Tired of Chasing Five Different Tradies for One Home?
If you own a unit in Brisbane inner city, you know the drill. You want to get a few things done around the place — maybe some custom storage, a fresh coat of paint, the balcony finally sorted — and suddenly you're coordinating a small army. A carpenter for the cabinetry. A painter for the walls. A different company for the flooring. Someone else entirely for the outdoor stuff.
Each of them has a three-week lead time. None of them show up when they say they will. And somehow, after all of that, things still don't quite come together the way you imagined.
That's the problem Inner City Maintenance was built to solve.
"We built Inner City Maintenance because inner-city living has its own set of challenges — and most trades businesses aren't really set up for it. We are."
One Team. Every Space.
We're a Brisbane-based home transformation service built specifically for units, apartments, and townhouses. We work across the full scope of what it takes to make a city home actually function and feel great — indoors and out.
That means when you call us, you're not starting a project management exercise. You're making one call, to one team, who can handle the whole thing.
🪵
Custom Storage & Cabinetry
Designed for your specific space — not a generic box that almost fits. Floor-to-ceiling, under-stair, built-in, bespoke.
🏗️
Flooring & Tiling
From full-room replacements to targeted upgrades. Timber, tile, hybrid — whatever works best for your space and lifestyle.
🎨
Patching, Painting & Mounting
Walls that look like they were always meant to look that way. Repairs done properly, not just covered up.
🔧
Fixtures & Flat Pack
Modern fixture installation and professional flat pack assembly — because life's too short to spend a Sunday with an allen key.
🌿
Balcony & Courtyard Design
Custom outdoor spaces designed for inner-city entertaining. We turn bare concrete slabs into rooms you actually use.
🧹
Carpet Cleaning
Professional clean that brings carpet back to life — and keeps it there. One of the highest-impact, lowest-cost refreshes you can do.
We Get Inner-City Living
Not every home improvement business is set up for units. A lot of them are built around houses — bigger spaces, simpler strata situations, more room to work. Inner-city apartments come with their own constraints. Noise restrictions. Lift access. Strata approval requirements. Limited parking for a work vehicle. Neighbours on three sides.
We work in these environments every day. We know how to get a job done cleanly and efficiently in a space where you can't just leave the front door open and make a mess of the hallway. We treat your home — and your building — with respect.
Sound familiar?
Storage that's never quite enough no matter how much you declutter
A balcony that's been "nearly sorted" for two years
Walls with old holes and mismatched paint from previous repairs
Flat pack furniture still in the box from when you moved in
Flooring you've learned to ignore but guests always notice
A pet and a small balcony and no good solution for either
The Pet Toilet Thing
While we're here — if you have a dog and a balcony and you've been living with a subscription-based pet toilet solution that costs you money every month and still somehow manages to smell, we have something worth knowing about.
We design and install odourless pet toilet systems for apartment balconies. One-off cost. No ongoing subscription. Designed specifically for your balcony layout and your dog's needs. It's one of those things that sounds niche right up until you need it, at which point it becomes the most important thing we do.
🐾
Apartment dog owners: you don't have to keep paying monthly for a solution that doesn't really work. Our balcony pet toilet systems are custom-designed, properly installed, and genuinely odourless. One call sorts it for good.
Living Plant Walls — Because Your Balcony Deserves Better
One of our most requested installs right now is living plant walls — and it's easy to see why. In a unit where outdoor space is limited, a vertical garden does something that no amount of pot plants quite achieves. It brings a genuine sense of nature into a space that's otherwise surrounded by concrete and glass.
We design and install them to work with your specific wall type, your light exposure, and honestly, how much maintenance you actually want to do. This isn't a "here are some pots on a frame" situation — it's a proper installation that becomes a feature of your home.
Curious what we could do with your space? We're happy to come and take a look — no obligation, just an honest conversation about what's possible.
