Pakuranga's family homes and waterside streets are a great fit for renovation. We've completed bathroom and full-home projects across the suburb, bringing dated layouts up to modern standards with quality finishes.
Here are real Pakuranga renovations: bathrooms and full-home transformations by HouseMakeover.
From certified waterproofing and precision tiling to full project management, we handle Pakuranga renovations end to end, with honest, itemised quotes and a 4.9★ rating from 45 Google reviews.
Pakuranga was built out through the 1960s and 1970s, and brick-and-tile family homes dominate. These houses are structurally sound and generously laid out, but the bathrooms were built before modern waterproofing practice, which is why so many of them are now leaking quietly into the floor.
What tends to turn up once we open up a Pakuranga bathroom:
None of it is unusual, and none of it is a reason to put the job off. It's the reason we check what's behind the lining before we price the finish, and the reason our quotes are itemised rather than one lump figure. You can see the approach in our Robert Allen Way project above, and across the full gallery.
We come to you in Pakuranga, measure up, look at the state of the floor and framing, and talk through what you actually want.
A clear, line-by-line quote, usually within one business day. No vague allowances and no hidden extras.
Strip-out, framing repairs, certified waterproofing, tiling, plumbing and fit-off. One team, one project manager, regular updates.
Full clean, final walk-through, and your 2-year workmanship guarantee in writing.
Often not. Replacing fittings in the same positions is usually treated as maintenance. Once you move plumbing, take out a wall, or add a new sanitary fixture, consent typically comes into it. We'll tell you which side of the line your job sits on at the site visit, and we handle the council process when it's needed. There's more in our guide to bathroom renovation consent in NZ.
Most bathrooms take roughly 2 to 4 weeks on site. If a leak has been going a while, allow for framing repair before the new work starts. You get a realistic timeline with the quote, and we tell you early if anything shifts. Our guide on how long a bathroom renovation takes breaks it down stage by stage.
Every bathroom is different, so we quote per project after a visit rather than guessing. For a ballpark first, try our 60-second cost estimator, or read what actually drives bathroom renovation cost in Auckland.
Sometimes, and we'd rather look first. We check the floor and framing before quoting the finish, and our quotes are itemised rather than a single lump sum. If the scope genuinely changes once the wall is open, you hear it from us straight away and in writing.
Yes. Waterproofing and tiling are the two things most likely to fail later, so they're done by our own people to certified standards rather than subcontracted out to whoever's available.
