Design & Build Experts for Character Homes

Renovating a villa in Auckland requires more than standard building experience. It takes an understanding of heritage detailing, structural integrity, and how to modernise without compromising character.

At Refresh Renovations Auckland Central, we specialise in low-stress, high-quality villa renovations - transforming classic Auckland homes into beautifully functional modern spaces while preserving their architectural charm.

Whether your villa needs restoration, modernisation, or a thoughtfully designed extension, our team manages the entire design and build process from concept to completion.

Complete Villa Renovation Services

We provide end-to-end villa renovation solutions, including:

  • Full villa restorations & modernisations
  • Villa extensions and additions
  • Kitchen renovations
  • Bathroom renovations
  • Home improvements & reconfigurations
  • Energy-efficiency upgrades
  • Structural upgrades (repiling, re-levelling, insulation)
  • Electrical and plumbing upgrades
  • Painting, decorating & flooring installation
  • Full design & build project management

From architectural planning to final handover, we coordinate designers, engineers, builders and trades - giving you one point of contact throughout.

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  • Outdated wiring and plumbing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.

*Costs are rough estimates and subject to change based on project specifics.

Our Proven Renovation Process

We manage every stage through our structured renovation system:

  1. Initial consultation
  2. Concept and design development
  3. Detailed scope and pricing
  4. Council consents (if required)
  5. Full project management and build
  6. Quality assurance and handover

Whether your project requires an architect, specialist builder or interior designer, we arrange and oversee it all — reducing stress and ensuring a cohesive outcome.

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!

How do I renovate an Auckland villa while maintaining its character?

Auckland’s historic villas require careful renovation to preserve their original charm while modernizing functionality. Retaining period features like timber flooring, decorative ceilings, and sash windows while upgrading insulation, wiring, and plumbing is key.

Where can I find some villa renovation ideas?

If you are not sure of where to start with your villa renovation, we can help. A Refresh Renovations® Auckland Central Consultant can work with you to develop creative solutions that suit your personal taste, lifestyle and budget. However, if you’re just getting started, our Case Studies can also provide some helpful insights into various renovation projects.

How much will my villa renovation cost?

Our Auckland Central teams have carried out villa modernisations and restoration projects ranging from $100,000 - $500,000* in cost. An important thing to note when renovating old villas is that older homes tend to come with an additional amount of repair work - and this will add to costs. Another aspect to keep in mind is that you might not necessarily need to renovate every area of your home at once. If you are working within a limited budget, your Renovation Consultant will work with you to help you figure out your priorities and create a renovation plan that is practical to you and your lifestyle. For a cost estimate accurate to your ideas, please get in touch.
