Home Renovations

Lets face it, you want your money to be invested wisely and be proud of the finished renovation project – show your friends, family and enjoy the new space!
It’s your home after all and at JKC Building, we treat your home renovation like it is our own home (until handover that is).
I want to renovate your house like it's my house. I want to bring to your attention if something is missing or if there is something that looks cool or appealing and should be in your home. I want to explore all the options where possible while renovating, while building.
If it was me and if someone didn't give me the opportunity to include a great feature that looks nice or would be better, I would be upset.

Consider lighting, statement pieces, textures, colours, flooring & furniture choices to add personality to your home renovation that reflects you & your family.
Dining, Meals & Entertainment
Create a conversation starter at meal time.
Dining rooms are a central part of the home, they bring the family together during the best time of the day – meal time!
Let JKC Building work with you to build your vision for a dining room that represents you and makes you proud.

A Laundry renovation can convert this space to match the theme and design of your home seamlessly.
Smart solutions such as the below are great ideas.
