job. I would happily recommend DJ Baker & Son to anyone who wants to re-stump the house.I have a double story house and need to re-stump. Lee came and quoted on re-stumping my house with reasonable price including building permit and 10 years warranty. Lee communicated effectively.Malcolm led the team of 4 people (including Malcolm) came to my property to carry out the re-stumping professionally in a week, as promised. They are very friendly, helpful, and trusty people. They left the site clean and tidy.I am happy to recommend the team at DJ Baker & Son to you. A big thanks to Lee, Malcolm and the team at DJ Baker & Son. A special compliment to Malcolm for his excellent work.

DJ Baker did our re-stumping and levelling, from the quoting through to the building inspection permit being issued, these guys were on top of everything. Incredibly professional and friendly which made everything run smooth. Site was clean the whole time and we were kept up to date on any additional costs. It's a tough job and Ben had a smile on his face the whole time. I couldn't recommend this business enough.

We couldn't have been happier with our choice of D.J. Baker & Son Pty Ltd to restump our dearly loved weatherboard home of 32 years. The need to do the job came up unexpectedly and Lee was quick and efficient at coming out to quote. The quote was reasonable and they fit us in quickly. Malcolm and the crew always arrived on time and he communicated all stages of the job. They were very gentle with the levelling with only very minimal cracks occurring which was totally expected. We loved their enthusiasm and banter whist doing such difficult work.Thanks DJ Baker & Son!
