Bungalow Renovations

Now more than 160 years old, Henry Brown & Co. Ltd. is one of New Zealand’s oldest building companies and as such we offer extensive experience when it comes to renovating Auckland bungalows and villas.

Auckland bungalows are classically beautiful, compact and come with solid bones – not to mention reasonable subfloor ventilation. Built between 1910 and the 1930s, bungalows retain a timeless appeal, provided they can be renovated to match the modern lifestyle and the needs of a growing family.

Made from native timber, construction quality may vary depending on who built the original house. It’s also common to encounter previous additions and renovations that leave a bit to be desired – what was desirable in the 1950s, 60s and 70s (we’ll leave the 80s out of this), is hardly ever a fit post 2017; think Formica wall units, shag-pile carpets and no outdoor indoor flow.

Other challenges may include the proximity of the toilet from the bedrooms – we don’t keep potties under the bed anymore – lack of light and warmth due to the home’s orientation to the sun, the number of power outlets and location and garaging.

The ability to anticipate surprises is key to completing your bungalow renovation on time on budget and to the highest standards of workmanship – see the Henry Brown 100% Guarantee for more information.
