About Harbour Cabinetmakers
Harbour is the Hutt's quiet workhorse — a 6-person joinery shop running a tight refresh / mid-tier book for Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt families. Their refresh tier is genuinely good value: doors and benchtops only, but on existing cabinetry they'll stand behind. Their full-reno work is solid mid-tier without the premium-tier price tag.
Known for

In the Wellington market
Compact city, mostly older housing stock with quirks — sloping sites, tight access, plenty of asbestos in pre-1990 vinyl flooring under the existing kitchen. Good builders and joiners are booked 3–4 months out. Hill-suburb deliveries cost a little more in labour, but trades know the terrain.
