The Home You Love, Renewed
You love the location. You love the bones. You just don't love what the last 20 (or 40, or 60) years have done to the kitchen, the bathroom, or the living areas.
Melbourne's Established Homes Are Our Speciality
A renovation done well doesn't just update your home — it transforms how you feel living in it. More natural light. Better flow between rooms. Materials and finishes that reflect how you actually live.
We specialise in Melbourne's established homes — from 1930s art deco to 1960s brick veneer to 1990s project homes. Each era has its quirks, its structural realities, and its hidden potential. Sergio's 25 years of hands-on experience means he's seen it all, solved it all, and built through it all.
For a heritage or period home, that means understanding what's worth preserving and what genuinely needs to go — creating a result that feels both modern and honest to the home's origins. For a more recent home, it means rethinking layouts, opening up floor plans, and bringing in materials that lift the entire feel of the space.

Complete Home Renovations
When the entire home needs to be brought into the current era — layout, finishes, and infrastructure — a full renovation is often more cost-effective than piecemeal work over years. We transform the whole house in a single, well-managed project.
- Full structural interior reconfigurations
- Complete rewiring and replumbing where required
- New flooring, ceilings, walls — complete internal refurbishment
- Kitchen, bathroom, laundry — all wet areas
Kitchen Renovations
The kitchen is where families actually spend their time — and it should work properly. From full structural replacements to new layouts and custom joinery, we design and build kitchens that are functional, beautiful, and made to last.
- Layout redesign and structural modifications
- Custom cabinetry and joinery
- Stone benchtops and splashback tiling
- Appliance installation, plumbing, and electrical
Bathroom Renovations
Bad waterproofing, poor tiling, inadequate ventilation — most bathroom problems go deeper than they look. We strip everything back to the shell, fix what's there, and rebuild to current standards. The result stands for decades, not years.
- Full bathroom and ensuite renovations
- Structural waterproofing and membrane
- Custom tiling, fixtures, and fittings
- Access improvements and layout rethinks
Heritage & Period Home Updates
Pre-war and post-war Melbourne homes have character no new build can replicate — ceiling roses, timber floors, double brick walls, and proportions that feel right. We work with these features, not against them, bringing the home into the modern era without losing what made it special.
- Sensitive integration of modern kitchens and bathrooms
- Restoration of original features where desired
- Period-appropriate materials and detailing
- Council heritage overlay experience
