Top Rated Home Renovation Specialists in Manawatu & Palmerston North

Manawatu is one of New Zealand's most exciting renovation markets right now. Property values are climbing, and whether you're looking to add value before selling or turn a dated house into your dream home, the timing has never been better to invest in your property.

Refresh Renovations is here to make that process easy.

Why choose Refresh Renovations?

Refresh has delivered over 1,000 high-quality renovations across New Zealand and beyond. What makes us different is our proven process: every project is carefully managed from first consultation through to final handover, with a fixed quote agreed before any work begins.

Your local Manawatu consultant Wayne Gordon will be your single point of contact throughout. From initial design and council consents to the finished result, Wayne and his team handle everything - so you can focus on the exciting part.

What we do

Refresh Manawatu offers a full range of renovation and building services, including:

Kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, house extensions, additions and alterations, garage conversions, recladding, re-gibbing, home office builds, consent lodging and end-to-end project management.

Whatever you have in mind, we can help bring it to life.

Do I need council consent?

It depends on the scope of work. Smaller cosmetic projects often don't require consent, but larger renovations and extensions typically need both a building consent and resource consent. If your home is a heritage building, additional permissions may apply through Heritage New Zealand.

Wayne and his team work closely with the local council and can manage all consent applications on your behalf.

How much will my renovation cost?

Every project is different, but as a rough guide:

  • Kitchen renovation: $20,000 – $100,000+
  • Bathroom renovation: $20,000 – $50,000+
  • Same-level house extension: $60,000 – $200,000+

The best way to get an accurate figure is to book a free consultation. Refresh works to your budget from the start, with no surprises.

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!

Bring your dream home renovation to life

Our expert team can manage all aspects of your Full Home Renovation project from planning to build and everything in between
