Love my kitchen Gary was wonderful beautiful cabinetry Gary coordinated the other trades everyone showed up when expected very friendly highly skilled guys would strongly recommend
We recently had a new kitchen installed and couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, the whole process was smooth and professional. Liz and Vanessa patiently answered all of my many questions and were incredibly helpful throughout the project. Liz’s suggestion for the tiles was absolutely spot on they are my favourite part! The cabinetry looks lovely, fits perfectly, and the quality of the workmanship is excellent. The team who completed the installation were friendly, professional, efficient, and clearly took pride in their work. We’re thrilled with our new kitchen and would happily recommend Renew Kitchen and Bathroom Resurfacing to anyone looking for a quality renovation. Thank you to the whole team for such a great experience!
I called after seeing an advertisement on line. From the first contact I was impressed by the level of service and professionalism. A quote was personally given by a sales lady attending the job site and measuring and providing samples of the counter tops available. The quote was accepted and from then on we were kept fully informed of progress. The trades people were always on time and the final job is a testament to their excellent workmanship. The rather sad looking kitchen is now greatly improved with new bench tops and splash back giving a whole new feeling. Thank-you Kitchen and Bathroom Resurfacing .
A great overall result — my ensuite looks brand new. Painting the tiles proved to be an effective alternative to re-tiling and the finish looks fantastic. However, the plasterboard ceiling was significantly damaged during the installation, leaving me to arrange and pay for patching and repainting separately. Rather than being advised of this risk upfront, I was referred to the terms and conditions of the quote after the fact. I would have appreciated the installer being more transparent about the likelihood of this outcome beforehand so that I could make an informed decision and plan accordingly.
Highly Recommended, 5+ STARS! Hi Rod and Team I would certainly like to thank you all for the wonderful job you have done at my home, the workmanship has exceeded expectation. From the start of meeting Liz she made me feel very comfortable with everything and assured me Alex what a wonderful asset to your business took time with detail and nothing was a problem Liam and Graham where also very good, also took their time on detail again this is very much appreciated Not forgetting Vanessa in the office that brings all the bookings and scheduling together Having had my own construction business some time ago good old fashion service never goes a miss And that’s what you provided along with excellent workmanship, very good manners on site that was also noted The Kitchen is an outstanding result and I thank you all very much including you Rod who deserves that CUPPA! 😊 Thanks Again April C
Very happy with service, great comunication, and great results. Thank you all
I am extremely happy with my new kitchen. Liz was so wonderful and helpful to deal with, planning the kitchen. Liam & Graeme were very organised with the installation and their work was high quality. They kept the room clean and tidy the whole installation. I found them all to be very professional, and respectful. I highly recommend this company.
