Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you use custom or flat-pack cabinets?
We offer both. Custom NZ-made cabinetry gives you the best result and fit. Quality flat-pack (IKEA Sektion, Kinsman) is a budget-friendly option we can also work with. We'll recommend what suits your budget and goals.
Q: What benchtop material do you recommend?
For Auckland's climate and lifestyle, engineered stone (Caesarstone or Silestone) is our most popular recommendation — durable, hygienic and beautiful. Solid timber suits certain styles but requires more maintenance.
Q: Can you remove a wall to create open plan?
Yes. Wall removal is one of our most popular requests. We assess structural requirements, manage consent, and handle all structural and finishing work as part of your kitchen project.
Q: How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Auckland?
A standard kitchen renovation in Auckland costs between $15,000 and $50,000 depending on size, layout changes, appliances and finish quality. We provide detailed free quotes with no obligation — call 022 315 8987.
Q: Are you a registered building company for home renovation work in Auckland?
Yes. My Homes Construct Ltd is a registered building company. All renovation work is completed to NZ Building Code standards and backed by a workmanship warranty as per your quotation.
Q: Do you handle building consents for renovations?
Yes. We manage the entire consent process with Auckland Council on your behalf — drawings, applications, inspections and code compliance certificates. This is included as part of our full project management service.
Q: Do you replace carpet and install laminate or vinyl flooring?
Yes. We replace house carpet and install laminate timber and vinyl flooring across Auckland — including subfloor inspection and builder-grade repairs before the new floor goes down. Pricing depends on your materials specification, and every job starts with a free itemised written quote.
Q: What does a standard kitchen renovation cost in Auckland?
A standard kitchen renovation runs between $15,000 and $50,000, depending on size, whether the layout moves, appliance specification and finish quality. Keeping plumbing and electrical in their existing positions is the single biggest saving available. Moving the sink, the hob or a wall pushes the job into a different bracket regardless of how modest the cabinetry is.
Q: How much does moving the sink or hob add to a kitchen job?
It changes the job category. Keeping services where they are means the work is joinery, benchtop, splashback and finishes. Moving them brings in plumbing, drainage falls, electrical, possible floor or wall opening, and potentially consent. If budget is tight, a new kitchen in the existing layout delivers far more visible improvement per dollar.
Q: How do I choose a benchtop material?
Decide by how you actually use the kitchen. Engineered stone and stainless steel handle heat and heavy use; timber needs oiling and rewards care; laminate is the value option and has improved enormously in appearance. Also weigh joint locations and edge profiles — on a long run, where the joins fall is more visible day to day than the material itself.
Q: Can I keep my existing cabinets and just replace the doors?
Yes, if the carcasses are square, dry and structurally sound, and the layout still works for you. New doors, handles, benchtop and splashback transform the look at a fraction of full replacement. It stops being worthwhile when the carcasses are swollen, the hinges have torn out, or you actually want a different layout.
Q: What order do the trades run in on a kitchen?
Demolition, then any structural work, then rough-in plumbing and electrical, then linings and stopping, then flooring or floor prep, cabinetry install, benchtop template and fit, splashback, final plumbing and electrical fit-off, then painting touch-up. Getting this sequence wrong — flooring too early, splashback before template — is what creates rework and delay.
Q: What does a bathroom renovation cost in Auckland?
Bathroom renovations typically fall between $8,000 and $35,000. The lower end is a same-layout refresh — new fittings, tiling and waterproofing in the existing footprint. The upper end involves moving plumbing, converting a bath to a walk-in shower, structural changes or premium tiling. Waterproofing is not the place to economise at any point in that range.
Q: What should I budget for a full house renovation?
Whole-house renovations span $50,000 to $250,000 in Auckland, which is a wide band because it covers everything from a cosmetic refresh of every room to gutting back to framing. The variables that move it most are structural change, re-wiring and re-plumbing, joinery replacement, and whether the roof and exterior are in scope at the same time.
Q: How much does renovating one room cost?
A single-room renovation generally runs $5,000 to $25,000 depending on whether it is finishes only or includes new linings, insulation, wiring, joinery and flooring. Rooms are the easiest scope to control precisely, which is why they suit staged renovations — you can complete one properly rather than half-finishing three across the same budget.
