FAQs

Minor Renovation & Refresh — Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most about this service.

What is the difference between a refresh and a renovation?+

Scope. A refresh leaves the layout, the wet areas and the services as they are and improves what you see: paint, surfaces, fittings, finishes. A renovation changes some of those underlying things. The moment you move a wall or a wet area, you are no longer in refresh territory.

How do I stop the cost creeping upward?+

Write the scope down before starting, and treat every addition as a variation with its own price agreed at the time. Most cost overruns are not overcharging — they are a series of small 'while you are here' additions that nobody priced. Agreeing them as they arise keeps the total honest.

Can you work while I am living there?+

Yes, and it is common for a refresh. We sequence room by room so you always have usable space. It takes a little longer than an empty unit and there will be disruption on painting days, but it is entirely workable if we agree the sequence at the start.

Is a refresh worth it before selling or renting?+

Often yes, because cosmetic condition drives first impressions much more than most owners expect. What we would caution against is spending on things a buyer or tenant will change anyway. We are happy to tell you which items in your list actually earn their cost.
