New neighbour-Total Renovations
I’m Matt, the owner of Total Renovations Limited, and I’m here to share my journey with you. Growing up in Hawkes Bay, I discovered my passion for building shortly after finishing school. Starting as an apprentice, I honed my skills on high-end new builds, schools, and other commercial builds and renovations, but it was the charm of older homes like villas and bungalows that truly captured my attention. My motivation for being in the building industry stems from my love for restoring older homes to their former glory. Over the years, I’ve tackled numerous high-end renovations, specializing in villa and bungalow restoration & renovation, architectural builds, and delivering top-notch results. At Total Renovations Limited, we pride ourselves on our core values of honesty, integrity, respect, and professionalism. We work closely with our clients to achieve their dream homes, specializing in full-scale renovations. I invite you to join me on this journey of creating beautiful homes and fulfilling dreams. Let’s build something amazing together.
