RENOVATIONS

Renovations that respect what's already there.

Renovating older Porirua and Wellington homes — kitchens, bathrooms and full-floor reworks, sympathetic where it matters, sharper where it counts.

ABOUT RENOVATIONS

How we run a renovation.

Most of our renos happen with the family still in the house, so we plan the disruption tightly. Strip-out happens in one concentrated week, dust is contained with proper screens, and services are reconnected on a schedule you know in advance.
We work on a lot of older Porirua and Wellington stock — 1950s state houses, 1970s weatherboard, mid-century brick. They each have their quirks. We allow for them in the quote rather than springing them on you mid-build.

Why choose us

Three decades of renovation mastery.

Experience

30+ years specializing in older NZ homes. We’ve learned what works, what fails, and how to plan for it.

Craftsmanship

Tile setting, cabinetry, joinery and plastering done by the same skilled teams we’ve worked with for a decade or more.

Design

We work with your designer or sketch options ourselves. Layout, light and storage usually drive exceptional results.
Tiled bathroom renovation by Trust Builders — frameless glass shower, timber vanity, full waterproofing

BATHROOM RENOVATIONS

Bathrooms detailed for a wet country.

Full waterproofing to the New Zealand Building Code, tile setting that lines through, plumbing and electrical reworked rather than patched, ventilation sized properly. Heated floors and frameless glass if you want them, niche shelving where it makes sense, lighting on circuits you'll actually use.

  • Wet-area waterproofing signed off first inspection
  • Tiling, fixtures, joinery, lighting handled by us
  • Ducted ventilation, not just an extract fan
Kitchen renovation by Trust Builders — open layout, ducted rangehood, integrated appliances

KITCHEN RENOVATIONS

Kitchens that change how the house works.

A kitchen reno is rarely just a kitchen — it's usually opening the room to the dining and living, sorting out the flow, and pulling up forty-year-old wiring. Bench, cabinetry, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, flooring, all done by one team on one programme.
  • Layout reconfigurations — walls, beams, structural work
  • Cabinetry by joiners we've worked with for 15+ years
  • Range hood ducted to outside, not just recirculated
