Frequently asked questions about Major Renovations & Extensions
Can we live in our house while the renovation is underway?
For minor extensions, staged living may be possible. For major structural wall removals or roof alterations, temporary relocation is recommended for safety and speed.
How do you ensure the extension matches the existing house?
As trade-qualified carpenters, we mill or source identical timber profiles, roof pitches and finishes so the addition looks original to the home.
