Kitchen and Laundry Renovation in Papatoetoe, Auckland

Duration of project

August 2019, project took 5 weeks

Our clients are just like any other young family, facing the issues that come with having young children.

“We wanted to have an upgrade and the shelving was getting old and we just wanted to change things before the kids grow older and we get busy with other things” explains our client as a reason for renovating their kitchen and bathroom.

With two working adults with young children aged 5 and 7, a practical kitchen with plenty of storage and easy maintenance was high on their list.

Initially they only wanted to get a few cabinets upgraded in their kitchen but after speaking to Kevin our senior project manager they decided to get their entire kitchen, bathroom and laundry redone. This South Auckland kitchen is one of many kitchen renovations Auckland our Auckland team has completed — from first design concept through to final finish.

AFTER

“We had certain things the way we wanted at the back of our mind but talking to Kevin we realized that there were a few problems with it. We just thought that he was trustworthy” says our client about his initial consultation with Kevin.

While his wife says “About interior of the cabinets he told us the new designs that were out that were more practical and more modern designs”.

In order to add more storage and convenience we added a ‘magic corner’’, custom made storage trays within shelves and a pull out drawer system for the pantry.

Kevin himself has two twin daughters which means that he is well versed with what is practical in a kitchen with young kids.

“We did have a few hiccups just like with anything but we worked through it” – client

BEFORE

AFTER

One of the hurdles that we faced during the project was with the custom drawers in the pantry. Our junior installer took longer than we had anticipated which extended the project time slightly. However Bonnie who was the main project manager ensured that it was re-done according to our clients’ satisfaction.

”Everyone was very respectful of us living in the house” – Client

Their kitchen renovation was completed in 3 weeks after which they went on to get a bathroom and toilet renovated.

”Bonnie made a schedule for 3 weeks and everything was mostly delivered on time” – Client

Our Clients’ Kitchen transformation

Into a functional, Practical and Low maintenance kitchen.

Top Mount Blanco Silgranit Sink—Grey

“Like for the sink we were going to go with stainless sinks and Kevin said no no you have to have this sink (silgranit)” – Client

Cannot be scratched making is durable with young kids. The high proportion of granite makes it dense and durable
Dirt does not penetrate the surface so easy to clean with just one wipe.
Comes with variety of colours and finishes

Pull out Rubbish Bins and Laundry basket

Pull out rubbish bins are a great way to keep you kids away from the bins
Overall having rubbish drawers is a more hygienic way of keeping bins within the house

Storage Solutions—Magic Corners and Pull Out Spice Rack

Just open the doors and pull on the handle to make the front shelves swing right out of the unit
The back shelves can be pulled out individually for easy loading and unloading
The perfect solution for storing tableware, pots and pans
Excellent access and a clear overview across the entire storage space from three sides
Makes best use of the available space
Integrated Softclose soft-closing mechanism
The front shelves can easily be removed for cleaning and clipped back into place
For hinged doors: the hinges can be on the right or the left

Acrylic UV Panel cabinetry with Blum soft close drawers/doors

“Like the acrylic cabinets we would not have gone for it but now that its done its good and it is so easy to maintain” – Client

Acrylic cabinetry with Blum soft closed cabinets were custom made and installed in the bathroom, laundry and kitchen
Soft close drawers and doors are a great relief in homes with young kids who can get prone to banging the doors.
Acrylic cabinets are also easy to maintain as they are easy to clean and durable.

From the very first consultation, our experience with this team has been nothing short of stellar.

Working with Eunice, our sales consultant, set a high bar for the rest of the project.
Eunice is truly exceptional at what she does. When we first began our kitchen project, we went through several versions of our floor plan, and she was with us every step of the way—from the initial planning stages right through to the final concept. Her patience and dedication during the design process were remarkable.
Throughout the project, Eunice provided:
* **Invaluable Suggestions:** She has a keen eye for both aesthetics and functionality, pointing out details we never would have considered on our own.
* **Seamless Adjustments:** No matter how many tweaks we requested, she handled every change with professionalism and a "can-do" attitude.
* **Expert Guidance:** She transformed our vague ideas into a cohesive, stunning reality.

Once the planning was complete, Neil, our project manager, took the reins and truly blew us away. Neil is a consummate professional who balances technical expertise with fantastic communication.
He kept us informed at every stage, ensuring we knew exactly what to expect and when.
Whenever a minor pivot was needed, Neil handled it with grace and efficiency, keeping the timeline on track.
His standards for the renovation work were incredibly high, ensuring the final result was polished and beautiful.

The transition from Eunice’s initial planning to Neil’s execution was flawless. If you are looking for a team that combines design expertise with top-tier project management, look no further. We are absolutely thrilled with our new kitchen and new flooring !

Superior Renovations has just finished a complete remodel of my bathroom. I can see, why the company has such a high reputation. At every stage, from sales, design, project management, and execution, the company excelled at every point. I am just so happy with the work that they have done and they have exceeded my expectations at every point.

Mark Whelan

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.

Libby Campion

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.

Jason Cho

We just finished a bathroom renovation and couldn’t be happier with the results. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the attention to detail in the tiling and finishing is impressive. The team was professional, kept the workspace clean, and delivered exactly what we envisioned. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a high-quality transformation.

Sue B

Superior did an excellent job of renovating our ensuite. Project manager Jacob was easy to work with and communications were good.

This is our second review for Superior Renovations. They have done two projects earlier this year and we were so impressed by the work they have finished. After discussing and very careful consideration, we decided to go with more projects with them. So far, they have now completed stage 1 renovation of our house. We still amazed for their knowledge and services; they really listen to us and discuss anything with us if they feel/think could be better…
From the first day we work with them, we have no issue with them at all, from communication, discussing, designing to the teams working on the site.
Especially we are highly recommended to those who are considering doing the house renovation, please contact them and you will know why we are so pleased to have them to do our house renovation.
We are thanking Cici, Neil and the teams so much….
We are looking forward to seeing what the outcome will be.

We recently had our bathroom renovated by Superior Renovations and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Dorothy and Neil were an absolute pleasure to work with. They guided us through every step of the process, making what can be a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward.
The quoting process was transparent and detailed, with no hidden fees or surprises. Neil was incredibly responsive and always available whenever we had questions or requests, which gave us real peace of mind throughout the project. We really love the end result and enjoy our new bathroom!
We’ll definitely be returning to the Superior Reno team for our next project. Highly recommended!

Our bathroom reno has just been completed & I am so happy. The whole process was easy & hassle free. Alison designed our bathroom & was very patient with our changes/then changes back again. Jacob our project manager was a delight to deal with. He always kept us informed of the scheduling & any other information we may have needed. All the tradies worked hard & the job was completed & signed off within 3 weeks. That's demo, full tiling, installation of new everything & delivery & pick up of the skip down a very tricky driveway. We absolutely love the new bathroom & would recommend Superior Renovations everyday. Future jobs I will definitely be contacting them again. Thank so much for your excellent work

Wendy McLaughlin

Having explored our reno options, it was an easy decision to select Superior Renovations for our work. As first timers at anything like this we had to trust the system with grand old 100year old bungalow. We were so pleased to have Cici, Sonny and Kai working with us the whole way through. Be shout out to all the team, builders, plumbers, electricians, tilers and painters. A superb job delivered on budget and ahead of time. The communication from Cici and Sonny was first class. Would highly recommend working with Superior Renovations in fact, we already have more worked booked in. Thanks Superior you made Millie and Monty's parents very happy. 🐾

Irene Yap

I am very happy with the recent renovation for my new kitchen.
The team worked really hard to get it done within the time frame.
The manager, Jacob, was very helpful and communicated well and always sorts out any issue immediately.
Thank you Irene

We couldn’t be happier with our new pergola! From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and easy to work with. They took the time to listen to what we wanted and offered great suggestions to make the design even better. The quality of the materials and workmanship is outstanding — everything feels solid, well-built, and beautifully finished. Kudos to Sinan Sun as she has been an amazing contact with the company.

Alex Scott

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!

Hammer “AAAAA”

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.

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.

It was great to have Alison's recommendations and input on how & what would look best for our kitchen and bathroom reno. Jacob, our project manager, has been a star too; ensuring that the project was delivered as planned, AND giving us great ideas & suggestions along the way.

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.
