Renovations

Making more of the home you've got

Plenty of Wairarapa homes are worth keeping and just need more room, a better layout or a kitchen that works. We do everything from extensions to older villas and cottages through to a single bathroom, in Greytown, Featherston, Martinborough, Carterton and Masterton.

Smaller jobs

Repairs, maintenance and one-off jobs around the house. Give us a call and we'll come and have a look.

“The quality of the tradesmen and the communication from Kieran during the rebuild was outstanding. No issue was too great and there was always a mutual solution found if required. The final result was beyond our expectation.”

Looking after older homes

Our renovations are done by the same team that builds our new homes, and Kieran is involved from the first visit to the finish.

Older villas and cottages need someone who understands how they were built. We'll talk you through each stage, help with designers and consents where they're needed and let you know early on whether you can stay living in the house during the work.

Renovation questions

Can't see your question here? Give Kieran a call on 027 518 8876.

Do you do smaller renovation jobs?

Yes, we're happy to. Bathrooms, laundries, decks and repairs are all part of what we do, and they're looked after by the same team that builds our new homes.

Will my extension need building consent?

Most extensions do. We'll let you know early on what your project needs, and we can manage the consent process with your designer and the local council.

Can we stay living in the house during the work?

Often, yes, depending on the job. We'll plan the work with you so you know which parts of the house will be out of action, and for how long.

How do you price a renovation?

Kieran will come out and look at the house first, then we'll price the work you've agreed on. Older homes can hold a few unknowns, so we'll talk you through those before you commit.

Tell us about your renovation
