How much does an old home renovation cost in Waikato?

When it comes to renovating an old home in Waikato, the extent of the renovation you wish to embark on will determine the cost*. That’s why it’s important to work with a Renovation Consultant who has an understanding of the renovation process and where any hidden costs may lie. At Refresh, our Consultants prepare a quote for your project to avoid unforeseen surprises appearing at any stage of your renovation.
When renovating an old home, you should also be aware that there may be additional costs that appear once you start renovating. Sometimes an old home turns up surprises, such as rotten floor boards, which could impact on the next stage of your renovation. It’s all part and parcel of owning a beautiful old home.
Working with your local Renovation Consultant in Waikato will help to reduce these costs and ensure your project progresses without too many hiccups along the way.
