When you think of home renovations in Christchurch, it’s about a whole lot more than breaking out the paint and swapping out a few things. It’s not just about opening a storefront — it’s about reimagining your space so that you can enjoy and work in and be happier with your home.

When you think of home renovations in Christchurch, it’s about far more than a coat of paint or a few quick swaps. It’s about reimagining your space so that you can truly enjoy, live, and work in it — and love your home even more.

What is a Home Renovation?

Home improvement refers to enhancing or modifying your house. It might be something small, like updating fixtures and adding a fresh coat of paint, or something larger — such as a kitchen remodel, bathroom upgrade, or even a full home restoration.

Many Christchurch homeowners renovate to:

• Preserve the charm of an older home while adding modern comfort.
• Create a family-friendly space that’s easy to live in.
• Add value through premium finishes and craftsmanship.
• Design a home that feels uniquely their own.

Think of it like a way to breathe new life into your home and make it more reflective of how you actually live.

In What Order Do You Renovate a House of Up to 90k?

One of the questions we get asked most often is: “OK, but where should I start?” If you don’t know the correct sequence, a renovation project can feel overwhelming at times.

Here’s a simple step-by-step approach:

1. Plan & Design – Work with a renovation builder on planning your dream.
2. Your Budget – It will help you out, yes, so set a limit. This guides the choice of fixtures, fittings, and finishes.
3. Work with Structure First – Start moving or shoring up walls early, since it’s the basis for your renovation.
4. Services & Trades – Plumbers and electrical need to be final before plastering, tiling, and or painting.
5. Kitchens & Bathrooms – These are next in line, including plumbing, cabinetry, and trades.
6. Floors and Paint – Once you get the dirty work out of the way, it’s all about surfacing and pulling the look together.
7. Fixtures & Finishing Touches – Light fittings, taps, handles, and finishing touches are added to complete the renovation.

The order serves as an extra set of eyes in double-checking all choices before you make any costly mistakes or run into snags in the process.

How Much Should You Pay for Remodeling?

Fees are based on the volume of work and finishes. In Christchurch, here is a very general idea:

• Bathroom Renovation — Starting around $20,000 for a basic upgrade; more if you want fancy fixtures or a custom design.
• Kitchen Remodel — Typically between $30,000 and $60,000+, depending on size, cabinetry, and appliances.
• Full House Renovation — Usually begins at $100,000 and up.

The key is to engage a renovation builder who can give you an itemised quote, rather than an estimate. We pride ourselves on being up-front about what you pay for – no surprises here.

Reasons to Work with a Local Christchurch Renovation Builder

Renovating is about more than hiring a tradesperson. It’s the difference of working with a builder who:

• Specialising in renovations and familiar with the issues of Christchurch's older homes.
• Brings together craftsmen for plumbing, electrical, tiling, and more.
• Shows high-quality work at every level.
• Leads you through the renovation process so you don’t have to guess.

We are seasoned pros at what does (and doesn’t) work in a Christchurch home – whether your style is heaps of heaps-of-character villa or slick modern build – and we’ve taken all the issues that will affect your renovation into account.

Renovating Kitchen: The Heart of Your Home

The kitchen is generally one of the first places homeowners want to remodel. It is where families gather, entertain, and make memories. Smart remodeling focuses on:

• Better storage solutions.
• Friendly designs that make cooking fun.
• Timeless fixtures and finishes.

With the right design, your kitchen can be used to cook as well as a part of your family.

Bathroom Renovations: Comfort Meets Style

A bathroom renovation isn’t as major an undertaking as a whole house, but it can have just as big an impact on your daily life. Whether you’re replacing tiles or adding new fixtures, a refreshed bathroom adds more than just comfort to your home.

Some of the custom touches Christchurch home owners are choosing are:

• Walk-in showers.
• Quality fittings that endure.
• Functional, family-friendly layouts.
