    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.
