When most people think about a kitchen renovation, they picture brand-new kitchen cabinets, fresh paint, and stylish countertops. While these surface upgrades certainly make a kitchen look modern, the reality is that a truly successful kitchen transformation goes far beyond aesthetic upgrades. At Home Renovations and Repairs, our approach to kitchen renovations includes every aspect of the project—from structural changes and ceiling work to tiling, electrical, plumbing, and more.

With over 44 years of construction experience, we understand that the kitchen is not just a cooking space—it's the heart of the home. That’s why our services don’t stop at cabinetry. We are skilled in complete home renovations, and when it comes to kitchens, we bring our full construction expertise to the table. Whether you're looking to remodel a closed-off space into an open-plan kitchen, add more functionality, or undertake a major home extension, we do it all—and we do it properly, the first time.

More Than Cabinets: Our All-Inclusive Kitchen Renovation Process

Many homeowners are surprised by how many different professionals are involved in a typical kitchen project. A traditional kitchen supplier might install your cupboards and walk away, leaving you to source your own tilers, electricians, and builders. At Home Renovations and Repairs, we eliminate that stress. We’re not just a kitchen company—we are your one-stop solution for everything related to home improvement.

Here’s what makes our kitchen renovation services different:

1.Full Structural Assessments and Modifications

Not every renovation is as simple as updating surfaces. Many of our clients want to knock down walls and redesign the layout of their homes to accommodate a bigger kitchen. We specialise in structural repairs and are highly experienced in identifying loadbearing walls that need to be replaced or supported. Using engineered solutions like Girder and Lattice Girder trusses, we create beautiful open-plan kitchens that are both functional and safe. We also provide engineer certificates and manage municipal plan approvals when needed—something many other kitchen companies can’t offer.

2.Ceilings, Walls, and Flooring—Done Right

Along with cabinetry, our team handles brickwork, plastering, painting, waterproofing, and ceiling installations. We work to NHBRC standards, ensuring every finish is up to code and built to last. Many kitchen issues stem from unseen damage, such as damp, roof leaks, or uneven flooring—problems we are trained to detect and fix during the project.

3.Plumbing and Electrical Expertise

Modern kitchens need well-planned plumbing for sinks, dishwashers, and fridges, as well as safe, efficient electrical systems for lighting, appliances, and power points. Our electricians and plumbers are part of our in-house team, and they work under strict quality control standards. You’ll never be left waiting for third-party contractors or worrying about non-compliance. It’s all done by us, with care and precision.

4.Roofing and Waterproofing Solutions

Some kitchen renovations require updates to the surrounding structure, including the roof above or walls adjacent to the kitchen. If we discover any issues during your project—such as sagging roofs, missing bracing, or signs of roof leaks—we can address those too. As roofing specialists, we don’t patch over problems with quick fixes like the “pap and lap” acrylic and membrane method. We remove and replace damaged materials and apply durable, long-term solutions like steel flashing and dampcourse membranes, in line with NHBRC guidelines.

5.Custom Kitchen Design Tailored to Your Needs

We work with all available materials on the market and customise the design according to your space, style, and budget. Whether you're dreaming of a 10 by 10 kitchen design, a built-in cupboard upgrade, or a sleek island layout with modern appliances, we collaborate with you to bring your vision to life. Unlike high-cost mass suppliers, we offer affordable kitchen renovation quotes without compromising on quality.

Why Choose Us Over Standard Kitchen Companies?

Here’s a common scenario: a client gets excited about a kitchen showroom design, signs a deal, and then realises that all the building work, approvals, and service connections are their responsibility. Not only does this cause delays, but it also adds unexpected costs and headaches.

At Home Renovations and Repairs, we offer something different: a turnkey kitchen renovation service that handles everything—from drawings and approvals to demolition, construction, and final finishes.

Our Competitive Edge:

• We handle major and minor alterations, including home extensions, kitchen enlargements, and open-plan redesigns.
• We provide a complete project management service, so you don’t have to chase multiple contractors.
• We ensure structural integrity, roofing, and waterproofing are all sound before beautifying the space.
• We do all electrical, plumbing, and compliance work in-house.
• We only work with qualified, trained professionals, and we have zero tolerance for poor workmanship.

Quality You Can Trust

Our founder, Danie, has decades of experience building homes from the ground up—including high-end properties in estates like Midstream and large-scale projects like the Videx Mining Office. He is known for his dedication to perfection, customer satisfaction, and quality construction. Every job is treated with care, and every client is given the kind of attention only a family-run business can offer.

We are proudly registered with the NHBRC and follow their manual rigorously on every project. That means you get construction that not only looks good but also meets the highest safety and performance standards.

Final Thoughts

Your kitchen is more than just a room—it’s the engine of your home. It’s where meals are shared, kids do homework, and families gather. At Home Renovations and Repairs, we believe that upgrading your kitchen should enhance your entire living experience—not just change the cupboards.

That’s why we go beyond the basics. We bring construction expertise, project coordination, and a commitment to proper, lasting workmanship to every job. From structural repairs and waterproofing to complete kitchen redesigns, we’re here to transform your space—and make the process easy for you.
