Penelope left this five star review: “Everything that I have read in other reviews is true. Craig and his team were easy to work with and delivered a product that far exceeded expectations. There is nothing that I do not like about my renovated home. the difference that the full-house renovation made is like night and day. The process was easy, even though I was living in another state when we began. Craig and the team helped with ideas and kept me informed of progress through the BuilderTrend app. The app meant that I could log in at anytime to communicate with the team and view photos of what was happening. The after build care has been excellent too. If you want to upgrade your living space – do yourself a favour – give NEWR a call. You will be so glad that you did.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a new kitchen add value to my home?
The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home so prospective buyers will look fondly upon a home that has an attractive, well-designed and functional kitchen. Buyers will be willing to pay more if they know the kitchen is up to a high standard and they won’t have to do any work to it for quite some time.
How do I prepare for my kitchen renovation?
It is a good idea to clean out the area and remove all of the things you don’t want in your new kitchen. You will also have to think about not having a kitchen for a short period, so you may want to move your fridge and set up another area where you can use basic kitchen appliances.
How long does it take to renovate a kitchen?
It can often be a somewhat lengthy process, from working out the plans to the final installation can be somewhere around six weeks. It may be more or less depending on the scale and specifics of a kitchen renovation. It may be worthwhile to ask the company how long it will take before agreeing to anything.
How much does a kitchen renovation cost?
There are so many factors that go into the cost of a kitchen renovation that it’s impossible to come up with an exact figure. A smaller, more basic renovation may cost around $10,000 to $15,000, while a mid-range kitchen will be closer to $30,000 and a top-of-the-range kitchen is over $45,000. It is important to look closely at the quote and plans provided by the kitchen renovation company to make sure you know exactly what you’re getting for the price.
What factors should I consider when planning a kitchen renovation?
Several factors should be taken into consideration when planning a kitchen renovation. These include your budget, desired layout changes, choice of materials and finishes, appliance selection, and any additional features or upgrades you wish to include.
