Renovations

A fresh look for the way you live now

Whether your home needs a facelift or a full rethink, we’ll help you get there. Our in-house interior designers work with you from the start to plan a space that suits your lifestyle, your family and your budget.

Open up the living areas, connect the inside to a new alfresco, or bring tired bathrooms, kitchens and laundries up to date. We design to your budget and build to a standard you’ll be proud of, so you get the best possible outcome for every dollar.

  • Interior design guidance from concept to completion
  • Open-plan living and layout reconfiguration
  • New alfresco and outdoor living spaces
  • Bathroom, kitchen and laundry upgrades
  • Custom built-in robes and storage

Home staging & pre-sale facelifts

Sell sooner. Sell for more.

First impressions sell houses. We get your home ready for market fast with targeted repairs, a fresh facelift and professional styling. One team handles everything, on time for your sale campaign.

We walk through your home with you, and your agent if you like, and focus on the work buyers notice and will pay for. Nothing more.

Our facelift services include:

  • Interior and exterior painting
  • New flooring and carpet
  • Kitchen and bathroom refreshes
  • New lighting, tapware, door handles and fittings
  • Repairs and patching
  • Gardens, fences, decks and street appeal

Our interior designers then style each room so buyers can picture themselves living there. A well-presented home photographs better, attracts more buyers and gives you the best chance of a strong result.

FAQ

Questions we get asked.

Is it cheaper to renovate or knock down and rebuild?

It depends on how much of the existing house is worth keeping. If the structure is sound and you love the front rooms, renovating and extending usually wins. If the whole thing is failing, a rebuild can cost less than fixing it. We'll give you an honest read after a site visit — we'd rather tell you not to renovate than take on a job that shouldn't happen.

Do you do renovations on heritage-listed homes?

Yes. Period homes are a large part of what we do. Heritage overlays restrict what you can change at the street frontage but usually leave the rear far more open than people expect. See our heritage and period homes page.

Can I supply my own fixtures and appliances?

Yes, and plenty of clients do. We'll tell you what needs to be on site by when, and flag anything that will cause a problem with the install before you buy it.

How much disruption should I expect?

More than you're hoping for and less than you're fearing. We seal work zones with dust barriers, keep access clear, and sweep the site at the end of every day. For big jobs we'll be straight with you about which weeks are genuinely unpleasant.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes — domestic building work in Victoria carries statutory warranty periods, and we're covered by domestic building insurance on qualifying jobs. Manufacturer warranties on fixtures and appliances are handed over at completion.
