Change the way you renew your home

Why wait until your renovation is finished to start relaxing? At Refresh Renovations, we are changing the way the world renovates. We put your needs at the heart of our process, then manage every step for you from “what if” to “what a result!”

The Refresh Renovations difference

The traditional approach to home renovations was a recipe for turning a dream into a nightmare! Homeowners would deal with an architect, a builder and whatever other trades were needed to hopefully deliver on the vision without going too much overtime or over budget.

At Refresh Renovations, we knew we could do better

Your Refresh Renovations Consultant is your key point of contact from day one to completion. Refresh Renovations work to understand your vision and your budget, then align all the people and resources you need to make it happen.

The result? A home you’ll feel proud of (of course!) but also a process that keeps the hassles to a minimum, your budget under control and your timeline on track.

Testimonials

Saleem and the team were great to deal with. Good quality work that stuck to the budget and timeframe. great communication from Saleem as we knew what was going on at all times. 

Erin Thorne

As working parents with three young children, our renovation project would have been impossible without Saleem and his trusted, hard-working team, who are reliable and efficient. I was impressed by the level of communication throughout the project and Saleem was always approachable, always happy to discuss ideas. I’m already recommending Refresh to other families contemplating renovations.

Mel Ange

We highly recommend choosing Saleem at Refresh Renovations. We are very impressed with the work that Saleem and his team have done for us at our property. The end result is amazing! It was great to know what was happening with the reno every step of the way as Saleem kept us in the loop the whole time. We found Saleem to be very approachable, great attention to detail (love love love the tiles) and we completed the work within the timeframe and budget. Thanks Saleem and team! We’ll definitely be keeping your contact details for next time.

Lorrayne Rani

We engaged Saleem to renovate our bathroom and put in a deck with seating and stairs. Right from the start we found Saleem easy to deal with, clear and prompt communication and giving us genuine guiding advice throughout the initial design stages. The quality of the work was fantastic, we are absolutely delighted with the work and our new bathroom and deck. It was delivered to timeframe expectations and we were kept informed throughout the project. Everything was visible through the project management tool as well. We really loved working with Saleem and will engage him again for any other work we have in the future. We actually went with Refresh Renovations originally to avoid having to deal with multiple suppliers but funnily enough, everyone Saleem used on the job was delightful, delivered great work and made our experience even better. Thanks team. Highly recommend you to anyone in the market for some renovations.

Tara Kingston

Well managed. Stuck to schedule and budget. No stress for us and a great result. Thanks Saleem.

Oliver Reeve

MJ and his team, came to our run down 1960's home and performed their magic. They put on a new roof, renovated, like completely gutted the bathrooms down to the studs, painted all through including changing our wallpapered walls to paint-able walls. Hours of plastering to result in these gorgeously smooth walls and they look brand new. The old battered doors were changed as well. We've put new LEDs and downlights all the way through and we are very proud of the work that was done. We even put in gas hot water, at MJ's suggestion. We are very pleased with our home, it is rocksolid, and beautiful as well. Thanks MJ and the team.

Colleen Fakalogotoa

Thanks MJ for the fabulous work done for our family. the project and the team of builders have done a great job of delivering what the family envisioned and making our life more exciting. Kids love this very much as this extension was for them. Also my friends and families did not realize that there was an extension done as it flowed and connected seamlessly with our existing home. In general, the well managed project and high-quality delivery and we are very satisfied.

Hemant Kumar

Jim Gleeson and Refresh Renovations have worked with us over the last couple of years to extensively renovate our home - re-roofing, renovating our upper level including replacing some windows and glass, and then the biggie, new kitchen, dining room and redecorating our living area. It has been a complex project and having Jim and the Refresh team coordinating it made all the difference. Budgets were comprehensive, so we were always confident of the work being done to our specifications, and knew exactly what proposed changes would add to the cost. Refresh staff are all very approachable and understand how 'renovation fatigue' can set in and were always ready to help make the process as smooth as possible. The extra push to get the kitchen finished before Christmas was greatly appreciated! We would not hesitate to recommend Refresh to others (and have done so already).

Ann Northover

I've had two renovations done by Refresh. Both by Saleem in Auckland. One renovation was for my home and one for my business. Both went really well. They were well within the expected time frame and budget. Saleem managed everything really closely and was very good at maintaining regular communication. I also really like the app they use so you can see what's happening. Saleem managed any issues we had really quickly and there was minimal stress. Very happy with the quality of both jobs. 

Oliver Reeve

Refresh Renovations Auckland Central has done an astounding job on my Kitchen Renovation which just got completed in September 2019. My kitchen is looking spectacular, state of the art, could not be happier. MJ and his Team have been intellectually efficient, and I was extremely impressed with the accomplishment. Highly recommend Refresh Renovations Auckland Central to anyone wanting a dynamic and optimum service, with total professionalism.

Mila Karan

When I was undertaking a renovation in my apartment I decided to employ a renovation company, as the thought of independently sourcing and coordinating the number of different trades involved was a little daunting. I engaged Saleem Bhikoo from Refresh Renovations, as his company had done an amazing job renovating the kitchen and 2 bathrooms at my daughter"s place. I am very pleased that I made that decision. Saleem listened very well to everything I wanted and was able to take the project organisation and delivery off my hands. Throughout the renovation, he communicated well with me and everything went according to plan. The project delivered all that I was hoping for. The timeline was strictly adhered to, which kept disruption to a minimum. The work from all tradesmen was of a high standard and they did a great job of cleaning up throughout the process. Saleem was an excellent manager throughout and I would certainly recommend him and Refresh Renovations.

Erin Thorne

Although we are ardent about doing our own renovations, this time our ages along with the complexity of a bathroom and civil engineering required for the driveway meant we needed someone to project manage the several skills required. This is new territory for us and we are quite particular about what we want done and perhaps how things should happen. Jim Gleeson has managed consultation, design and specification with depth of technical expertise along with excellent communications. He “listens to his clients” particularly well and offers sage advice when needed. At the end of this first phase of renovation, we are confident that the project is in very capable hands with him and his team at KKG Ltd.

Thanks to MJ and his team for the installation of our new cooker. We certainly had some hurdles to jump through - as you do with renno's but nothing was too much problem and the team were really great in working through towards a great install with wonderful crafts-people-ship. We love our new cooker installation! Thank you.

We recently engaged Dave Georgetti and his team from Refresh Remuera to undertake a total house renovation. Thoroughly professional, yet personable. We are very pleased with the result - enjoying our new home in time for the summer break. The essential value-add that Dave/Refresh provide is to guide you through the myriad of tradespeople, suppliers and decision making. All whilst keeping up the relentless momentum against a detailed project plan and budget. We challenged Dave many times with decision changes mid-project and he handled it with flexible good cheer all the way through to completion. Do not underestimate how tough it is to do by yourself. Highly recommend you reach out to Dave.

My experience with Refresh Renovations was only positive. From the outset, Saleem was helpful and knowledgeable. He offered lots of good ideas and nothing was ever too much trouble. The job was completed on time and there was constant communication. He even managed to find painters with a couple of day's notice for an emergency job outside of the original plan. Saleem is a perfectionist - once the work was done he came round and spotted things I hadn't even noticed and called tradespeople back to sort touch-ups. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Stuart Dye

Well managed. Stuck to schedule and budget. No stress for us and a great result. Thanks Saleem.

Oliver Reeve

Thank you MJ and Refresh Renovations Auckland Central for the superb job with my bathroom upgrades. Personally, I appreciate the way your team listened to our needs, addressed all our pain points during the work and also guiding us with the product selection while giving us the space to choose the right fittings. Very happy with the end result. Looking forward to working with you and your team in future.

We recently used Saleem and his team for a total renovation of our 2 bedroom unit. We found the entire process exceeded our expectations and the project was well managed and completed on time - it was a tight timeline of 3 months to have it move-in ready. The workmanship of all the trades involved was of a high standard. At all stages through the process, there was clear communication, a common-sense approach, regular meetings and with the customer portal that you get access to, we could always see the total costs, change requests, approvals and the timeline. We would definitely use Saleem and his team again for future projects as he really made the entire process stress free for us and delivered an amazing result.

Corey and his team were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. The renovation service was professional, and was well laid out and managed through online software. Renovating in an apartment comes with it's barriers and obstacles, which we were all collectively able to overcome. Was kept informed with the project throughout. We renovated a floor, laundry room, wardrobe and sun seat. Would recommend anyone to use Corey and his team for any mid to large renovation projects.

We engaged Refresh Renovations to completely renovate our bathroom. MJ talked us through the whole process and was very flexible when it came to last minute modifications to the design. He was very easy to deal with and very keen to see that we had the best outcome. Our project manager Jason also responded quickly to any concerns we had, quickly resolving any issues. We are very happy with the final result. Thank you for turning our vision into a reality.

We owned a classic Auckland villa in Onehunga which required the usual renovation requirements of an aging villa. These included full house re-piling, exterior and window rot repair and paint (including new timber joinery), roof repair and paint, interior painting and tiling, and some plumbing work. Dominic at Refresh initially led us through the design and council consenting process for the re-piling work. Following this, Dominic and his team undertook all the renovation works mentioned above, dealing with all the subcontractors without us having to get involved. Renovations can be stressful (especially through COVID), and there were issues which popped up, however these were communicated and resolved satisfactorily. Dominic took care of all the council documentation, inspections as well as the final CCC. Overall we are really pleased with the results and glad we engaged Dominic at Refresh to help us through the process. We would definitely recommend Dominic and his team.

Gretchen Bamford

I was given a fresh look at our home through the eyes of a Refresh consultant. She not only gave me her recommendations for immediate ways to take the house forward now, cost effectively, she also suggested a modification for the bathroom upstairs, should I get less mobile. Her visit has made us feel enthusiastic to get on and put her recommendations into effect soon. We have already written to seek quotes from recommended providers.
