One Honest Job at a Time.

Putting hard work and pride into every build across the South

Having a smaller team means we have more control over quality and customer relations

A.H. Carpentry Transforming Visions into Exquisite Builds

Director and owner Ash Hellier runs the show alongside apprentice Ed Guerin, keeping things personal and hands-on from start to finish. Every build is managed directly on site, so nothing slips through the cracks — just solid, reliable workmanship done right the first time.

Our Projects

New Builds

We take on a few selected builds each year so we can give every one the attention it deserves. Ash is on site from start to finish, making sure every detail’s done right and nothing’s rushed. Built local, built strong, built to last.

Personal Care

Building across South Canterbury and the Mackenzie District, Ash takes pride in keeping things personal. You’re never just another project, he’s with you every step of the way, making sure the process feels easy and down to earth. Always just a call away, Ash’s approach is simple: clear communication, genuine care, and results you can trust.

Renovations and Alterations

The heart of any home lies in the details, from the kitchen that brings everyone together to the bathroom that starts and ends your day. We handle renovations and alterations of every scale, focusing on practicality, solid workmanship, and a finish you’ll be proud to show off. Whether it’s a full rebuild or a simple refresh, we’ll work with you to bring your vision to life, tidy, on time, and done right.

About Ash

Our Story

With over 20 years in the building industry, Ash started AH Carpentry 13 years ago to focus on quality over quantity. He’s still on the tools every day, making sure every detail meets his own standards. Away from the site, Ash is a family man with two boys who keep him on his toes — when he’s not building, you’ll find him out hunting or on the boat.

About Us

Our Offerings

It’s a small crew with a big work ethic.

By only taking on a few selected builds each year, we can give every project the time and attention it deserves. That means quality craftsmanship, clear communication, and jobs that finish on time and on budget. Weekly updates keep clients in the loop, and Ash’s hands-on approach means no surprises, just good, honest building.
