SIMPLER job: Make the owner visible — build familiarity
Hall Restorations is a small Northern Rivers crew run by Josh Hall, working across Tweed Heads, the Tweed Coast and the Murwillumbah hinterland. Roof cleaning and restoration, exterior house washing and painting, gutters, driveways, and grounds maintenance.
The crew started further south in Port Macquarie under the name Affordable D&R Restorations. Josh has recently relocated to the Northern Rivers and is consolidating the operation under the Hall Restorations name. Same operator, same hands-on work, smaller geographic footprint than before. The Facebook page that's existed for a long time as Affordable D&R is being renamed; the URL slug is already HallRestorations.
How we work
Josh does the quote, runs the job, and answers the phone. The crew is small — Josh and the boys, typically a two-to-three-person team, sometimes more for bigger jobs. Same faces on your block each time where the schedule allows.
We don't run a sales team. We don't do a "we'll be there in the morning" and turn up next Thursday. We don't put hero metrics or fake counters on the website. We quote in writing with a real number, we show up when we said we would, and we walk you around the job at the end.
What we know
Most of the work in this region splits into two patterns. The coastal strip — Tweed Heads, Kingscliff, Cabarita, Pottsville — is salt, cocos palms, and the wet-season storms that come in hard off the ocean. The hinterland — Murwillumbah, Uki, Burringbar — is moisture, mould, and big rains rather than salt. The work setup for each is different, and we adjust rather than treat every job the same.
The credentials we lean on:
- Work Safe at Heights certified (RTO 41067)
- Construction certified (RTO 800314)
- Public liability insurance — certificate available on request
- About 10 five-star Google reviews under the previous name, plus the references we've built up here
What we've learned the hard way
Every operator with a few years on the tools has a story they've learned from. Ours is the warranty page — which exists because in 2024 a driveway coating job didn't hold up the way it should have. We've changed how we approach driveway coatings since, and the warranty page lays out exactly what we cover and what we don't. It's not the easiest page on the site to write but it's probably the most important one for anyone deciding whether to trust us with their place.
What we don't do
Tree work above 4 metres (call an arborist). Asbestos removal (call a licensed removalist). Interior painting (different operator). Window cleaning glass (different trade). Lawn renovation, fertilising or chemical lawn treatments. Solar panel cleaning. If you ask, we'll give you a recommendation rather than try to do the job anyway.
Ready for a real number?
Phone is the fastest. Quote form if you'd rather write. Either way, you'll hear back with a written number, not a starting price.
