Expert Avery Building by Craig’s Property Maintenance Services
Unquestionably, an expertly built bird avery is more than just a pet project. It’s a secure, comfortable environment for your feathered companions and a stylish addition to your property. At Craig’s Property Maintenance Services, we understand the level of precision and attention required to create functional and visually pleasing aviaries across the Greater Wellington Region. With over 20 years of hands-on building experience, Craig provides tailored solutions that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern expectations. Every structure is built with compliance, safety, and practicality in mind, whether it is a compact backyard enclosure or a spacious custom-built avery.


Why Choose Craig for Your Avery Building Needs?
Admittedly, not all handyman services specialise in avery construction. However, Craig’s background in residential construction and pet-focused enclosures positions him uniquely to offer this niche but essential service. He works closely with homeowners to design bird aviaries that provide protection from the elements, predator resistance, and room for natural movement and perching. As a trusted Wellington handyman, Craig ensures that all materials are pet-safe and compliant with New Zealand building standards. Additionally, each build is customised to suit your outdoor layout and aesthetic preferences, giving you peace of mind and visual appeal.
Custom Avery Construction with Functional Design
Naturally, every bird species has unique requirements. That’s why Craig builds each avery around the specific needs of the birds it will house. Whether it’s parrots, finches, budgies, or other domestic birds, Craig factors in space requirements, ventilation, sunlight exposure, and internal layout. Carefully considering ease of cleaning, feeder placement, and maintenance access, his designs ensure long-term usability. With practical features such as reinforced mesh, lockable doors, and weather-resistant materials, each avery project is crafted to stand the test of time and Wellington’s changing weather conditions.
Pet-Friendly Structures with a Personal Touch
Importantly, Craig’s dedication to animal wellbeing extends to every enclosure he builds. From catios to bird aviaries, he treats every project with the care it deserves. Building on decades of trade knowledge, he combines secure construction with thoughtful design elements. Birds benefit from stress-free environments, and owners enjoy visually tidy installations that blend naturally with gardens and fences. His approach prioritises not just functionality, but aesthetic coherence with your home’s overall look.
Avery Building for Landlords and Tenanted Properties
Occasionally, tenants may wish to house birds or pet parrots. In such cases, landlords can count on Craig to construct semi-permanent aviaries that respect rental agreements and can be dismantled or adjusted without damage to the property. All installations are completed with minimal disruption and follow New Zealand tenancy and housing regulations. Whether for long-term tenants or family visitors, these builds offer a safe, removable housing option for pets.
Combining Safety with Style
Consistently, Craig prioritises both pet safety and property value. His bird enclosures are not only durable but also visually pleasing. Using high-quality timber, rust-resistant mesh, and protective roof coverings, Craig ensures your avery enhances your garden rather than detracts from it. He takes care to match timber treatments and paintwork with existing structures, creating a unified aesthetic. Whether you’re in Karori, Lower Hutt or Kāpiti, the end result is a durable, safe and attractive structure.
Serving the Entire Greater Wellington Region
Strategically based in Wellington, Craig offers mobile avery building services across all suburbs of the region. This includes Wellington City, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua, and the wider Kāpiti Coast. No matter where you’re located, he brings tools, materials and expertise directly to your doorstep. His local knowledge helps him cater to each area’s environmental challenges, from wind exposure to limited backyard space, ensuring that each aviary fits its surroundings perfectly.
Flexible Builds for Seasonal or Indoor Use
Occasionally, avery needs are temporary or seasonal. Craig accommodates this by offering indoor bird enclosures and modular external builds. These are ideal for use during breeding seasons, temporary boarding, or when introducing new pets to the household. Each modular unit is designed to be moveable, easily cleaned, and storage-friendly. This flexibility is especially useful for smaller properties or clients with changing pet needs.
Added Services for Pet Owners
Beyond building aviaries, Craig also offers a complete suite of handyman services for pet lovers. These include constructing custom catios, reinforcing fences, installing pet doors, and modifying spaces to improve animal safety. Whether it’s a deck that doubles as a bird lookout or garden landscaping to support aviary placement, his service provides cohesive and thoughtful improvements tailored to pet-friendly living.
Seamless Process from Start to Finish
Before any sawdust is made, Craig starts with a consultation. He listens to your needs, measures the space, and discusses design preferences. Once agreed, materials are sourced, and a time is scheduled that suits you. He handles every part of the project with punctuality and professionalism. Thanks to years of field-tested systems, each build is completed on time and with minimal disruption to your home or pets.
Partnering with Certified Specialists
For builds requiring electrical or plumbing elements – like heated perches or internal water features – Craig collaborates with certified tradesmen. This ensures compliance with New Zealand’s safety codes and provides reassurance that specialised installations meet all legal requirements. His established network of professionals means you get a seamless service without needing to coordinate multiple contractors.
