Home Restoration Services in Whangaparaoa, Auckland

“If you want quality and peace of mind with your project look no further. Tim's team have got you covered. Our plan was to open-up our 1950s state home with living and dining areas opening into a deck. With our building plans and consent we consulted with Tim. First impression was he knows his craft back to front. He spotted loopholes in the plan and questioned items which other building companies didn't notice when we were canvassing the right building team for us. From there the project went smoothly with a few bumps which Tim's team addressed without raising any concerns on our part. The attention to detail is spot on. The team is dedicated and takes pride in the product they produce at the end of the day. They are very professional and at the same time treated us as family. Communication is superb. They would also go an extra mile to fulfill your wish list. Tim is very hands on. Our renovation journey with Cain Built was very satisfying and we would undoubtedly recommend them and should we have another project we would definitely get them on board. Three cheers to Tim and his awesome team. Thank you so much for making our dream a reality. Donna & Martin”

“Refresh were given the job of dragging a kicking and screaming 1970's brick and tile home into the 21st century. They did this, and the house now looks amazing! The renovation essentially meant a complete makeover and this was accomplished over a 3 month period. Slightly over budget, principally electrical work, but as a percentage of the total spend, only 2%. Dominic and Rebecca were ever the professionals, keeping everything on track with tradesmen and the council. Rebecca's background as a designer certainly helped and Dominic's control of the stress alleviated a lot of headaches. To Dan the builder man and his guys, well done! Nothing was ever a problem with his crew.”

“As a homeowner for 33 years, I've had my fair share of local builders, companies and trades people attending to various house repairs on my house. Yet: the customer services and liaison provided by Rob McEwan at Refresh Renovations, Rodney surpasses them all. With Rob's committment to providing excellent service, he confidently guided a fantastic team of builders to replace rotten floorboards in two areas caused by leaks, replace a rotten interior wall, organise a gib stopper, and organise new carpet. I didn't have to do a thing: very grateful Rob had the reins and he competently steered the ship. For each of these tasks, at every developing stage, he kept me in the loop, so I rate his communication skills very highly. His attention to detail where nothing was too much bother for him; will stay in my mind for a long time. Five Stars, absolutely.”

“We have now completed two projects with Robin O'Donnell architects, one a renovation of a 1930s home and then recently a new build on a small urban site. On both occasions we have thoroughly enjoyed the process and have the utmost respect for Robin and his Team. They listened carefully to our brief and then interpreted that into two homes that were above our expectations. I think a particular strength of Robin is creating wonderful spaces that inter link but still retain their individuality. Communication and efficency are great, the office also took on the project management of these two homes. Both homes have been a pleasure to live in.”

“A reclad project is a job that few home-owners really want to undertake. Steve and his team were a delight to work with and transformed our house into a home we are really proud of. We get regular comments on how well the finished job looks. Steve saw the tricky issues long before we did and was able to give us appropriate recommendations for those unforeseen problems. Steve's recommendations on sub-trades, material selection and his ability to talk to us at our level made us feel that our input was always welcome. We are looking forward to working with Steve on our next project soon! Anyone that needs an honest, reliable master craftsman in charge of their project need look no further.”

“Contract was for a fixed price house/land package 3bdrm 1bthrm. House was built in great time to a great standard. They were very helpful and gave us great advice to help us stay within budget so we could meet the requirements of KiwiSaver HomeStart Grant”

“I had the great pleasure of working with Michael at the EQC. He was absolutely brilliant to work with on all fronts. Very conscientious and hard working we became a great team and even better friends. As a former NZ Policeman, I value integrity and work ethic, Mike has this in spades. He is very understated at times but I can assure you he is very intelligent and capable. In my view, he would be an asset to any organisation. He is a class act as a human being and as such, I proudly stand by him in any of his endeavors. Justin Le Lievre Ph 022 6281 306 justinl@pb.co.nz”

“Kate was highly recommended to us by some friends so we contacted her to redesign the interior / exterior of our house. We had a specific design brief and asked Kate to bring her ideas to design our dream home. Kate was very friendly and helpful and we are very happy with what she provided us. We can't wait to put it in place now :)”

“Alpha 1 built our beautiful home 3 years ago and we will be leaving in a box, we absolutely love it! The architect's plan was very complex but the actual build was carried out so professionally that stress was kept to a minimum. Paul met us weekly with updates so any issues arising were resolved immediately. We would recommend Alpha 1 to anyone planning a major renovation or new build.”

“Four Walls Architecture designed a large contemporary home for us on a site situated in Westmere, Auckland. They carried out the conceptual design work, assisted with the resource consent application and completed the detailed design and building consent application. Our brief was quite specific in regards to the general look we were trying to achieve, the size and layout of the home, the use of low maintenance materials and a high degree of energy efficiency. The design process was a very pleasant experience and Four Walls was always open to discussing any ideas or opinions we had and incorporating them into the design accordingly. The home is currently being built and it is great seeing how the ideas are being transformed from plans and computer models to a physical form. The way it is turning out has exceeded our expectations in a number of ways and it is truly turning out to be our dream home! Four Walls has continued to be very helpful and provide assistance to both us and the builder in a timely manner during the building process. I have already recommended them to another family member who is using them for an extensive renovation in Herne Bay and would certainly not hesitate recommending them to anyone else, or to use them again.”
