Full home renovation of a dated home

Project Finish Date

October 2020

Our client bought this house and wanted to renovate before moving in as this was an old house which is mostly an issue with a lot of our clients. Our client had a set budget and wanted to make as many changes as she could to make it comfortable and modern to suit her lifestyle.

Our client wanted the renovation to be completed before she could move in but was temporarily living across the road from the house we were renovating. As a doctor she had a busy lifestyle and wanted to renovate with a company that could manage the entire process. She decided to get a few quotes before deciding as she had never renovated before and this was a very new arena for her.

She got a total of 6 quotes from renovation companies around Auckland but decided to go with us because of her interaction with Jimmy. While she was convinced about the expertise of all the renovation companies, she felt that Jimmy understood her needs a lot better.

“Jimmy was just so friendly and did not shut down any of my ideas. He was young and energetic and more willing to listen to me than a lot of other people I spoke to” said our client about her first interaction with Jimmy and the reason why she decided to go ahead with us.

We started this renovation in early August of 2020 which was just before the second COVID 19 lockdown in Auckland. This posed a few challenges for our teams as we had to work through a level 3 lockdown and had to put strict protocols in place to be able to complete the renovation within the timeframe.

Our client was living across the road from the house that we were renovating, and she was very happy about the dedication of the teams. When asked what she loved the most about her renovation she said “All I can say is that your teams were very hardworking. I would take my dogs for a walk in the mornings and evenings and they were always there working on the agreed schedule”.

The house did have its unique challenges as it had very high ceilings which had wallpaper on them. We had to put up scaffolding throughout the interiors to remove the wallpapers and repaint the entire house.

  • Internal scaffolding erected throughout the house
  • All wallpaper was removed
  • All the holes were fixed
  • Extensive plastering done
  • 1 undercoat and 2 top coats were applied

Flooring 

  • The entire house was carpeted
  • All carpets removed throughout the house
  • The staircase was re-carpeted
  • We tiled the living, dining, kitchen, hallway, entryway and all bedrooms with a tile that was made to look like Oak wood.

Custom Kitchen Design
+ Renovation

A wall was demolished between the dining room and kitchen to make it an open plan space. The old kitchen had laminate cabinets with drab brown accents. The kitchen was fully renovated with a contemporary design in mind. We could not go too modern as it did not match with the arched doors and windows that were featured throughout the house.

While we did use some modern elements like soft close cabinets, we decided not to incorporate a no handle set up as it did not complement the original architecture. Instead, we custom built the cabinets with MDF Melteca which was wrapped in Dezignatek Thermoform with a vintage pattern to give the cabinets a vintage look. We also installed dull black handles to give it a contemporary look.

What our Client had to say

When we had removed all previous flooring, we realised that the house was not level. We had to alter the quote to re-level my lounge but I trusted them completely. Whatever improvements they suggested were for my own benefit and there was never a question of just adding money as they went

All I can say is that your teams were very hardworking. I would take my dogs for a walk in the mornings and evenings and they were always there working on the agreed schedule

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.

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.

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:)

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!

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.

We engaged Superior Renovations to transform our 30-year old, tired looking and problematic bathroom into something world class - and wow! The end result is simply stunning. The team led by Frank did an absolutely fantastic job. This was our first major renovation project and the entire process was easy and hassle free. The team delivered on schedule, within budget and the quality of their work is outstanding. If you are considering renovating - do not go past these guys.

My wife and I are absolutely delighted with the team at Superior Renovations - and the "superior" job and experience they delivered for us in renovating our ensuite and main bathroom. We are so pleased we chose them for our renovation.Everyone from Cici the designer, and Frank our wonderful and attentive project manager, down to the team of guys doing the heavy lifting were a real pleasure to deal with. We were kept informed every step of the way and everything was done to a very high standard. Nothing seems too much trouble for your crew (in fact Frank even became quite good at running after and catching our dog when the naughty little boy escaped), and they even helped me out with a couple of small extras around the house at no additional cost.Their pricing was very fair - no hidden extras, and they are such hard workers! But I think what impressed me most was that everything they promised was done exactly on the day they said it would be done, and at the time they said it would be done. They were a very respectful, friendly team who obviously take immense pride in their work.Thank you Superior team! Recommend 100%

This place is excellent. The service is fantastic. Eunice was amazing. She is efficient, knowledgeable and professional. Their prices are excellent. We have chosen to go with them for an ensuite renovation.We have now had the pleasure of Superior completing our ensuite. It's a big WOW from us.Communication, professionalism, making sure they checked in with us about preferences, quality of workmanship, quality of materials are all 5 stars.They completed the job early. Payment structure was excellent. The staff were polite and respectful. If there was an issue it got sorted immediately. Follow-up was prompt. There was no lingering to tidy up loose ends. Rubbish taken away immediately. Full respect of our neighbours using a shared driveway with us. Finally Jacob our project manager was the best. He held the job together from beginning to end.To be honest...we were 'blown away' by how smoothly it all ran.
