1. Superior Renovations

Website: https://superiorrenovations.co.nz/ 

Address: 16B Link Drive, Wairau Valley

Contact: 0800 199 888, ext. 2

Hours: Monday-Saturday 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

We like Superior Renovations because they have an in-house team of designers and project managers who stay with you from the first meeting to the final handover.

Part of their process is running a massive 147-point quality check during every stage of the build, ensuring no stone is left unturned. You can relax knowing the workmanship is tightly controlled using this system.

They’re truly reliable, as they take the stress out of managing multiple different trades yourself and ensure that the project still runs smoothly.

Plus, they offer a guaranteed fixed quote that’s itemised line by line, so you won’t get hit with unexpected costs.

One downside is that you must meet strict lending requirements to qualify for their 18-month interest-free financing perk.

Pleasant and professional renovation experience

As I said to my work colleagues ‘I have just had the most pleasant experience’.  When they realised it was with renovations at home they were shocked – ‘unheard of’ I was told.

Everything went to plan – timing, project management, costs, etc, etc.  Neil communicated with me daily and made my whole bathroom renovation a pleasure.

The best decision I made was choosing Superior Renovations.

Thank you Kevin for our initial connection and for passing me on to Neil to manage the whole process.

Excellent work and great communication

Used Superior for a kitchen and bathroom renovation last year. They did an excellent job updating both rooms, communication was excellent ongoing tjrough the project, they coordinated all the tradies, synchronized so there was little downtime, and it all worked exactly as planned and on budget. Was really glad we chose Superior Renovations and plan to use again for our entrance way at some stage.

Customer Reviews

Professional project management and communication

We had a beautiful renovation of our kitchen, living area, bathroom and ensuite by Maree from Refresh Renovations in Auckland Central.   Maree was an excellent project manager, with prompt communication and great attention to detail.  Did a great job following up with suppliers, contractors and resolving any problems.  We are very happy and would use Refresh again for any future renovations.  We love our new space.

Efficient exterior renovation experience

Refresh Auckland recently did an exterior renovation on our two-storey wood and brick house. Maree was a delight to work with – no question was too hard or too stupid. She organised everything for us, using friendly and skilled tradespeople. The way Refresh works gave us certainty over the costs as everything was agreed up front. We recommend them without hesitation.

3. The Renovation Team Ltd

Website: https://therenovationteam.co.nz/ 

Address: 4/20 Augustus Terrace, Parnell

Contact: 021 230 5511 | [email protected] 

Hours: Monday-Friday 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM | Saturday 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM

The Renovation Team stands out for their awesome online management platform, allowing you to view site photos and track your schedule remotely.

They start by giving you a detailed scope of work with a fixed price and duration right out of the gate. Honestly, this central system brings a smoother coordination process, so much so that most clients we spoke with praised it.

Plus, their dedicated project manager coordinates with everything, from all the tradespeople to the annoying council building permits.

However, they strongly advise against living at home during the build. Should you choose to stay on-site, the renovation will take longer due to their daily safety pack-down protocols. 

Customer Reviews

4. Reliable Renovations

Website: https://reliablerenovations.co.nz/ 

Areas Served: Auckland

Contact: 022 139 5722 | [email protected] 

Hours: Monday-Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Reliable Renovations conveniently acts as a complete design-build setup, handling all your needed tradespeople under one roof. In fact. the owner serves as your direct contact so you won’t get passed around from person to person.

Their services are open for kitchen, bathroom, and whole home renovations, making them ideal for small and complete overhauls.

Plus, they make the process smooth for clients. For example, they can arrange a portable toilet and shower if your only bathroom is under renovation.

They also back every bit of their building work with a solid 10-year guarantee through the Licensed Building Practitioner scheme. This brings peace of mind, knowing that your investment is protected.

However, their projects do have a fairly high starting cost. For example, their bathroom remodels start at $18,000, which might push away those looking for a cheap cosmetic fix.

Customer Reviews

Sleek and modern bathroom transformation

Kelly and his team from Reliable Renovations recently transformed our 1980’s bathroom to a sleek, modern and tranquil space. Kelly made the process really simple and easy for us, and his communication before the project and throughout the three weeks was outstanding. Small snags following the completion were dealt with in a timely manner. Overall the bathroom renovation went above our expectations, with a high quality finish.

Would highly recommend Kelly for anyone looking to renovate their bathrooms.

5. Budget Renovation

Website: https://budgetrenovation.co.nz/ 

Address: Unit-3/12 Neilpark Drive, East Tāmaki

Contact: 021 242 3246 | [email protected] 

Hours: Monday-Sunday 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM

With over 15 years of experience, Budget Renovation knows how to provide an end-to-end management solution. They handle every bit, from the first design phase right through to the final touches, resulting in tailored project timelines.

We also want to highlight their organised professionalism, as their local expertise allows them to work on tricky kitchen and bathroom layouts. 

Plus, they partner with major retail suppliers to keep their materials durable and affordable.

Speaking of affordable, they offer completely free upfront estimations to help you plan your budget.

But because they focus strongly on an economy-driven model, they might not be the best fit for luxury architectural work. 

Also, relying heavily on big-box stores can limit your choices if you want unique, handcrafted elements.

Customer Reviews
