Client

Guru and Neeta

Guru and Neeta were looking for a luxurious yet modern feel for their kitchen when they decided to renovate. They also loved entertaining and wanted a space which would have all the modern amenities and a spacious area where guests could comfortably mingle. There were however several roadblocks to achieve what they had in mind.

Their previous living space included an open plan lounge and dining with a balcony surrounding the area. A door from the lounge however lead to a separate kitchen. The fact that the kitchen was a separate room made their entertaining space smaller and isolated the person cooking.

They contacted a few companies and decided to go with us because of their conversation with our project Manager Jin. Their project needed someone with a creative flair and who could give them practical yet creative suggestions for their kitchen renovation. They instantly hit it off with Jin which we believe is important as the project manager is vital for a renovation.

A project manager is your only point of contact during a renovation. He helps you make decisions and is key in resolving problems for the duration of your project. Guru found that his experience with Jin was one of teamwork. “Jin was great! He helped us in choosing everything for the kitchen. We did it together. He has become one of us now” adds Guru about his experience with Jin.

The result of Guru and Neeta’s renovation boasted a spacious area with an open plan living, kitchen and dining. The real showstopper however was the addition of a bar in the lounge area which carried a similar theme as the kitchen in terms of design and colour scheme.

Custom Designed & Renovated
Kitchen

Design and architecture Process:

  • All walls separating the living areas from the kitchen were demolished to create a large open space
  • All previous kitchen cabinetry, benchtops and flooring was removed.
  • Black, White and Gold were used as a recurring theme to add a touch of luxury to the area.

Benchtops and Cabinets:

  • We custom built black matte finish cabinets and shelves.
  • White was chosen for the benchtop for two main reasons. First being that it contrasts well with black and the second being that we wanted to give the appearance of space. We custom built the benchtop with white engineered stone.
  • The engineered stone for the benchtops was made to look like marble to add to the luxury feel.

We are very pleased with our bathroom reno by Superior Renovations! Jacob, Cici and the team always kept us up to date, were always friendly to deal with and finished ahead of schedule. Most importantly we are very happy with the quality of the work.
Simon Redpath
We have been working with Superior Renovations as a supplier now for over three years. In that time we have found the team to be very professional and well organised. Which is a welcome relief in this industry! Just recently we have become their sole supplier for portaloos, which recognises the collaboration we have forged over these three years.

In particular, Leanne and Elaine set a very high standard of communication and flexibility. This is of vital importance when scheduling deliveries and pickups with us, however, they understand not everything can be done at once and are willing to work with us for the best (supplier/contractor/client) outcome.

I would imagine this ethos would flow directly through to all their contracted renovation work. A pleasure to work with!
Dylan Hawkins
We’ve been supplying portaloos to Superior Renovations across a range of their projects, and they’ve consistently been one of the easiest, most professional teams we work with. Their communication is clear and timely, their organisation on site is excellent, and their crew always treat our gear and our team with respect.

In an industry where coordination makes or breaks a job, it’s refreshing to work with a company that genuinely runs things smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend Superior Renovations - Top team with a solid crew behind them — always a pleasure to deal with.

A very reliable supplier – we’ve been working with them for three years now, and they have never let us down. Well done to the team.
Jeff Ren
Excellent company to work with:)
Sam McCool
We have been working with these guys for the past 4 years and find them an awesome company to work with, very efficient and organised. I highly recommend!
Word True
Finding someone reliable for renovations has always been the most stressful thing for us. In the past, we had several painful renovation experiences—money was spent but the problems were never truly solved, and things often ended up worse than before. We really didn’t know where to find a trustworthy renovation company.

For more than ten years, our wish had been to renovate our bathroom, laundry, and toilet, so that we could finally enjoy a comfortable and functional living environment. Just when we were about to give up, we came across Superior Renovations online. We quickly made an appointment with Cici, who designed and provided us with a quote.

Throughout the whole process, I was deeply impressed by the professionalism of Superior Renovations. What stood out most was that they always delivered on their promises—everything agreed upon was completed on time. This built a relationship of trust and reliability. Up until completion, I was completely satisfied with their dedication and the quality of their workmanship.

During the renovation, we encountered some of the challenges that often come with older houses, but Cici and her team helped us resolve the discomforts we had been living with for years. We are truly grateful to the construction team.

Some say renovations are easy if you just have money, but I believe the most important thing is finding a trustworthy team that keeps their word, values quality, and cares about the customer’s experience.

Because of this renovation experience, we can now confidently plan our next project—the kitchen—and Superior Renovations will definitely be our first choice. We strongly recommend them.

Finally, I want to thank Cici and the team for helping us fulfill our dream.

neko rider
We’re very happy with the renovation work done by the team. It’s rare for renovation projects to finish on time, but they committed to completing ours before the Easter holiday—and they delivered! Our project manager, Jacob, worked incredibly hard (even physically! 😄) to make it happen.

I admit I might not have been the easiest client—I was particular about details like colours, tile placement, and exactly where the hand basin bowl should sit on the bench. But they listened, took it all on board, and got it done. Thank you, Jacob!
I’ll definitely bring you another challenge in the future. 😉
Vilma Arcos
Thanks Superior Renovations for doing our house, it definitely looks a lot better now! Special thanks goes to Alison and Jacob for their excellent effort and good manners in handling the construction process, it wasn't easy but with them around it definitely became easier to handle. Cheers🥂
F J Bandukwala
Absolutely thrilled with the outcome of our renovation of two bathrooms and kitchen in a double level home. Kevin and his entire team were an absolute pleasure to work with from the get-go. Every minor detail was attended to, and all our requests were accommodated. Cyrus deserves a special mention as under his watchful eye and expertise, nothing could go wrong.
Jacquie
I have recently finished a renovation in our 1930’s bungalow, updating the original (and I do mean original) kitchen and bathroom. Plus creating a new laundry and removing three fireplaces which created two new spaces including an office. From the initial appointment with Alison who came over and then provided drawings and a quotation, to the work with Frank, our project manager and the team, this has been a wonderful renovation experience. I would have described myself as a nervous-renovator prior to doing this, as I had never done a renovation before, but Frank, Alison, Sunny and all the team have worked so tirelessly and generously to create spaces that we love. Superior’s care in managing the project has meant that we have come away with much more than we originally sought to achieve and without the stress I hear others lament about when they renovate. I would recommend Frank, Alison, Sunny and the team at Superior Renovations wholeheartedly.
Ike Harris
We engaged with three companies to completely renovate our downstairs and ensuite bathrooms. We elected to go with Superior Renovations as they provided us with a fixed price and specific timeline to complete the project (which two other companies could not do), and we were absolutely delighted with the end result. We love everything from the floor and wall tiles to the heated towel rails and from the LCD mirrors to the underfloor heating and soft close lids. We especially loved replacing the old tub in our ensuite with a walk-in shower.

The entire process went incredibly smoothly, with the project being completed on budget and ahead of schedule. From the initial design phase to the final touches, nothing was too much trouble for the team. Superior Renovations conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism, ensuring every detail was perfect.

Frank (Project Manager) and the team did such an amazing job. Totally professional outfit, top notch communication, all tradies were courteous, polite and respectful. Alex (Builder) was especially knowledgeable and offered great solutions as minor issues unfolded. Each stage of the renovation was completed on the day it was scheduled. The crew were always on time and mindful of our work from home arrangements. And I was also impressed with the floor protection that was laid out on the first day.

Through no fault of Superior, we did encounter a major, unforeseen setback that delayed our renovation on the downstairs bathroom. Superior were patient with us while we sourced specialists to remedy the issue. But once that was all sorted, Frank and the team picked up the baton and charged ahead to the finish line, delivering two beautifully ‘superior’ bathrooms. We also experienced a minor electrical issue post-build. And even though it was unrelated to their renovation work, Frank promptly dispatched an electrician who quickly fixed the problem. Talk about above and beyond!

In summary, we highly recommend Superior Renovations for anyone looking to undertake bathroom renovations in their home. We’re already talking about renovating the kitchen next and we’re so confident in Superior Renovations that we will most certainly be engaging with them to complete the task.

A huge thank you to Frank, Alex and all the wonderful team at Superior Renovations:)

Superior Renovations did an amazing job we would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a high quality outcome. Our Project Manager Jacob was amazing, taking care of any minor adjustments we wanted, nothing was too much trouble.
Melanie Whittaker
Absolutely love my new ensuite bathroom. Superior Renovations made the process so enjoyable, I'm truly delighted with the transformation from an old tired room to modern functionality.
Jacob led a wonderful team of professionals who were considerate and efficient. He answered any query with reassurance and patience.
I'm now looking at engaging them again for my main bathroom because I'm not fearful of renovating anymore and confident I'll get a superior outcome. They definitely lived up to their name!
Carolina Guerra
Superior Renovations transformed our bathroom, and we couldn’t be happier. Cici, Jacob, Alex, and Ray were a fantastic team (Ray, our dog, is going to miss you). They tackled our old house’s quirks with creativity and attention to detail. We were especially impressed that they stayed within budget, even with a few surprises along the way. We’d definitely choose Superior Renovations again and highly recommend them.
Regina Cho
Thanks Sunny, Jacob and the team for a great renovation. We had 2 bathrooms, the laundry room and front door re-done and very pleased with the results.
