About

Crafted locally, made to measure

Farr Better Joinery is a Woolgoolga cabinetmaking business led by Dempsey Farr, with 20 years in the trade. Every job is set out, assembled, fitted and installed by our own cabinetmakers, and you deal with the same small team from the first measure to the final adjustment.

What we make

Joinery for homes and workplaces

Every job is designed for the room it goes in. We measure on site, draw it up and specify the boards, finishes and hardware to suit, then build and install it ourselves.

Designer kitchens

New kitchens and full renovations, from the layout through to the last handle. Polytec and Laminex finishes, Blum and Häfele hardware, and stone benchtops such as Smartstone, fabricated by specialist stonemasons and coordinated by us.

Soft-close · integrated appliances

Custom wardrobes

Walk-in robes and built-ins planned around what you actually store. Drawers, pull-out storage from brands such as MODAR, and Hera lighting can be built in, with mirrored sliding doors available.

Hanging · drawers · shoe racks

Laundries & vanities

Moisture-resistant cabinetry for bathrooms and laundries, sized to the space and plumbing you have, with hard-wearing laminate or stone tops.

MR board · wall-hung or floor

Residential joinery

Entertainment units, studies, bars, window seats and built-in storage, made to suit the rest of the house.

Built-ins · feature joinery

Commercial fit-outs

Offices, reception desks, staff rooms and apartment projects for builders and businesses across the Coffs Coast.

Multi-unit · builder packages

Medical fit-outs

Clinic and radiology joinery: reception, consult rooms and treatment areas built to tight specifications.

Durable, cleanable finishes
How we work

From measure to install

One team carries the job the whole way, from the first measure to the last adjustment.

STEP 1

Measure

We visit, take the measurements and talk through how you use the space.

STEP 2

Design & quote

You get drawings and a written quote listing the boards, finishes and hardware for your job, so you know what you’re getting.

STEP 3

Build

Your cabinetry is made to the drawings in our workshop, then assembled with care and fitted with hardware.

STEP 4

Install

We deliver, install and adjust everything until doors and drawers run true.

Materials & hardware

Premium Materials & Hardware

Farr Better Joinery works with trusted suppliers to deliver quality custom cabinetry. We choose boards, finishes, hardware and benchtops for how they’ll perform over years of daily use, then specify them to suit each design.

Products are selected to suit each design and confirmed in your quote. Farr Better Joinery is not an authorised dealer or affiliate of these brands. Brand names and logos are trademarks of their respective owners.

We couldn’t recommend Farr Better Joinery highly enough. They completed all of the cabinetry throughout our new home — our kitchen, entertainment units, walk-in wardrobes, laundry and bathroom vanities and we could not be happier with the result.

The craftsmanship, quality and precision are exceptional. Every detail has been meticulously considered and finished to an incredibly high standard. The cabinetry is not only beautiful, but the quality is something you can genuinely see and feel.

What really stood out to us, though, was the level of communication and care throughout the entire process. No question was ever too much, and we were always given incredibly knowledgeable and informative answers. They took the time to talk us through different options, explain what would work best and offer solutions we hadn’t even considered. We always felt heard, informed and completely confident in the decisions we were making.

Dempsey, who leads the team, was an absolute standout. His knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail and genuine commitment to getting everything right were second to none. The entire team were fantastic and clearly take enormous pride in their work.

We were so impressed with Farr Better that we have already decided to continue working with them on further projects, including our outdoor kitchen which probably says everything!

Thank you to Dempsey and the entire team for helping bring our vision to life. We absolutely love what you’ve created for our home.

10/10 - exceptional workmanship, exceptional

people and genuinely a pleasure to work with. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!

We couldn't be happier with the work Dempsey did on our kitchen! From the very first consultation, he took the time to understand our vision and offered helpful suggestions to make the space both functional and beautiful. The quality of the craftsmanship is fantastic. The materials used are top-notch, and the finish is flawless.

Throughout the entire process, Dempsey was professional, communicative, and always on time. He worked efficiently and kept us informed every step of the way, ensuring the project stayed on schedule.

We highly recommend Dempsey for anyone looking for expert craftsmanship, reliability, and exceptional service.

I completed an internal renovation and Dempsey worked alongside my builder to deliver a beautiful new kitchen to go with the rest of the updates.

He agreed to work with the builder's availability, which was a relatively quick turnaround and the kitchen was pivotal to the overall timeline. So the process from design, quote, to build and install was compressed. Dempsey was still able to accommodate and meet the timeline, and his workmanship, attention to detail, liaison with us and the builder was clear and to a high standard. I had a couple of specialty fittings and aspects to the design incorporated and I am very pleased with the finished product. The kitchen is a joy to be in - very pretty, which I love. I recommend you speak to Farr Better Joinery if you are looking for a beautiful new kitchen. Thank you Dempsey!
