Full Home Renovation Specialists
At Refresh, our Renovation Consultants utilise our proven 5-step method to deliver fantastic home renovations.
Contact UsGet free renovation guideAfter a long day of dealing with everything life can throw at you, crossing your home’s threshold should feel as if you’re entering your sanctuary space. If not, it may be time to make some changes. Being a homeowner in Aotearoa doesn’t come easily but at Refresh, we want to help make sure it’s rewarding.
It’s no secret that older homes across New Zealand, be they character villas or heritage bungalows, come with a laundry list of problems: single glazed windows, poor insulation, and even hazardous issues such as asbestos. New builds tend to be constructed to higher standards than their predecessors; however, that can be paired with a lack of charm and personality.
No matter what problems plague your homeownership journey, we’re here to turn it around and create the home of your dreams. Whether that means creating an open-plan layout during a 70s brick house renovation or embedding your style into every corner of a more modern construction, we’ll get the job done with our expert Renovation Consultants leading the way.
How does Refresh help?
Having completed thousands of successful renovations, we know what it takes. Clear communication and thorough planning are at the core of our proven 5-step process. We know that to deliver large full house renovations on time and within budget, organisation is essential. Our Renovation Consultants utilise each of the five steps — briefing, concepting, costing, building, and delivery — to facilitate a stress-free and enjoyable experience for homeowners.
Homeowners can feel confident of a successful outcome, knowing a skilled Renovation Consultant is guiding their project. From start to finish, a Refresh Consultant will act as the single point of contact, bridging the gap between homeowners and contractors, keeping everyone on the same page to deliver a fantastic full house renovation on time and within budget.

Home Renovation Services
Many homeowners are choosing to renovate their existing home, rather than opting for the expense and hassle of buying and moving into another house. Retain those aspects you love about your home and create exciting new elements of your dream home — the best of both worlds.
Home Additions and Extensions
Whether you’re trying to accommodate a growing family or add value by optimising the available space, consider a house extension. You can add a garage, bedroom or an even an extra floor. Whatever the scope, our home renovation team can make it happen.
Kitchen Renovations
Renovating a cramped or dated kitchen makes meal preparation easier and entertaining more enjoyable. And that’s not to mention the capital value it adds to your home. Our team of experts will help you design the layout and source the very best materials and appliances.
Bathroom Renovations
Our expert designers will help you create a bathroom that combines style with the ultimate in functionality. What’s more, our design process lets you envision exactly how it will work. This helps you get the little things right that make the difference – whether it’s the height of the shower, the way the doors open or the position of the hand basin.
Why choose Refresh?
Online systems
Refresh’s innovative online systems keep everything running smoothly. Our project management systems keep all areas of your renovation organised, while our customer portal allows you to stay updated, wherever you may be.
Professional project management
It is your local project manager’s job to support you every step of the way. Your consultant will be your one point of contact throughout your renovation, keeping you updated and striving to exceed your renovation expectations. All you need to do is watch the progress and enjoy the result! learn more
Loft Conversions
With the limited space in homes these days, it’s no surprise that homeowners need to get creative to acquire more living space. But hey, instead of expanding sideways, have you thought about going upwards? Whether you want to build or convert one. Our renovation specialists are here to help your loft project go as smoothly as possible.
Basement and Cellar Excavations and Renovations
If there’s no existing basement or the existing one is not large enough, our team at Refresh can offer different solutions to suit your needs.
Granny Flats
Also known as Secondary Suites (or accessory dwelling units), Granny Flats and Guest Houses are the perfect choice for homeowners who wish to rent their extra space, create a bachelor pad or even provide a retreat for teenagers and retirees. Refresh has the expertise to ensure your guest house or granny flat looks fantastic and is delivered on time and on budget.
Open-Plan Renovation
Is it time to give your home some more breathing space? An open-plan renovation will free up this space - providing more light and giving your house a brand new feel. Maybe you want to enlarge your living spaces or open up a kitchen and dining area for better flow. Or perhaps you have a small or awkward space that would be better utilised when opened up.
Indoor-Outdoor Flow Renovations
Improving your indoor-outdoor flow will transform the way you live. Sometimes all the elements are there, but the layout needs to be improved. A new deck with french windows or bi-fold doors to give easier access, or simply creating a more usable patio area.
Re-Cladding And Repainting
As any real estate expert will tell you, first impressions count. A tired exterior significantly lowers the value of a house, even though the interior and location might be very appealing. That’s why many homeowners choose to reclad or repaint their home to modernise and add value.
Re-Roofing Services
The perfect roof for your home is more than just good looks and affordability. Environmental factors, materials, roof design, durability and maintenance requirements all need to be considered. If you want the very best outcome, for the best price, contact us. We pride ourselves on delivering the very best results for our customers. Using licensed building contractors is a priority for us.
Outdoor Renovations
We have house and landscape designers who can discuss all the options with you. Perhaps you’re looking for a new landscaping design and layout that will make maximum use of your garden area. Or maybe you want to adopt the hot trend and create an outdoor room. This will not only give you more living/entertaining space, it will also add value to your home.
HVAC Solutions
Are you spending more than is necessary to keep your home warm? It’s not surprising that more households are looking to upgrade and install more efficient Home Heating and Air Conditioning systems. They create a more comfortable and healthier home to live in, reduce your ongoing energy costs and add value for resale.
Home Heating
If your home doesn’t have good insulation, winter is probably not as cosy as it could be. Or you’re spending more than you should keep your home warm. So it’s not surprising that more households are looking to upgrade and install more efficient home heating systems. They create a warmer, healthier home to live in, reduce your ongoing energy costs and add value for resale.
Architectural Design and Building
Details make the difference. Get them right from the beginning with the help of an architectural designer who will create a plan in which function, space, and ambience work seamlessly together. The team at Refresh can help improve the day-to-day function of your home with an excellent architectural design and stress-free building experience.
Air Conditioning
From window orientation and size, triple glazing, and air conditioning to ceiling fans, programmable controls and shaded sails, we can find the perfect solution for cooling down your home. Our experts suggest adding permanent outdoor living areas to the best-suited side of your home with moveable solutions like louvred roofs, retractable awnings and external shutters.
After a long day of dealing with everything life can throw at you, crossing your home’s threshold should feel as if you’re entering your sanctuary space. If not, it may be time to make some changes. Being a homeowner in Aotearoa doesn’t come easily but at Refresh, we want to help make sure it’s rewarding.

A smoother renovation journey
Our 5-step process was designed to ensure that all Refresh projects, even large-scale full house transformations, are delivered on time and within budget.
Step 1
Briefing / Initial Consultation
Whether you’re full of ideas or lacking inspiration, this is a chance for you to get on the same page with your Renovation Consultant. You’ll discuss your goals, budget, and ideal timeline at this early stage in the process to make it easier to manage expectations for your project. Taking on a full house renovation is an exciting opportunity that needs a solid foundation to be successful, so tell us everything! From two extra bedrooms to bronze doorknobs, no idea is too big or small during the initial consultation.
Step 2
Concept and Feasibility
Now that you’ve discussed the big picture, your Renovation Consultant will arrange for concept designs to be drawn up to determine the feasibility of your project. These drawings allow you to see your ideas take shape and see what’s achievable. There’s still a lot of flexibility in this phase; maybe you’ll find wiggle room within your budget here to upgrade to luxury marble floors, or you may discover some things aren’t worth having.
Step 3
Working Drawings and Costing
Next, your concept drawings will be developed into working drawings, in which technical details such as architectural, structural, and other practical considerations will be addressed. While you’re always in control of your renovation, this is the last planning step before building begins, so it’s the most cost-effective time to make any final alterations. Your Renovation Consultant will work closely with you to ensure you’re confident in the plans. To close out this phase, they’ll provide you with a fixed quote so you know the entire house renovation cost before getting started.
Step 4
Build / Construction Stage
When building begins, you can finally see your dream take shape. The excellent support provided by your Renovation Consultant will continue through this phase as they coordinate trusted contractors and talented craftspeople, and source premium materials from preferred suppliers. They’ll also monitor the construction closely to ensure your project is delivered on time, within budget, and with limited disruptions so you can enjoy the fruits of a stress-free renovation.
Step 5
Your Finished Renovation
The final step before your Renovation Consultant officially hands over your transformed home is to ensure that all of the necessary documentation is in order. A Code of Compliance certificate deems your project compliant with any local building or council regulations. Once you have that, your full house renovation is complete!
