Kevin Wharton, Toowoomba carpenter and plasterer

Hi, I'm Kevin.

Carpenter and plasterer behind KGW. I've been on the tools since 2012, across renovations, commercial fit-outs and repairs throughout Toowoomba and South East Queensland. Most of those years were spent working for other builders. KGW is my own business, so when you ring, you get the tradie who's coming to do the work.

What makes me different

Most tradies stick to one trade. I do two, properly. Framing and plastering handled by the same person, from start to finish, no handovers, no miscommunication.

Who I'm not for

If you need it rushed next week or you're chasing the cheapest quote, I'm not the right fit.

How I work

I take on a small number of jobs and work through them properly. 2026 is fully booked, and I'm now taking enquiries for 2027 on larger projects. I still fit in small carpentry, plastering and repair jobs most weeks. Either way, you'll hear back from me within 1 business day, and I'll be upfront about timing from the start.

Quote, plan, build, clean up. The person you meet is the one doing the work. No subbies, no surprises.

What Toowoomba homeowners say

★★★★★
Laundry renovation Toowoomba

Kevin has done multiple projects for us and does excellent work. New ceiling and trims in the kitchen and a new laundry fit out. He takes the time to explain the process and shows up when he says he is going to. Highly recommend.

Cassie N · South Toowoomba · Jan 2026

★★★★★

Needed a few touch-ups done on some home DIY, and this legend came around super quick. One of the best plasterers I've dealt with, easy to get along with, straight to the point, and great with communication. Fair price, locked in a time, and got it done when he said he would. No overcharging, no mucking around. 10/10.

Ben D · Wilsonton · Nov 2025

★★★★★

Kevin was hired to put 4 above-normal-size and heavy frames on our walls. He discussed thoroughly with me the placement and now the frames sit perfectly level & evenly spaced. Patient and friendly, we will definitely be hiring him again. Highly recommend Kevin for any carpentry or plastering needs!

Jacqui B · Glenvale

★★★★★

Excellent job. Kevin is easy to deal with, always showed up on time and was willing to work around our schedule where possible. He was very professional and meticulous on the job. We are very happy with the finished job. Russell and Rebecca.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does a carpenter or plasterer cost in Toowoomba?

We sell outcomes, not hours. Every job is priced as a single fixed quote, so you know the total before we start. Small repairs can usually be estimated over the phone or from a photo. Larger projects need a quick site visit ($99, credited toward the total if you proceed) so the quote covers everything the job actually needs.

Are you really qualified in both carpentry and plastering?

Yes. Kevin holds qualifications in both trades and is QBCC licensed (#15552933).

Kevin is licensed to do the following:

  • Plastering Drywall
  • Carpentry
  • Joinery
  • Floor Finishing and Covering (Hard Sector)
  • Roof and Wall Cladding
  • Metal Fascias and Gutters
  • Sheds, Carports and Garages
  • Structural Landscaping (Trade)
What areas around Toowoomba do you service?

Toowoomba and surrounding suburbs including Rangeville, Middle Ridge, Centenary Heights, East Toowoomba, South Toowoomba, North Toowoomba, Wilsonton, Glenvale, Darling Heights, Highfields, Kearneys Spring, Newtown, Mount Lofty, and the Toowoomba CBD.

Do you take on small jobs?

Yes, patch repairs, single-room ceiling fixes, door rehangs, and minor carpentry are all welcome. KGW is built for jobs too complex for a handyman, and too small for a full builder.

How long does a ceiling re-sheet take?

A typical single room ceiling rip down and re-sheet takes 1–2 days, including stripping the old sheets, fixing and setting the new plasterboard, followed by sanding ready for paint. Larger areas are quoted with a site visit.

Do you use subcontractors?

No. Kevin handles every job from quote to completion. The same person who quoted you is the one on the tools, no apprentice handovers, no trade coordination delays.
