Homes in South West Dublin and what that means for carpentry work
1930s–1950s semi-detached homes in Terenure, Kimmage, Walkinstown and parts of Rathfarnham, big 1970s–1980s estates in Tallaght, Firhouse and Knocklyon, and newer apartments around Citywest.
Mid-century homes often have original flush doors and plain stairs, so door replacement, new balustrades and fitted wardrobes are common jobs. Newer homes commonly need fitted wardrobes, media units, attic storage and squeak or door adjustments after settling.
