Fully Renovating Home for a Growing Family, West Auckland

Project Finish Date

January 2020

A full home renovation with structural changes, making space and room for 3 generations to live with comfort and convenience. This home renovation carried out in Avondale came with its unique challenges. This was a family home that our client grew up in and was in the need of upgrading. It was an old house, there were problems with layout and space, it was outdated and lacked all the modern amenities of today.

Moreover, this home needed to accommodate three generations with each generation having its unique needs in terms of convenience, comfort and aesthetics. First there were the grandparents, second a young couple and lastly their 11-year-old twin daughters.

This renovation was managed by Kevin who managed more than 20 different trades for 7 months to turn an old family home into a modern home of comfort and convenience.

Problems

5 bedrooms but only 2 bathrooms between 2 couples and 2 children
Small living space, not enough for family gatherings
Minimal privacy for adults
House out-dated, family was choosing between moving or renovating

Solution

Adding another bathroom upstairs
Master en-suite for couple
Moving the kitchen to the other side of house, to create more living space
New storage in all rooms/ laundry
Upgrade electrical/plumbing
New Flooring
Fully renovate/upgrade the aethetics of house

Master Suite for the couple

The house had 3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 bathroom. We incorporated the bathroom upstairs into the master bedroom and created a walk-in wardrobe to make a nice master suite for the couple. This solution now allows the couple ample privacy and space which is necessary in a big household.

Adding an addition bathroom upstairs

The twin girls already had individual rooms upstairs but did not have a bathroom. As one of the bedrooms was much bigger than the other, we decided to divide one of the bedrooms into a small bedroom and an ensuite. This required consent as we had to install new waste pipes and plumbing to create a bathroom. The result of the above structural change meant that the girls now had two individual medium sized bedrooms and an ensuite to share.

Creating a larger living space

The previous design of the house included a small kitchen which opened into a small living. A corridor from the living space lead to a formal dining room. Hence, we decided to move the kitchen into the dining room, break the wall between the kitchen and living, and taking that space to create a large living space.

Incorporating the kitchen into the dining room also required consent from the council as we had to install new waste pipes and plumbing in a different area of the house.

Complete Renovation of the house – Aesthetics and Building work

The entire house was renovated by demolishing all previous flooring, fixtures, cabinets and scraping previous paint. Kevin managed an extensive range of trades in order to renovate this house in 7 months. He managed our plumbers, electricians, suppliers, manufacturers, tilers, grouters, installers, painters, designers and architects for the duration of the project. He was the sole point of contact for the clients. The family had moved out owing to it being an extensive project.

General theme and design

The general colour theme used was neutrals, beige and whites. This was to create an illusion of space as the rooms in the house were mostly medium to small sized. We only chose easy to clean materials as this was a busy household with children.

Bathroom Renovations (2 bathrooms renovated, and 1 bathroom created)

All previous fittings, fixtures, vanity, tiles, flooring, showers, and tubs were removed.
Underlay was laid in all three bathrooms
Waterproofing was done for the walls and floors.
All damaged GIB was removed and new GIB fittings done
Glossy White and grey designer tiles installed throughout the floors and walls.
Light plastering and Painting done for all bathrooms
New Vanity, Toilet, and showers installed in the all bathrooms. A tub also installed in the master suite.
LED lights installed in the bathroom and in front of the mirrors

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:)

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.
