If your home was built on stumps, time and nature are slowly working against it. Old timber stumps rot, crack, or sink — and when they do, the whole house feels it. Floors slope, doors jam, and cracks creep across walls. Perfecly Restumping & Underpinning restores stability by replacing failing stumps with strong, durable supports, bringing homes back to level and giving families peace of mind.

Restumping (also known as reblocking) is the process of removing old or damaged stumps beneath a home and replacing them with new concrete or steel supports. These stumps form the very base of your house, holding up the floor and walls above.
In Melbourne, thousands of homes built on timber stumps are now reaching the age where those supports have deteriorated. Moisture, shifting soils, and termite activity are the most common culprits. When stumps lose their strength, the house above starts to move — causing visible and sometimes dangerous issues.
At Perfectly, we’ve been restumping Victorian homes for over 30 years. Whether it’s a heritage weatherboard, a mid-century brick veneer, or a modern renovation on poor soil, our team knows how to diagnose the problem, lift the house safely, and replace every failing stump with a long-term solution.
All stumps beneath the house are replaced. This is the most reliable, long-term solution for older homes where the majority of stumps have failed or are nearing the end of their life.
Targeted replacement of only the stumps that have deteriorated. While cost-effective in the short term, this option may require future work as other stumps age.
Re-aligning and correcting floors after stump replacement. Even small adjustments can improve safety, comfort, and the overall feel of your home.
We begin with a full inspection of your home’s subfloor, checking stump condition, soil movement, and the overall structural impact.
You’ll receive a clear plan outlining which stumps need replacing, recommended materials, and an upfront cost with no hidden extras.
The house is safely lifted with precision jacks, failing stumps are removed, and new concrete or steel supports are installed.
Floors are re-levelled, doors and windows are adjusted back into square, and we leave your property clean and stable.

If you are looking for high quality restumping and leveling your house, do not look anywhere else. This is your MAN and you will be in good hands. I wish I could give a 10 star rating for this company. Mike is top-notch professional. His quote was very competitive, and he was extremely punctual, humble, understanding, supportive, and the quality of their work is second to none. His crew reflect his values as well. They were always on time, and hardworking and supportive. He really saved us a lot of time by starting just 3 days after he visited the site. He applied for all the necessary permits and goes by the book. His work is transparent and he is very responsive and supportive throughout the process. We very grateful for this team for their support and professionalism that are very hard to match!
Mike did an excellent job with the house levelling and re-stumping at my place. He was professional, reliable, and clearly very experienced. He took the time to explain everything clearly, and the quality of his work really shows. The house feels solid and level now, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend Mike if you need re-stumping or foundation work done!
These guys are the real deal. When I read their 5 star reviews I was impressed. I then had Matt out to quote my job. He was professional and knew exactly what he was talking about. The boys came and completed the job and were excellent. Smooth work no cracking or tiles breaking just excellent work. I highly recommend
"Communication" - this is what was significant for this job to go smoothly. Mike is a professional, he does not disappear if things went pear shaped, he found a solution. There may have been issues during the job however open communication meant that Mike presented a solution that would fix the problem within tolerance, considering the house is over 40 years old.
Would not hesitate to use his services again and would highly recommend.
Perfect experience from start to finish! Great communication, professional, polite and punctual. They explain everything. And answer all your questions. Reasonable pricing. No damage. They organise permits and inspections and clean up too. I had my floors relevelled and some additional stumps put in. Special thanks to Mike and Murray. They made what seemed a daunting project to me- a walk in the park. Highly recommend.
