The Brief

A run-down house twelve years ago. The home they always wanted today.

Twelve years ago, Karen and Konstantin bought a house most people would have walked away from — overgrown gardens, dated bathroom, tired kitchen. They saw what it could be.

When the time came to renovate, they did their homework on builders. Plenty of conversations, plenty of dead ends. They were looking for someone who’d treat the work like their own, not a quote on a clipboard.

We started with the bathroom. Three years later — having lived with the result — they came back to do the kitchen and deck too.

The Outcome

A modern classic — the home they’d been building toward all along.

The bathroom was the first chapter — a fully-tiled modern space with classic detailing, designed to feel like it had always been there.

Then came the kitchen and the deck — a kitchen that opens to family life, a deck that opens to the garden. Twelve years from move-in, the house Karen and Konstantin imagined is now the house they live in.

The Transformation

What We Did

The scope, in plain English.

A two-phase renovation in West Auckland — first the bathroom, then three years later the kitchen and deck.

01

Bathroom — Phase One

Full bathroom renovation with floor-to-ceiling tiling, brushed tapware, modern vanity, and a layout reworked for daily life. Completed first; lived in for three years before phase two.

02

Kitchen Rebuild — Phase Two

Complete kitchen rebuild — modern classic design, stone benchtops, custom cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a layout that opens to the rest of the home.

03

New Deck

New outdoor deck designed to extend the living space and connect kitchen to garden — finished alongside the kitchen phase.

04

Liveable Sequencing

Both phases sequenced so the family could live in the home throughout. Phase one ran isolated to the bathroom; phase two kept kitchen down-time to a minimum.

05

Repeat Client Trust

Karen and Konstantin returned three years after their first project — the best signal a builder gets. Both phases delivered on time and on budget.

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.
