Character Home, Villa & Bungalow Renovation Specialists

Auckland Central is full of beautiful villas, 1920s bungalows, 1930s character homes, and classic 1960s–1970s houses - but many require thoughtful upgrades to meet modern living standards.

At Refresh Renovations Auckland Central, we specialise in old home renovations that retain charm while improving comfort, layout, and long-term value. Whether you're planning an old villa renovation, a 1920’s bungalow renovation, or a full renovation of an old home, our design-and-build team manages everything from concept to completion.

Renovating Old Homes in Auckland: Why It Requires Specialists

Older Auckland homes present unique challenges:

• Uneven floors and outdated framing
• Old wiring and plumbing
• Poor insulation and ventilation
• Dated layouts with closed-off rooms
• Weatherboard deterioration requiring recladding

Renovating an old house is very different from working on a modern build. It requires experience with:

• Heritage detailing
• Structural upgrades
• Building consent processes
• Recladding and weathertightness
• Matching new materials with original features

Our team understands how to modernise while preserving character.
