We focus on a personalised, tailored service to really meet your needs.

What renovation ideas are currently popular in Hawke’s Bay?

Hawke’s Bay homeowners are big on liveability and indoor-outdoor flow to take advantage of the beautiful east coast weather. Large bifold or stacking doors that open out to covered decks or patios seamlessly connect inside and out, creating a fantastic zone for family living and summer entertaining.
Upgrading character homes is also common across the region. Home renovations allow owners to retain much of the charm of their villa or art deco home but increase enjoyment by modernising the layout, fittings, and fixtures. Updating heavy use areas such as bathrooms and kitchens can transform the look and feel of your living space, while new windows and insulation can dramatically increase your level of comfort year round.
Sheltered outdoor living areas, extensions, and garage conversions are also popular renovation ideas for families who want more space but don’t want to leave a home and neighbourhood they enjoy. 
No matter what your needs are, our local Renovation Consultants can help you with ideas, design, and concepts to deliver a renovation tailored to your style and budget.
