Love where you live, but wish your home worked better for you? A renovation can give you more space, improve an awkward layout, or update the rooms you use every day.

Refresh Renovations Hawke’s Bay helps homeowners plan and manage renovations of all sizes. Whether you’re updating a kitchen, opening up your living areas, or transforming much of your home, your local Renovation Consultant will guide the project from the first conversation through to completion.

Renovate your home around the way you live

The best renovation starts with understanding what isn’t working. Perhaps your family needs another room, your kitchen feels cut off from the living area, or you’d like to make better use of your outdoor space.

The Hawke’s Bay team can help with:

• Full home renovations
• Kitchen renovations
• Bathroom renovations
• Open-plan renovations
• Home extensions and additions
• Garage and basement conversions
• Indoor-outdoor living improvements
• Painting, flooring, lighting, plumbing, and electrical work
• Design, project management, and any required consent applications

Your renovation can be planned around the parts of your home you value most, whether that means keeping the character of an older property or making a more modern home easier to use.

One point of contact throughout your renovation

Coordinating designers, builders, trades, materials, and approvals can take a lot of time. With Refresh, your Renovation Consultant is your main point of contact and manages the details across the project.

You’ll begin by discussing your ideas, priorities, and budget. From there, the team develops a design and works through the plans and costs before construction starts. During the build, your consultant coordinates the trades and keeps you updated on progress.

Renovation ideas for Hawke’s Bay homes

Hawke’s Bay has a wide range of homes, from character properties to newer family houses and coastal retreats. The right renovation will depend on your home and what you want to get from it.

Some homeowners want to connect the kitchen and living areas or add doors that open onto a deck or patio. Others want to update a bathroom, create more usable space, or improve the comfort of an older home while keeping the details that give it character.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a home renovation cost in Hawke’s Bay?

Costs depend on the size and complexity of the project. Refreshing one room will have a different budget from changing the layout of a home, adding space, or carrying out structural work. Your Renovation Consultant can help you explore options that fit your priorities and prepare costs for your specific project.

Do I need consent to renovate my home?

That depends on the work you’re planning. Changes to a home’s structure, an extension, or some other building work may require consent, while many cosmetic updates do not. Your Renovation Consultant can help establish the requirements for your project and coordinate any necessary applications.

Do you renovate homes in Napier and Hastings?

Yes. Refresh Renovations works with homeowners in Napier, Hastings, Havelock North, and across the wider Hawke’s Bay region.

The team’s friendly approach wasn’t just about meeting expectations but consistently going above and beyond.
