Building Strength Through Community

With Venables Glass and Home Solutions

Venables Glass and Home Solutions celebrates its second year in business, an impressive milestone for a locally owned company that has quickly earned a reputation for reliability, craftsmanship, and genuine community spirit.

Founded by experienced glazier Joey Venables, the business combines over three decades of trade expertise with a passion for serving the Ingham district. After working in larger centres like Geelong & Melbourne, Joey returned home during the pandemic and established Venables Glass and Home Solutions with a clear goal: to provide top-quality products and services while keeping business local.

Now entering its third year, the company continues to grow steadily. What began as a small team of two has expanded to Joey, two tradesmen and the office manager Hannah, with two new staff joining in the coming weeks. This growth reflects a growing demand for their services across the Hinchinbrook region, stretching north to Tully and south to Townsville.

Venables Glass and Home Solutions provides a comprehensive range of glazing, aluminium, and carpentry services. The team handles everything from minor home maintenance and repairs to large-scale window and door installations. With a full-time carpenter now on board, the business can assist residents with essential maintenance work, particularly those still addressing damage from past flooding events.

As North Queensland approaches storm season, the company’s expertise in preventative measures is more valuable than ever. Venables Glass and Home Solutions offers storm-damage repairs, window protection installations, and Invisi-Gard cyclone-rated security screens that meet government resilience program standards. These high-quality solutions not only enhance safety but can also be subsidised through available funding programs.

All work is custom-measured and fitted by the team, ensuring each job meets exact specifications. Many materials are manufactured in-house, while other specialised components are sourced from Townsville suppliers. This mix allows the business to support local industry while maintaining control over quality and turnaround times.

The company also provides free measuring and quoting services, reinforcing its commitment to transparent and accessible customer care. Their clients include homeowners, builders, and local tradespeople who rely on Venables Glass and Home Solutions for reliable products and service.

Beyond their trade work, the team takes pride in contributing to the local economy and supporting community events. Joey says one of the most rewarding parts of running the business is working in the town he grew up in, surrounded by family and familiar faces.

As Venables Glass and Home Solutions enters its third year, the future looks bright. With a growing team, strong community ties, and a commitment to quality, the business continues to set a solid example of local success built on integrity and genuine connection.
