We are a small design and build team of carpenters, designers and project leads. One crew sees your home through from the first visit to the final walkthrough, so nothing gets lost along the way.

FAQ

Questions we hear most

Still wondering about something? Call us on 555-0151 and talk to a real person.

How much does a renovation cost?

Every home is different, so we quote after a free visit. As a guide, bathrooms start from $18,000 and kitchens from $35,000. Your quote is fixed and itemised.

How long will my project take?

Most bathrooms take three to four weeks and kitchens six to eight. You get a written schedule before we start, and weekly updates as we go.

Do you handle design and permits?

Yes. Our designers draw the plans and we look after permits and inspections, so you deal with one team from start to finish.

Can we stay at home during the work?

Usually, yes. We seal off work areas, keep a clean path through the house and tidy up at the end of every day.

Is the work covered by a warranty?

Every project comes with our 10 year workmanship warranty, on top of the manufacturer warranties on fixtures and materials.
