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

We had renovated a previous house ourselves and knew this would be a large job. We were attracted by the idea of having the work professionally project managed to ensure that it was done on time and to budget. We initially met Lia at a home show and were impressed enough to request a site meeting to talk through what we wanted done. After discussing our ideas with them and suggesting solutions, Lia and her team began putting together a design. Lia was excellent at preparing the initial quote, finding ways to fit the work we wanted done into our budget, and then overseeing the ongoing work with (construction manager) Milo. We were particularly impressed with her estimates as they were pretty much spot on…(She) was unfailingly polite and patient in her dealings with us and managed our expectations well. She also provided good advice about interior design.

Lia and her team are dedicated to providing an exceptional quality service. They are passionate about helping their clients and ensuring that they meet their needs and support them through the process. Highly recommend!

Charlotte Moodie

We’re still often finding ourselves just staring at the finished article and marvelling at what our home looks like now. A big thank you to Refresh, Lia and all involved.

Paul Molloy & Lisa Maria

Thank you so much Refresh, Lia and team for making our bathroom renovation so easy and for taking care of all the details for us, especially in seeking out all the fixtures and fittings we wanted and managing the schedule and tradies. The whole experience was very low stress and now we have a light and modern bathroom instead of a dark outdated one – wonderful.

Cate

It was clear what our wish-list was, but this didn’t always quite line up with our budget and Lia managed this very well – we’ve just never learnt how to do that when we’ve tried to do it by ourselves.

Lia was very hands on right through from concept through to completion, including managing the drawings process, council approvals, liaising with suppliers, and offering knowledge on the selection of products.

There’s genuine complexity with some of this stuff, Lia was really good. Occasionally we’d make a call and say something’s not right, and she was nothing but proactive in owning the issue with us and making it right.

We were extremely pleased with the end result.

Dan and his team were simply awesome with our renovation. The whole process was taken care of for us, down to the finest detail. Communication was clear from start to finish, and Dan accommodated our needs throughout the renovation. Pricing was very reasonable, and the process went through smoothly. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out! We'll get Dan and his team to help us with our next renovation project.

Lia at Refresh Renovations is incredible - so reliable and knowledgable. Can't thank her enough for all of her hard work and professionalism.

Sara Tansy

Lia is amazing. We had some renovation work done to our place 12 months ago. Throughout the process she was incredibly professional, and made sure our needs were met. During the lockdown recently, we noticed a leak in the ceiling (on a Friday night to make things worse). We emailed Lia, and within an hour we had roofers organised for the next day, and all covered under their warranty. We were incredibly impressed with this, and shows that the ongoing support will be there. It is one thing to have a good experience during the work, but to maintain this level after completion is on another level. If I could rate Lia and her team higher I would. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Ravi Dass

Lia and her team at Refresh are such a breath of fresh air. Easy to deal with, extremely responsive and professional and what's more, they know their stuff and have a nice way of helping their clients achieve their goals. 

Paige Carlyle

Dan and his team helped us through every stage of our kitchen renovation. While we experienced a few unanticipated delays, Dan and his team communicated these with us upfront and kept us informed at each stage along the way. The end result is a new kitchen that we love - so a huge thanks to Dan and the team! 

Dana Jacobsen

Haven't got to the actual doing of the project yet but interactions with Refresh so far have been good.

Rob Clubley

Choosing Lia and her Refresh Renovation Wellington team for our kitchen renovation was a great decision and we had a positive rewarding experience. From planning, pricing and delivery of our kitchen renovation the Refresh Renovation Wellington team were really helpful. Communication and project management went hand in hand in providing an experience that didn't leave you wondering what and when things were happening. The trades were one of the tidiest I have worked.

Tim Papps

I was extremely please with the way Lia and Refresh Renovations carry out the extension at my property, that I had no hesitation in asking Lia and her team to renovate my bathroom. The service from design to the finish bathroom, the approach, attention to detail and professionalism as well as the communication was as good as the first time, the quality of the workmanship was again to a very high standard. Lia's knowledge in the products was a great help in finalizing the look of the bathroom. I’ve recommended Lia and Refresh Renovations to a number of people and won’t hesitate to used them again.

Michael Rebucha

We were impressed with the 'can do' approach of the Refresh team and their contractors. Our re-roofing project was carried out timeously, without fuss and professionally. Of special mention is Matt Burner who oversaw the project and never failed to answer every call, query, request. Highly recommend Dan and his team at Refresh.

Dan and his team helped us replace our bathroom after some extensive water damage. They did a fantastic job! They are professional, reliable and efficient. Matt was always just a phone call or an email away, and he went above and beyond to give us a high-quality, beautiful bathroom. The tradespeople they work with all take great pride in completing their work to a very high standard and were all really professional on site. If I ever have to do renovations again, Dan and his team will be the only people I call!

Jenelle Winstanley was the lead on our project and she very much gave us 110%.

She communicated well, was in touch with regular updates and kept things rolling and on track.

She was really approachable and friendly and always willing to be available whenever we needed her. Going the extra mile appears to be her default setting.

I cannot fault her support, attention to detail and her enthusiasm for our project.

I would highly recommend her to any of my friends.
