A quick look at the suburb we renovate in every week.
Newtown is one of Geelong's most prestigious heritage suburbs — home to period and character homes. From Shannon Avenue to Pakington Street, it's an area worth investing in. As a Geelong-based renovation company servicing Newtown, we've renovated homes right across the suburb.
Newtown's period and character homes ask for a considered approach. Many have solid bones but dated, closed-off layouts and ageing wet areas. Our home and commercial renovations in Newtown match the work to the home — bathroom renovations, kitchen renovations, laundry renovations, tiling, waterproofing and flooring — while respecting the original structure. Whether it's a single room or a whole-home renovation, we're licensed and fully insured, complete all wet-area work to Australian Standards, and run every job with one team, a written scope and clear timelines, so the result lifts comfort, function and long-term property value.
Seven renovation trades built for Newtown's period and character homes — all managed in-house by one local Geelong team.
