Glendfield House Renovation Project
$
$
This Glendfield property renovation transformed a dated and disconnected layout into a spacious, modern family home. The original kitchen was closed off, with a tight dining area and small living room that did not reflect the true size of the house. By incorporating an underused bedroom, we created a much larger and more luxurious living space with a modern open plan kitchen. The renovation also included a beautiful new family bathroom designed with a premium, contemporary finish. The entire project was completed in just seven weeks, ready just in time for Christmas entertaining. The result is a bright, open, and functional home that finally matches the lifestyle and potential of the property.

Hillcrest Property Renovation Project

This Hillcrest property renovation was driven by a family who felt their home had become dated, cramped, and short on bathrooms. They considered selling and buying a newer home but did not want to leave the area they loved. After meeting James Goren, the decision was made to enhance the existing property and unlock its full potential. The renovation included creating a walk in wardrobe and ensuite for the master bedroom, adding a second family bathroom, and upgrading the laundry with a new toilet and vanity. The kitchen was completely reorganised into a modern, open, and highly functional space designed for entertaining. The result is a more comfortable, practical, and modern family home without the need to move.

Flat Bush Home Renovation Project

This Flat Bush home renovation was completed for a family who had lived in the property for over 25 years and felt the home had become dated and tired. The bathrooms, living areas, carpet, paint, lighting, and overall finish no longer suited their lifestyle. After consulting with James Goren from The Renovation Team, a clear and structured plan was developed to modernise the home. The renovation included a brand new modern kitchen, upgraded bathrooms with improved layout and flow, and a beautifully finished laundry. The entire house was refreshed with new paint, carpet, and lighting to create a cohesive and contemporary feel. The project ran smoothly from start to finish and was completed just in time for the family to enjoy Christmas in their upgraded home.

Small Renovations or Standalone Bathroom Remodels – If only one bathroom is being renovated and a second bathroom is available with easy access, you can likely remain at home with minimal disruption.
Kitchen Renovations – The kitchen is a key functional space, and its renovation will disrupt the household significantly. With constant activity, noise, and limited access to cooking facilities, it’s best to arrange temporary accommodation for a smoother and safer process.
Major Renovations – If the project affects multiple rooms, requires structural work, or involves kitchen and bathroom upgrades, vacating the property is highly recommended. Dust, construction materials, and ongoing work create an environment that is not ideal for living and can pose health and safety risks. Additionally, a lack of functional spaces such as a kitchen or bathroom can make daily life difficult.
Living in a renovation zone can be inconvenient due to noise, dust, and restricted access to essential spaces. For personalised advice on your renovation, consult The Renovation Team to determine the best approach for your situation.

Older Auckland homes often reveal hidden issues during renovation, such as:
• Rotten timber or flooring
• Outdated or unsafe electrical wiring
• Leaking pipes or damaged plumbing
These problems can increase your total renovation cost by 5–20%, depending on the severity. A professional renovation company will notify you straight away, explain the issue, provide cost-effective options, and keep you informed at every step. This is where having a contingency budget helps protect your overall spend.
