Renovation Specialists in Orakei

Orakei is one of Auckland's most desirable suburbs, offering a mix of architecturally designed homes, luxury waterfront properties, renovated villas, and established family homes. Renovation projects here often focus on enhancing views, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living, improving layouts, and delivering high-quality finishes that complement the home's character.

Whether you're planning a complete renovation or upgrading a specific area of your home, our team can tailor a solution to suit your property, lifestyle, and budget.

Our Orakei Renovation Services

Full Home Renovations

Transform your entire home with a carefully planned renovation that improves functionality, comfort, and long-term value. From reconfiguring layouts to complete interior and exterior upgrades, we manage every aspect of the project.

Kitchen Renovations

Create a kitchen that's both practical and beautifully designed. Whether you're after a contemporary entertainer's kitchen or a timeless family space, we coordinate the design, cabinetry, appliances, lighting, and installation.

Bathroom Renovations

Our team delivers bathroom renovations that combine functionality with quality finishes. From luxurious ensuites to family bathrooms and powder rooms, we manage the project from demolition through to completion.

Home Extensions

Need additional space? A home extension can provide extra bedrooms, larger living areas, or a dedicated home office while allowing you to stay in the suburb you love.

Open-Plan Living Renovations

Many older Orakei homes can benefit from opening up kitchens, dining areas, and living spaces to create better flow, improved natural light, and stronger connections to outdoor entertaining areas.

Villa and Character Home Renovations

Character homes require thoughtful planning to preserve original features while introducing modern layouts, insulation, and contemporary living spaces. We can help balance heritage charm with modern functionality.

Interior Renovations

From flooring and lighting through to bespoke cabinetry, painting, and storage solutions, we can modernise individual rooms or your entire home's interior.

Outdoor Living

Whether you're building a new deck, upgrading your outdoor entertaining area, or creating better access to your garden or pool, we can help create outdoor spaces that complement your home.

A Complete Design and Build Service

Renovations involve far more than construction. Our process brings together designers, builders, engineers, suppliers, and council requirements under one coordinated project.

Your renovation specialist manages:

  • Initial consultation
  • Design and planning
  • Budget development
  • Building consent requirements
  • Trades and construction
  • Scheduling and communication
  • Quality control
  • Project completion

Renovating Homes in Orakei

Many Orakei homeowners choose to renovate rather than relocate, allowing them to maximise their property's location and long-term value.

Whether your property overlooks the harbour or sits on a quiet residential street, our team can develop a renovation solution that works for your home.

Your Style,
Your Budget,
Our Expertise

Refresh®’s process supports a bespoke design and build: a renovation tailored to your lifestyle requirements and taste. Your local Full Home Renovation renovation consultant will manage every aspect for you - working to keep everything on track.

Step 1

Initial Consultation

The first thing your Full Home Renovation renovation consultant will want to know is what it is that you want to achieve through your home renovation. In this initial consultation, you can throw all of your ideas on the table - your consultant will then tailor them to your property and budget.

Step 2

Scoping and Feasibility

With a clear understanding of your renovation goals, your Full Home Renovation consultant can arrange for an architectural concept to be drawn up. This allows your Full Home Renovation consultant to assess whether or not your ideas are feasible, and allows you to point out any changes you would like in the design - before any work begins.

Step 3

Detailed Planning and Costing

Next, working drawings will be developed. These will take into account the engineering, structural, design and aesthetic decisions you have made. If you would like to make any further changes, now is the time to do so. From there, your Full Home Renovation consultant will present you with a fixed-quote as well as a contract.

Step 4

Build Stage

Finally, you get to witness your project transition from the page to your property! Every aspect of the build will be managed for you, allowing you to carry on with your everyday life. Your Full Home Renovation consultant will do everything in their power to keep your project on schedule so that it can be completed within a set timeframe and budget.

Step 5

Project Completion

The final stage is for your local Full Home Renovation consultant to ensure that all Council documentation is completed and you have the necessary Code of Compliance documentation. Congratulations – your renovation is complete!
