What Our Customers Say About Us
Angela and David’s 140-Year-Old Auckland Villa Renovation
After being divided into three apartments, this 140-year-old Auckland villa was carefully transformed back into one beautiful, cohesive home for Angela and David. The renovation restored original ceilings, plaster columns and other hidden character features while introducing a modern country-style kitchen, new bathrooms, a spacious master suite and improved natural light. With James coordinating the trades, materials and construction schedule, the couple could step back from the day-to-day work and enjoy a smooth renovation experience that delivered a comfortable, character-filled home designed to last for generations.
The burning question: ‘Build or rebuild?’ For us, it’s not just about money or space. We focus on honouring culture and tradition, which led us to restore a 1970s iconic Kiwi home with modern comforts. Instead of overcrowding the neighbourhood, we created a spacious, sunlit home that embraces the Kiwi way of life—perfect for families and maintaining lifestyle without compromise

Amelia’s First‑Home Transformation – Mount Eden
Amelia had her sights set on Mount Eden but as a first home buyer with a limited budget, the dream seemed out of reach. That was until she stumbled across a rundown one bedroom unit most buyers wouldn’t touch.
She saw potential and called The Renovation Team before making the offer. James sat down with her, broke down the process, and gave her the confidence to move forward knowing the cost and timeline were locked in.
Eight weeks later, everything had changed.
We reconfigured the layout to add a second bedroom, upgraded the kitchen, bathroom, plumbing, power, and added modern lighting and a heat pump. The home was transformed on time and on budget.
From a $451,000 purchase and $69,000 renovation, the new valuation came in at $700,000. That’s $180,000 equity gained in just two months.
At handover, Amelia burst into tears. She couldn’t believe that as a first home buyer, she’d not only secured a home in Mount Eden but increased her wealth so quickly. The keys, the champagne, the fresh new home – her dream had come true.
