Most homes here are single detached houses on their own block. That makes the house itself the starting point for every job. Use the quote form and a licensed restumper inspects before anything is priced.

Detached houses make up most of Frankston's homes

Single detached houses are 78.4% of private dwellings in the City of Frankston. That is well above the Greater Melbourne figure.

For restumping, it means most jobs are a whole house on its own stumps. Each one is checked on its own, not priced from a standard list.

Townhouses and units are a smaller share

Medium-density housing, such as townhouses and two-storey apartments, makes up 20% of dwellings. Apartments in buildings of three or more storeys are only 0.8%.

A semi-detached home can still have timber floors on stumps. If yours does, tell us when you send the form.

Restumping is also called reblocking

Restumping and reblocking mean the same job: replacing the stumps, also called piers, under a house. Underpinning is a different job and repairs failing footings.

The restumper who quotes works out which one your house needs.

Planning an extension or renovation

An extension, also called an addition, needs level footings under the old part of the house. A renovation or remodel often shows up sloping floors that were hidden before.

Mention the plans in the form so the inspection covers them.
