Specialist Villa Renovations in Auckland

Why Villa Renovations Require Specialist Expertise
Many Auckland villas were built between 1880–1920 and present unique challenges:
- Native timber framing
- Uneven floors and settlement
- Limited insulation
- Outdated wiring and plumbing
- Heritage detailing and consent considerations
A standard builder approach isn’t enough. We ensure your renovation is structurally sound, compliant, and executed to a premium standard - while retaining features like timber floors, sash windows, ceiling roses and decorative fireplaces.
Modern Living Without Losing Character
The goal of a villa renovation isn’t to erase history - it’s to enhance it.
We focus on:
- Preserving street appeal
- Improving thermal comfort
- Maximising natural light
- Creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow
- Increasing long-term property value
We frequently complete villa renovations across Auckland Central suburbs including Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Mt Eden, Herne Bay, Kingsland, Epsom and Sandringham.
How Much Does a Villa Renovation Cost?
Our Auckland Central team has completed villa renovations ranging from $100,000 to $500,000+* depending on scope and complexity.
Key cost factors include:
- Structural repair work
- Extension size
- Level of finish
- Reconfiguration requirements
- Heritage or consent considerations
Older villas often require additional remedial work, which can affect budget. If you’re working within a defined investment range, your Renovation Consultant will help prioritise stages and develop a practical renovation plan aligned with your lifestyle and goals.
For an accurate estimate tailored to your project, we recommend booking a consultation.
