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.

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.

1566977136

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.

Fabulous job. The workmen arrived on time and worked hard everyday until completion of the job. They were professional and polite and were not intrusive. The job is now done and we are very happy with the standard of work performed.

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!

Very happy with the reblocking on my 4 Br house, recently completed by DJ Baker & Son. All quoting, administration, permits, etc were completed quickly and professionally by Lee and Kerri. The on-site team, led by Malcolm, were terrific. The crew took great care and were a pleasure to deal with. Overall, seamless process. Highly recommended.

Partial restumping job completed on time with great quality and professionalism by Ben. The main guy Lee is a true gentleman who provided with us a very competitive quote and guided us along the way. I am very happy with the results.

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.

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.

Sent an email Sunday night, Lee was out the next day to measure up and the job was completed the very next day. Exceptional service.Highly recommended

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.

1689740575

Everything went smoothly and on schedule from the start to inspection certificate at the end. The place was also left tidy. Ben was marvellous I don’t think I have had a better experience with any other work done on my home. Thank you.

1688979177

A huge thanks to Leigh for coming out at very short notice to check out our new property and providing very helpful advice. Highly recommend

1688019382

Lee was extremely helpful and gave a through and honest review of the task at hand. would highly recommend them, very trustworthy and capable team

1687906388

I would like to thank Ben and Lee for smooth and easy process.Exceptional service. everything done on time as agreed on and hassle free.

1687486728

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.

1687247293

Rob is a great guy, he had our quotes completed fast. And great communication! We look forward to you coming to get our house back to 100%

1680558245

DJ Baker & Son restumpped my house that had a slope of over 12cm. They are very professional, reliable and reasonably priced. I would recommend their services.

This is my second time dealing with DJ Baker & Son, first job was 3 years ago. They've maintained their great customer service, quality of work and prompt response time and extremely helpful from everyone I came in contact with - Lee and Kerri. Thank you again for your service - Highly recommend.

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.

BIG THANKS to Lee & his team at D.J. Baker & Son Pty Ltd who recently restumped our 90+ year old house. From quoting through to completing the job, everyone we dealt with were friendly & efficient and most importantly, the quality of their work is fantastic. Communication was clear through out the process, they left the property as they found it and they completed the job as per the advised timelines. Highly recommended!! Thanks DJ Baker & Son!

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!
