Home Renovations in Ulladulla and Across the South Coast
Making an older house work better, without rebuilding it.
The Option Between Putting up With it and Moving
Most people think there are two choices. Live with the house the way it is, or spend a fortune extending it.
There's usually a third, and it costs a fraction of the second one.
Nine times out of ten the problem isn't floor space. It's that the back half of the house is dark, the kitchen is shut off from everywhere else, and the best part of the block is on the other side of a small door and a window.
Fixing that is a completely different job to adding rooms, and it costs a completely different amount of money.
On a recent job the layout was reconfigured to get a fourth bedroom out of the existing footprint. No extension, no extra square metres, same house.

Bringing older houses up to date generally
One Whole Project
Flooring, doors and a kitchen are three jobs people often do three years apart, and end up paying for three times over in disruption.
Done together, they work with each other. The floor runs through without a strip where the old kitchen used to stop. The doors sit right against the new floor level. The kitchen goes in once rather than being pulled about later when something else changes.
It's usually cheaper than doing them one at a time, and it's always less mess.
What it Costs
Same as everything else on our site, we're not putting a number on a page.
What moves it:
How much of the house is involved
Whether any walls or openings are changing, because that's a bigger job than it looks
What's under the existing floor, which nobody knows until it's up
The finishes and fittings you choose
Whether it's done in one go or in stages
Common Questions
-
A whole house renovation usually runs three to six months.
-
No. We don't hold a builder's licence, so we don't take on extensions. What we can often do is find the room inside the footprint you've already got. We've added a fourth bedroom to a house that way without touching the outside walls.
-
We bring in a cabinetmaker for the cabinetry and we organise the lot, so you're still only dealing with us.
-
Yes, and we'd rather you had one. Having a designer or architect on board makes the whole thing run better.
