Meet Jeff Rentoule
Hi, I'm Jeff. Canberra born and raised, and I've never lived anywhere else. This city is home in every sense of the word. My wife, our three kids and I live and breathe Canberra. Most weekends you'll find us at one of the local parks, riding around the bike trails, or just enjoying everything this place has to offer.
I've spent 19 years in the construction industry. I started on the tools, learned the trade from the ground up, and worked on just about every kind of residential project Canberra has to offer, from cold concrete slab pours in the depths of winter to heritage extensions in the Inner North. Five years ago I took the leap and started Rentoule Projects because I wanted to do this work my way. I wanted to build the kind of relationships with clients that I'd want as a homeowner myself.
For me, this is more than a job. I genuinely care about the families and the homes I'm trusted to work on. That's why I keep the team small, why I'm personally across every project, and why every contract is fixed-price so you always know exactly where you stand. No surprises, no fine print, no chasing me up for an answer.
Canberra is a small town in a lot of ways, and reputation is everything. Most of my work comes through referrals from past clients, and I'm proud of that. It tells me I'm doing something right.
If you've got a project on your mind, even if it's just a what-if conversation at this stage, I'd love to hear from you. Coffee's on me. Let's chat about what you're dreaming up and see if we're a good fit.

Chris - Weetangera
Right from the outset, it was clear that Jeff's expertise and commitment were unparalleled as he took charge of managing the extensive renovation project. Our home, with its origins in the 1970s, required a comprehensive interior overhaul to bring it up to date. His diligence and commitment to excellence were evident in every aspect of the project, from the intricate tiling, plastering, and joinery work to the installation of new timber flooring and carpet. The final result was a beautifully renovated home that far exceeded our expectations. Their dedication to quality, attention to detail, and ability to overcome challenges with professionalism are admirable. We are thrilled with the outcome of our renovation and owe a significant debt of gratitude to Jeff for his integral role in making our vision a reality.
Adam - Holder
When we embarked on our renovation journey, we placed a significant amount of trust in Rentoule Projects, and I'm pleased to say it was well-founded. Jeff and his team have been exceptional, turning our 50-year-old house into a modern, functional home. Before taking down a wall marked with our kids' growth over the years - a detail I had overlooked - he thoughtfully pointed it out, giving us the chance to preserve that memory. This attention to personal detail was emblematic of his work throughout the entire project. I wholeheartedly recommend Rentoule Projects. Their work ethic, the trust they foster, and their thorough understanding of what makes a house a home, sets them apart.
Mark - Griffith
Jeff and his team did an amazing job with our building renovation, including new bathrooms and laundry, and other updates inside and out. They were responsive and solution focussed throughout the process. They finished on time and within budget. We highly recommend Jeff for any renovation project.
