We manage every stage of the job — sourcing timber through trusted suppliers, coordinating with builders and trades, and delivering a seamless result from start to finish. It's the reason we're award-winning, and why homes across Goolwa, Victor Harbor, Hindmarsh Island and the wider Fleurieu have trusted us since 2005.
A rare project to work on — an engineered floating loft structure, fitted with 19mm Spotted Gum hardwood flooring and matching steps, sanded and polished to the standard that earned this build South Australia's top home award.
Working on an engineered floating loft meant this couldn't be treated as a standard install — the flooring and matching steps were both secret-nailed through the tongue and fully glued to the substrate, giving the 19mm solid Spotted Gum the rigidity to handle the structural movement and load of a full living space above. Working against gravity to hold a solid hardwood floor of this weight firm through nailing and adhesive cure, while still delivering the tight, seamless finish the build demanded, made it one of the more technically demanding jobs we've taken on.
Finished with Bona's water-based coating system to bring out the natural colour variation in the Spotted Gum without the amber tint solvent-based finishes leave behind.

JQ Timber Floors has been supplying, installing, sanding and polishing timber floors across the Fleurieu Peninsula since 2005 — from beach shacks to foreshore mansions, and everything in between. We've worked as timber flooring specialist for South Coast Constructions, with multiple awards to show for it. It's owner-operated by John Quaremba, a licensed second-fix carpenter and Certificate III qualified flooring technician.
We're a small crew by choice. It means the person who quotes the job is the person doing the sanding, and the finish on your floor is one we'll stand behind personally.
From a tired floor that needs new life to a full new install, we handle every stage ourselves — so the finish is consistent from the first sand to the final coat.
Dust free sanding that strips back years of wear, old finishes and damage to bare, even timber — the foundation for everything that follows.
We coat with Bona's water-based systems — low-odour, fast-curing and built to stay clear rather than yellow with age — finished in the sheen that suits the room, from satin living areas to hard-wearing hallways.
Water damage, white ant damage, scratches and board replacement — plus gap filling and insurance work. Bringing older Fleurieu homes' original timber back to a usable, beautiful standard.
Supply and lay of new timber flooring for renovations, extensions and new builds, finished on site to match the rest of the home.






We look at the timber, the subfloor and what you actually want from the room before anything's quoted.
A clear written quote — scope, timing and price — no surprises added once the job's underway.
Dust free sanding and any board repairs, brought back to bare, level timber.
Coating applied and cured, floor protected and handed back ready to live on.
If you're not sure whether you're in range, ask — most of the southern Fleurieu is a normal day's drive for us.
Tell us a bit about the job and we'll get back to you with a time to come and take a look.
