Full Home Renovation, St Heliers

Project Finish Date

August 2018

Todd and his family bought this St Heliers property to make it into a family home. The house was set in the picturesque suburb of St Heliers with sprawling 4 floors and high ceilings. Apart from that, the house had several problems which needed to be tackled before they could call it a home.

The house was dated, had no natural sunlight, the bathrooms were leaking, there was dated wallpaper on all the walls of the house, the deck was not up to council standards and overall the place smelt damp and mouldy.

Todd had previously dealt with renovation companies for his other properties but wanted to find a company that could manage the process due to his demanding work life. Kevin was the project manager assigned for Todd’s renovation. His clear communication, planning and responsiveness made the renovation particularly easy for Todd.

Renovations are not just about updating a house. They are also about a family’s story, their experience and a future that they can have in that home. As the family lived in the house for the duration of the renovation, it was important to ensure that minimal disruptions were made. Kevin forged a lasting relationship with Todd and his family.

 

” I have already recommended you guys as my experience was really good and I know that Kevin wouldn’t let anyone down. He is just that sort of guy. Right from the start till the end there was the same responsiveness to calls and emails. Same attention to detail, same respect for me and of course my family. From start to finish the experience did not waver. It was solid throughout”  shares Todd of his overall experience with Kevin as his project manager.

See what Todd had to say

 

“Before when you walked into the door, you would notice a smell coming from one of the bathrooms and then you would notice the darkness in the house” shares Todd.

“Whereas now you walk in, the house is really impressive, it’s a lovely space to be in. Everybody that comes here is impressed and enjoys it but it still feels like a home”
