Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you serve?

We serve the entire Stellenbosch area and nearby suburbs. Our local network allows us to connect you with suitable professionals familiar with properties and service requirements in Stellenbosch.

Do you offer free quotes for renovations?

Yes. Most renovation quotes start with a free on-site visit so the contractor can assess the space, discuss your ideas, and provide an accurate written quote. WhatsApp 060 985 5047 to arrange a visit.

How long does a kitchen or bathroom renovation take?

A typical bathroom renovation takes 1–2 weeks and a kitchen 2–4 weeks, depending on the scope, the finishes chosen, and how much plumbing or electrical work is involved. Your contractor provides a realistic timeline with the quote.

Do you manage all the trades, or do I arrange them myself?

The renovation contractor coordinates the trades — plumbing, electrical, tiling, carpentry, and painting — so you deal with one point of contact and one project timeline rather than booking each trade separately.

Can you handle structural changes like removing a wall?

Yes. Removing internal walls for open-plan living is common in renovations. Where a wall is load-bearing, the contractor installs the correct structural support (beam or lintel) and arranges any sign-off required before finishing.

Do you do both small upgrades and full home renovations?

Both. Whether it is a single bathroom refresh, a kitchen remodel, or a whole-home renovation before selling or moving in, we connect you with contractors suited to the size of your project.

How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Stellenbosch?

Kitchens are the most-requested renovation in Stellenbosch. A facelift — doors, tops and handles on the existing layout — through to a full refit with new cabinetry, plumbing and electrics spans roughly R30,000–R180,000. Keeping the layout is the single biggest saving.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Stellenbosch?

A cosmetic refresh through to a full remodel runs about R25,000–R120,000. Moving plumbing points is the biggest cost jump, so a new bathroom in the same layout costs far less than the same finishes rearranged.

Do you do house extensions and garage conversions?

Yes — extensions, and conversions such as a garage into a flatlet, roughly R60,000–R300,000 depending on size and finish. Anything structural or that changes the building footprint needs municipal plan approval, which we flag before you commit rather than after.

Can you help with the kitchen design, not just the building?

Yes. For kitchens especially the layout and cabinetry decisions are made before any building starts, and getting them wrong is expensive to undo, so we can bring in someone to work that through with you first.
