More space, more joy: Simon & Joanna’s journey to their dream home

Simon and Joanna had built a beautiful life in their Auckland home. But with their family growing and daily routines becoming tighter, their beloved space started to feel… cramped. So, they had a vision: “We don’t want a bigger house—we want a better one.”

With a brand-new bathroom, a refreshed kitchen, an open living space, and a welcoming deck, we helped them transform their home into a space that brings more ease, more beauty, and more joy into everyday life.

The Challenges

Like many families, Simon and Joanna had their share of concerns:

  • How do we handle building consents for the bathroom?

  • Can we trust a team to manage the whole project?

  • Will we be able to live through the renovation without chaos?

We took all that stress off their plate. From navigating council consents to organizing a seamless timeline, our team supported Simon and Joanna every step of the way—turning what could’ve been a headache into an exciting adventure.

Before & After

Drag the slider and see the transformation!

Before: One bathroom for the entire family. A kitchen that didn’t quite flow. A living area that lacked warmth. And a deck that felt forgotten.

After: A second bathroom that simplified mornings. A kitchen that inspires home-cooked meals. A cozy, light-filled living room. And a deck that now hosts laughter, barbecues, and quiet coffee moments.

“This renovation has truly changed the way we live. The second bathroom is a lifesaver with the kids, and we’ve never spent so much time in the kitchen and deck before. It’s warm, it’s open, and it feels like us.”

The Transformation

This wasn’t just about updating finishes—it was about upgrading their family’s lifestyle. Every room was reimagined to support real, everyday living. Whether it’s morning rushes or quiet evenings, Simon and Joanna’s home now works for them, not against them.

And more importantly, it’s a place where memories will continue to grow.

Simon and Joanna of Add Value Renovations planned and completed our en-suite upgrade. We are entirely happy with the finished product and the service and care they provided. We especially appreciated the direct communication with Simon. He is a good man — honest, reliable, and easy to work with. The attention to detail and quality of the finish was outstanding.

We loved working with Simon and the team at Add Value Renovations. Add Value's project manager Tim, and interior designer Joanna, had excellent communication throughout the entire process. The quality of the workmanship was top-notch and they completed our bungalow renovation on time and on budget.

Just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the outstanding work you've done! A ext. renovation done by Add Value was truly a remarkable transformation. The kitchen and bathroom designs are not only aesthetically stunning but also highly functional. It's evident that a lot of thought and care went into every detail.

We have used the services of Add Value Renovations twice over three years, once for bathroom renovations and more recently for our kitchen and deck. The quality of work has always been excellent and any issues that arose were dealt with promptly and professionally.
